Bring your dead Christmas trees to Tompkins Square Park, or we're mulching the police car
It is Day 2 of the MulchFest in Tompkins Square Park ... until 2 p.m. today ... And we didn't see many many trees piled up left to mulch. So. There may not be much mulching.
Meanwhile, the gardeners have spread the mulch on parts of the Park...
..while others have spread their unwanted pizza...

Per the Post:
A blazing fire in the sexy actress’ Union Square pad was sparked when burning candles left on her bathtub ignited nearby clothes, according to FDNY officials.
The fire in the 12th-floor Broadway home started at about 10 p.m. and took 45 minutes to put out.
“It was candles that maybe caught some clothes that were left near the tub,” said FDNY Chief John Bley.

When you chain your bike to itself on Avenue C
What do we have here on Avenue C between East Seventh Street and East Eighth Street? Well, for some reason, a cyclist locked his/her bike to itself... instead if to something else, which would make it more difficult for someone to steal...
... and a few helpful neighbors left friendly notes offering some advice/warning...
Reads one: "Dumb ass. I could have stole this if I had a car."
Many thanks to EVG reader Kyle for the headline and photos via Twitter.

A 'giddy' Bloomberg's bike-share boast
From the Post today:
A two-wheeled tsunami is about to hit New York — and Mayor Bloomberg couldn’t be more pleased.
A giddy Bloomberg yesterday promised that the perpetually delayed bike-share program would flood the city’s already-packed streets with more bikes than Beijing.
“It’s going to be increased by tens of thousands,” the mayor said of the future bike-share New York on his weekly WOR radio show. “Every city that’s done this, it is phenomenally popular.”

Donged! Penistrator proves that he doesn't need any stupid snow
Just noting some sidewalk work here on East 10th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue where that ugly new renovated building sits... and...
Oh no! A permanent sidewalk penis!
Look for a new sidewalk here soon...

[Updated] Winter's 'Bones'
New video from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion released this week... "Bag of Bones." And the band will be on Letterman tonight...
Speaking of Letterman... here is that clip from last night. I like Dave's reaction at the end... And Spencer's "No. 1 baby!" yell.
