On April 12th I’ll be participating in Hands On New York Day.
In memory of our selfless and unbelievably awesome friend Craig, please consider donating to the cause.
The official word:
New York Cares creates volunteer projects that meet pressing needs in our city all year long–reading to kids, preparing meals for the homeless, visiting lonely […]

Apparently this amazing man is opening a venue in our fair city of NYC at 100 Lafayette. Apparently this venue is supposed to be called Santa’s Party House and apparently there are no vehicles in this world that will get me to Alex W.K. fast enough for me to throw myself in his arms and […]

Holy shit, all of a sudden I turn around and it’s like 2002 in here and everybody and their great aunt has started a damn blog. Slow down kids, you’re killing my productivity. Here are a few that some choice dudes I work for/with have started up in the past month or so. Good stuff, […]

no excuses.

GEDDIT HAHAHA. What? Sorry.
Reasons to still go to the Meadowlands Fair, on through July 8:

One of my favorite West Coast bands, Kickball, is playing in New York this week with French band Clara Clara. You can catch them tonight at the Cake Shop or on the 29th at the Woodser in Williamsburg. Like you’d expect from an Olympia, WA band, Kickball have a bit of a hippie vibe […]

Today is go skateboarding day. Get your ollie-worn sneakers out, lock up your stupid fixed gear bicycle, dust off your stick and find a spot. If you need me I’ll be under the BQE doing rock-to-rocks and tail stalls.

Brooklyn-based art collective Saviour Scraps works with donated and reused fabric to transform gallery and art spaces into fairytale settings. Members have turned a fire escape in the East Village into the castle turret where Rapunzel was locked up and a warehouse in Williamsburg into a cabin in the woods.

This Friday, Saviour Scraps will join […]

So I just heard the whole new Dizzee Rascal album “Maths and English” and I have to say I can hear them sirens coming (= this CD is gonna be played to smithereens in a certain ho’s vehicle). So nevermind the fact you might’ve heard “Sirens” and “Pussyole” already, there’s more. Yes, more.
He brings out […]

Today is both the best and worst day to go to Shake Shack, seeing as the weather is beautiful.
That being said, don’t go do this because we are going to go do this, and Shake Shack is crowded enough as it is! Check out the Shake Shack webcam to figure out when is the best […]

This Wednesday, 23rd May, the UEFA Champions League Final will be played between Serie A’s AC Milan and the Premiership’s Liverpool. If you are into soccer and even if you are not, matches like these are awesome, so find the time to watch. Since the game is being played in Greece you will have to […]

Chelsea art-scene Thursdays are usually pretty posh and snooze-inducing, but this particular one marks alterna-gallery Eyebeam’s first decade in New York. Eyebeam has been innovating the use of space, curation, and promotion to big-up nouveau methods of creation such as bio-art, Internet art, and other stuff geeks get hot on - like making an automatic […]

Here’s a rundown of why fucking around with foreign dudes is the greatest.

They think you’re exotic for being a white chick who grew up in Jersey.
They don’t talk much.
When they do talk, they say things like, “You are the hotness.”
They’re easy. And forward.
They’re only in town for a little while, so you don’t ever […]

The BAMcinématek’s Jenet on Film program continues today with Querelle, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final film before his suicide in 1982.

Fist normally does this but his ass is in the Chi-town so I’m stepping up since half the people that operate this issue are still asleep. Bunch of good stuff coming up in the Apple this weekend despite the shite weather, don’t let that stop you from wiling. I dont know when any of these […]

There are millions of times we’re told not to bring up politics, but this isn’t one of them. The crazy mother fuckers over at Drinking Liberally actually encourage you to bring your best political rants, chug down several pitchers of cheap beer, and get to arguing. To get involved, all you’ve got to do is […]

As the future-great Demitri Martin once quipped, “I think they invented hair gel so you could see assholes coming from a distance.” That being said, do you want to wade through dense Thursday night Bridge and Tunnel crowds full of spiky-haired, XL striped button down shirt wearing dudes and their clown-makeup toting streetwalker fuck buddies? […]

If you grew up in the 80s you remember sweating Marty Mcfly’s sick auto-lacing Nike Airs with the crazed out light-up air pocket. Replica copies have popped up on the eBay just last summer. This perennial phenomenon has now culminated in a petition to coerce Nike into production of the “Air Mcfly,” as it […]
