Thanks Bobby for the update. I walked by there tonight; it is so nice out, a lot of people walking around in the cool, clear air - but no skater kids hanging in that empty Astor space where their cube stands. Don't know what ya got 'til it's gone.

I vote for a new sculpture:
A statue of Allen Ginsberg, also on a pivot, so the skater punks can spin him around all day & night long.

I vote for a whole East Village mock pantheon, Ginsberg, Penny Arcade, anyone who ever performed at PS122, with a looped recording of Reno telling Giuliani jokes. And the pigeon crap should never be cleaned off.

Thought they could have opened a repair shop right there and taken on apprentises. why not dig a huge pit and create stairs down to a windowless museum under that platform about the real east village.

Better than the major fire in the Gompers Houses the other week. Whole apartment on top floor goes up in huge spectacular conflagration. Lights up the whole area. Helicopters, major stir up in the nabe all night long. Three bodies found. Breaking news on local network teevee. Then no follow up at all because the three bodies were the result of a "family dispute." If it was drugs or some other vice thing there would be coverage through the court sentencing of whoever. But since it is in a city housing block and some bizarre family thing no one is allowed to publicize it beyond the obvious spectacle.

Reviving this topic for local news from all over Manahatta-

This glorious tale in the Post a few days ago-

quote:


HANGY SPANKY

February 9, 2008 -- A leather-loving submissive was clinging to life yesterday after a freak accident at a Midtown bondage club cut off oxygen to his brain, law-enforcement sources said.

A dominatrix at The Nutcracker Suite on East 33rd Street called 911 at about 1:30 a.m. after finding the hooded man turning blue in a dungeon room as he hung by his arms.

He was also wearing nipple clamps, a dog collar and women's high-heeled shoes, and his hands were cuffed behind his back, sources said.

For our West Village clubbers and residents -

LATE NIGHT MUGGING/ ARMED ROBBERY ALERT

From Gothamist

quote:

Police continue to maintain a heightened presence in the "Wild West Village" as they search for the two muggers responsible for a series of late night robberies and bloody attacks in the area over the last month. The only description of the pair is that they are "dark skinned," possibly so limited because they have been attacking their female victims from behind. Cops had originally said that the muggings were not part of a pattern, but now have confirmed that six are related. All have taken place between 11:30 pm and 2:45 am.

The Post talked to a recent victim who was robbed at Bleecker and West 10th Street. She recounted, "There were two guys - one had a hood on and a bandanna over his face. He grabbed me from behind and put a gun to my head. I was crying. I was agreeing with everything he wanted me to do. He said, 'Don't even think of f- - -ing screaming. Don't f- - -ing scream. Don't f- - -ing scream."

They caught the two perps yesterday.
One was smart enough to still have stolen property from one of the muggings on his person.

For any other fans of the legendary "carrot peeler man" Joe Ades (the delightfully eccentric Englishman who demonstrated and sold his vegetable peelers at the corner of Union Square for decades), Im planning on stopping by this memorial on Saturday:

quote:

"We will gather at the statue on the south side of Union Square park on Saturday, February 7th, at 1 p.m; and invite everyone to bring memories, anecdotes, and of course, a peeler and carrots or potatoes. As we join together to peel, we will create a temporary vegetable memorial that will incorporate stories and photos that the community brings to share."


Only in New York, kids...
