That Cadillac that we've long admired on East 2nd St. now has a stuffed tiger on the front seat

Happy holidays, etc.

Merry Christmas from Iggy Pop

Former Avenue B resident Iggy Pop unveiled his 2013 Christmas message on Monday. Suitably strange.

Merry Christmas Eve afternoon!

Discarded today on St. Mark's Place at Second Avenue… plenty of life left in this one in case you need a tree or a second one…

Tonight is the 13th annual 'I Hate Christmas Party' at Casey Rubber Stamps

Time again for this annual event at Casey Rubber Stamps, one of our favorite stores around... hosted by the legendary John Casey... perhaps you can expect some holy spirits and Veniero's cheesecake like last year.

Thanks to EVG reader That One Day for the flyer...



Here's a little more on the shop via WNYC...

The walls of his narrow shop — which doubles as his workshop — on 11th Street in Manhattan are lined with myriad stamps ranging from whales to peas-in-a-pod, spider webs, shells, guns, teeth, the Manhattan skyline and even that most fearsome creature: the bed bug. About half his business comes from selling pre-made stamps that range from $3 to $15. The other half is custom designs that customers request or bring in.

Rubber stamping is a simple technology that dates back about 150 years — and to judge from the operation at this tiny store, it really hasn't changed that much.

The shop is at 322 E. 11th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
