The Giants win the pennant!



In East River Park earlier this summer. One of the many photos that I never did anything with... The kids asked to have their photo taken. They said the Giants were the best.

Summer loving...



Another photo from East River Park this summer ...

Still more Howl!

There's some Howl! left this month. Check out the East Village Howler for more.

Rumormongering: Copper Building film festival

A fairly credible source told me that some EV thrillseekers have been showing films on the white sheets that covered parts of the under-construction Copper Building on 13th Street and Avenue B. Not sure on all the logistics about how this happened exactly, but when pressed, I was assured that this happened several times over the summer. Would have liked to have known then, so I could have joined them...




Meanwhile. Progress! Those sheets are coming down at the Copper.

My blue Manhattan



When you see the new window display that went up yesterday at the Morrison Hotel Gallery on the Bowery, you'll figure someone is having a little fun with all of us...






A gallery worker told a tourist out front that this was simply "the artist's statement," and that she did not know what it meant. Uh-huh.

And, if you don't know already, the artist is Ryan Adams.
