Have The Shit Tit Experience!
Yes folks, the juggernaut that is our local waste water treatment plant keeps on coming with this item— which was brought to my attention by my friend Aaron Short. Open House New York will once again be allowing access to our beloved landmark Saturday, October 9th, and Sunday, October, 10th! You can get a full schedule of times and make a reservation (as I have) by clicking here. Note: strollers are not allowed and “sturdy closed-toe shoes” are required. Heh…

LAST GASP: The Shit Never Sleeps?
As if my props to this, the Garden Spot’s most prominent landmark, via Time Out New York was not enough now I have learned our very own Shit Tits have made their way onto the silver screen. In an Oliver Stone film, no less! Jen (one of the fabulously cool co-pastors of the Greenpoint Reformed Church) writes:
Hi Heather,
You might already know about this, but today Ann and I went and saw the new Wall Street movie and the shit tits play a major role in the film. Of course they aren’t playing the role of a poop processing center. Instead they have been casted as a green energy research facility. Creative casting.
Methinks I might just have to see this (or would that be “them?”) on the big screen!

Reader Contribution Du Jour, Part II: Bullsh*t

Once again, G shut down for the weekend. I think I recognize the handwriting as the “stop Afghanistan” guy… But must agree that this is bullshit! From the Greenpt ave stop.
Given that Atlantic Antic is this upcoming Sunday this will undoubtedly be a total and utter fiasco. Way to go, MTA!

FRIDAY: Fashion On Franklin Street
This items comes from via the New York Shitty inbox via one of the inimitable (and fabulous) boys of Alter. Roy writes:
Hey Miss Heather,
Hope you are well. I wanted to a share with you that this Friday, Sept 10th is Fashion’s Night Out. A global outreach to get people excited about shopping produced by Vogue, NYC and the CFDA. Most of the shops on Franklin St are participating and we all have collaborated on promoting the night. I have attached the flyer for it and would love to see if you are interested in featuring it on your site. Each store will have different events going on. Some will have DJ’s, free giveaways, complimentary drinks, discounts etc. (Alter will also be selling the official FNO tee shirt as well as having a photo studio in the shop to shoot all customers who attend and of course champagne) Its going to be fun night on Franklin St. There will be an after party at Veronica People’s Bar as well!
This is the second year for this event and last year was great for all the shops that participated. Only 4 last year, this year 10!
Duly blogged! Show your local indie businesses a little love this upcoming Friday and check this out!

Spotted On Franklin Street: Illegal Advertising On Public Property
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
It would appear that OSA, Open Space Alliance, is employing illegal “street art” advertisements on street signs for their concerts. In a landmarked district, no less. Given the litigious nature of this organization and the fact it is a “private/public partnership” I find this very interesting. The fact this was erected by Leviticus is pure gravy. When I want to feel dirty I read those passages.*

Crosstown Local Photos Du Jour: Waiting
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crosstown Local, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
When I took the above shot I accidentally bumped into a young woman. After apologizing I explained:
Whenever they suspend G train service I like to take pictures of all the happy people waiting for the shuttle bus.
She laughed. And I added:
It’s like something from the Great Depression. These people look like they want to shove the barrel in their mouths and pull the trigger.
She replied:
You should email that to the MTA.
Perhaps I will?
