Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Millenium Falcon
When this young lady arrived with her family at the Gibson after the Kite Fest, well, I simply had to get a shot of her kite. She told me she made it herself and (I quote) “it didn’t fly very well”. Given there was little wind (at least when I arrived, anyway) I assured her it was due to no fault of her own— and that her creation was quite nifty. Besides, if I remember correctly the original had such problems. This, in my (admittedly dorky) opinion only lends to its authenticity.
If you want reliability you go with an X-Wing… or Tie Fighter.

Dear Neighbors and Friends:
As you know, I am strongly and proudly supporting Jo Anne Simon in her campaign to be our next City Councilmember. Jo Anne’s years of experience as an effective community leader, on issues ranging from affordable housing to accountable government, to truck traffic and parking reform, make her the best possible representative for us.
But why listen to me?
Come meet Jo Anne this Wednesday, August 5th. We’ll be at The Gibson (Bedford Avenue and North 11th Street) from 7pm. You can ask her your tough questions about why she’s the best person to represent us, and learn more about why she is running for the seat…
I encourage each and every one of you who is interested in the 33rd District City Council race to attend this event. And, dear readers, you should be interested: whoever is elected to fill David Yassky’s vacant seat will have serious ramifications for north Brooklyn. Any and all interested in this opportunity to meet Jo Anne Simon (who, it should be noted, is the only female candidate in this packed race) can RSVP via email at: contact (at) joanneforcouncil (dot) com.
Let’s give Ms. Simon a hearty Greenpoint welcome!
