Swinging Sixties Seniors Center

Brooklyn, New York 11211
On a (somewhat) related note, I have received word the Swinging Sixties Seniors Center is slated for closure January 2013.
Yours truly would like to humbly recommend that the Polish National Home (AKA: The Warsaw) be pressed into service as the new venue for meetings of our local Community Board. Given some of the convocations of this body yours truly has attended in days past, having access to a refreshments of the alcoholic variety would (in my humble opinion, anyway) make these proceedings much more provocative.

New York Shitty Day Starter: Happy Pulaski Day!
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, New York City
A lot folk hereabouts only know this chap by the rather ugly bridge which spans an incredibly toxic waterway which bears his name. That’s a shame. Thus, I am dedicating this, my Pulaski Day post, to a wonderful item from one of my favorite sites: Badass Of The Week.
When some of you, gentle readers, grouse over the shenanigans which will undoubtedly ensue today which will include but by no means be limited to:
- Assorted motor vehicles sporting Polish flags and blaring music tearing up and down our streets honking
- Drunken chicanery.
Please remember this fellow, in some part, made your (and my) shenanigans/chicanery possible. Without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: 2 Blessed 2 Be Stressed
This item was brought to my attention via an email blast from the wonderful Pastor-In-Charge of the Church of the Ascension, John Merz. He writes:
Dear folks
I am writing to have you help advertise our community Annual Blessing and Remembrance of the Animals to be held at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension Saturday October 13th at 3pm. If you were able to post on your blogs, online publications and facebook pages that would be wonderful. Here is the text for the ad and a jpeg of the poster is attached. And I might add if there are ever community events etc or things you would like to do at the church do not hesitate to contact me. Any questions about this please contact me (via email) at: ascensionbrooklyn (at) gmail (dot) com
Blessing of the Animals and Remembrance
Saturday October 13th 3pm @ the Episcopal Church of the Ascension
All creatures great and small and their caregivers are invited to join us in the Church as we bless our beloved animals and also remember those that have past. The simple service will last about 15 minutes. People are encouraged to stay around out in front of the Church or in the Garden to strengthen the bonds of our animal loving community. We ask that all dogs be on leash and cats in cat carriers or other suitable transport whatever your animal may be…
