Two posts from one year ago on EV Grieve...

East 7th Street, 4:50 p.m., March 16



Just wait until tomorrow.

AND:

You've been warned



AKA Amateur Hour.

Tweet and lowdown...the tweet smell of success...tweet dreams...the tweet hereafter....after dark, my tweet...

Heh. Sorry. A just love bad Tweet puns! So. For reasons that aren't entirely clear to me yet, I signed up for a Twitter account, so I can start writing insightful things like, "Meeting Jeremiah for brunch at Chocolate by the Bald Man." Well, not really. Anyway, if you want to get in on the hot 140-character action, here you go!
BoweryBoogie is there too. And maybe a few other people.

Wide load?

At Second Avenue and First Street.

The "Eyes" have it: For five bucks

Back in January we linked to a post the Bowery Boys did on the old NYC howler "The Eyes of Laura Mars" starring Faye Dunaway. A friend of EV Grieve reported that this hammy laugher was in the $5 bin at the Union Square Virgin Megastore... well worth the hours of entertainment the film will provide. Uh, in other words, I bought a copy.

The Condo Fucks

I'm still looking for my 7-inch of "Fuckin' Gary Sandy." Anyway! The backstory of the Condo Fucks:



(Thanks, BrooklynVegan)

Meanwhile, another Condo-Fucky-y band to enjoy....

Friday photo follies (with apologies)

Just passing some time at Nathan's at Coney Island...

Two good bags: At J. Baczynsky's East Village Meat Market

I love everything about J. Baczynsky's East Village Meat Market at 139 Second Ave. near Ninth Street...seen here in this shot taken by EssG (via Flickr).



...including their shopping bags. I treat the bags like a piece of art. While I could recycle them whenever I go visit to the shop, I greedily get another one...




...which is one reason they may have run out of the bags the other day...they were left to use the common "I heart NY" variety...



I was told the bag shortage was only temporary. Still, these things can't be cheap to make.

Bye-bye Burritoville (Jeremiah's Vanishing NY)

We hope the Archdiocese didn't spend any of the $10 million on the new "no parking" sign for St. Brigid's

At Eighth Street and Avenue B.

At home as it is in the tavern

At the all-new Robin Raj at 114 Third Ave. near 14th Street.

How about IM and texting?

East Seventh Street at First Avenue.

A rally at P.S. 64

"East Village activists and preservationists rallied outside the old P.S. 64 Monday afternoon, demanding that the Landmarks Preservation Commission save the neglected turn-of-the-century school from ruin." (The Villager)

A Polaroid from 1982

Blogger Jack Brummet at All This is That today posts a Polaroid that he received in 1982...It's a shot of Keith Haring's mural on Houston and the Bowery....



The photo was affixed to a postcard and mailed to him from San Francisco...the former NYC resident was living in Seattle. You can see the postmark on the bottom left of the photo....
