At Load OUT!, attendees are invited to take home any materials they need for their next creative endeavor, free of charge. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared with bags, rolling carts, tape, and string to make carrying away items easier. Items available at this year's Load OUT! event include:

Nowhere to Run?
I was reminded of this video of "Run and Run" by the Psychedelic Furs circa 1982 thanks to Alex at Flaming Pablum ... where, this week, he posted music videos from a few years back that were filmed around these parts of the city...
Amaran is closing on Avenue B

Movie benefit for MoRUS tomorrow night
From the EV Grieve inbox... there's a movie benefit tomorrow night for the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS), which suffered damages to its basement on Avenue C during Hurricane Sandy....
Who Bombed Judi Bari? chronicles a great, unsolved mystery: who, on May 24, 1990, tried to assassinate one of the most prominent environmental organizers of her day, Judi Bari. Bari, an environmentalist and member of Earth First!, and her eco-cohort Darryl Cherney were car-bombed in Oakland in 1990 while in the middle of a speaking and concert tour promoting Redwood Summer, a campaign against corporate liquidation logging. Despite receiving dozens of death threats, Bari and Cherney were arrested by the FBI and Oakland Police for the incident. The pair went on to sue the authorities for civil rights violations, winning four million dollars, though not before Bari died of cancer seven years after surviving the crippling bombing.
Producer Darryl Cherney and director Mary Liz Thomson will be in attendance. A Q&A will follow the screening.
MoRUS is currently making repairs and will hold its official grand opening on Saturday, December 8th.

[Updated] 6-story apartment building ready to rise from the former Croxley Ales beer garden
We've been waiting for this one... Back in November 2009, we noted that the former beer garden at Croxley Ales was on the market...
A deal was in place for the lot back in March 2011 here on Avenue B near East Second Street. This morning, a tipster points us to the freshly arrived plywood...
Earlier in the year, the city OK'd permits for a six-story apartment building with ground-floor retail space.
Shiming Tam Architects are listed with the DOB.
Updated 3:43
Our tipster passed the site again... and workers put up more signage...

East 12th Street to get shadier
EVG regular Greg Masters notes the arrival of new trees this morning on East 12th Street ... just east of First Avenue...
From the look of it, the truck has a lot more deliveries to make... please let me know if you see a tree go up on your block...

Joey Pepperoni brings his $1 slice to IHOP Way
Well, that Joey Pepperoni $1 sliceria went up quickly at the former AT&T store here on East 14th Street just west of Second Avenue...
And this is the second JPP in the East Village ... with the one opening on First Avenue near East 13th Street in August. And this may be a record for turning over a storefront. One day it was empty, the next day it's a fully functioning pizza place. Not bad considering it usually takes the city about 7 weeks to show up and inspect a hand sink.
Anyway. Game on.
You've been put on notice, Nicoletta!
Haha. Kidding!
But seriously — has anyone tried JPP's? (And if you answer, then I promise to never refer to it again as JPP's.) Was curious how it compared to 2 Bros. or any other $1 or $1.50 slices... Or cardboard?
[Thanks to EVG reader Tony for the tip on the opening]
