EVG readers spotted these today… Daniel Root found the above on East Seventh Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square … and Allen Semanco saw this one below on St. Mark's Place and First Avenue…
Makes sense. SantaCon is over, so might as well toss the ol' Christmas tree…

Wait! I recognize those trees! They are the creative followers of FIGMENT NYC jumping to their deaths now knowing their fearless leader lied for days about FIGMENT NYC having any involvement with organizing Santacon. It's just like Jones Town!!!
Apartments now empty and they've gone back home to mommy and daddy to get more funds for next year's merriment in the jolly ol' East Village. Golly!
I WILL NEVER WIN THIS.
Pretty sure "tossing out the tree before Christmas" is a euphemism.
I hope these poor trees were recycled into some more appreciative apartment. Yes to Anon. 11:06.
The tree just wouldn't listen.
If you want to see an example of Orwellian nightmare language in action, go to the Figment NYC website. Every one in the media who uses "community organizer" to describe someone, should be forced to justify that background (what precisely does that overused phrase mean?). It has the ring of righteous justification (which is the intended purpose of its delusional use). Figment NYC also uses the description "participatory art"--again the ring of democracy. How can one be against such people? The recent media interviews and reports on SantaCon (and the con job of Figment NYC and Norman Siegel) are indeed frightening in the--to put it simply--effort to pull the wool over people's eyes. I hope that in the coming year someone manages to pull the mask off the phony "community organizers" and exposes the reality behind this "invasion" of community life.
Yes! Grieve, you gorgeous darling! You! You are the first to connect the dots. The corrupt connection between FIGMENT & SantaCon & ITTSS is exposed -- and you have the evidence, tossed for all to see. All these years we have been searching through alleyways and gin mills of Rego Park for the larcenous lair of that arch criminal mastermind Macdougal. Now we have this new clue: the nefarious Gruber is probably hiding out, in disguise as a Drunken Santa, on Governor’s Island, taking backhanders from FIGMENT.
This, Grieve, is Pulitzer Prize material. I doff my hat to you.
Fuck Gruber.
Their self aggrandizing statements about saving the New York art scene are a bit much. Dressing up like a dragon and playing miniature golf is not art nor any scene I'd ever want to be part of. Maybe this kind of thing is cool and edgy in Minnesota but in New York City, not so much.
