It turned out the man was staying in another apartment in the building at First Avenue and East 13th Street. He was too inebriated to find the right apartment when he got home.
The couple whose apartment the man invaded called 911. But after cops showed up, they thought better of pressing charges.
Now that 7-Eleven has opened their East Village location, the community will be out in full force protesting 7-Eleven’s presence!
BOYCOTT 7-ELEVEN RALLY
THIS SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1-2PM
CORNER OF 11TH STREET / AVENUE A
Why Boycott NYC 7-Elevens? The No 7-Eleven blog lays out the reasons here.
"The guy I bought it from found it late Friday night on East 4th Street and 2nd Avenue on the sidewalk. He is a professional dumpster diver and every week he puts out all his finds at the flea market ... needless to say he sold it to me for a very low price...it's just such a coincidence that after all the bad mouthing I did on Banksy last week and here I am tooling around the flea market and, voilà, a Banksy appears ... Crazy."
We rescued 10 kittens and cats from the euthanasia list (at Animal Care & Control) a few nights ago, and half of them arrived Thursday night! More are set to arrive. THESE KITTIES NEED HOMES!!! We are also pretty desperate for foster homes for cats and kittens. Fostering lasts a week or two, and for every animal we place in a foster home we can take another out of the kill shelter.
Any intel on what that concert was last night around 11:30? I'm on 13th between A and B and it sounded like it was coming from everywhere. Louder than anything I typically hear from Tompkins Square.
"Heard blaring music start at like 1130ish and on for easily 20-30 mins. I heard several other people from other buildings yelling shit at them but the band played on...
"Good music but I was super surprised the cops didn't show up...or if they did it took em a while."
Tomorrow (November 2, 2013) Fourth Arts Block (FABnyc) will host its seventh Load OUT! — a twice yearly "riot" of repurposing and recycling activities. FABnyc will gather gently used materials from arts organizations and other donors throughout the East Village/Lower East Side for this one-of-a-kind extravaganza, taking place at 11 East 3rd Street from 12-3PM.
Load OUT! is specially designed to showcase creative thinking about sustainability and the arts. Artists and art students are welcome to take home any of the costumes, props, and furniture they need for their artistic endeavors, free of charge.
Community members and non-artists can also attend Load OUT! for a small entrance fee of $5 and may take away materials free of charge. Everything remaining will be repurposed or recycled responsibly by GrowNYC, Wearable Collections, The Lower East Side Ecology Center, Film Biz Recycling, and the NYC Department of Sanitation.
Additionally, Load OUT! includes clothing, textile, and e-waste community collections — open and free for everyone 12-3PM. FABnyc will collect e-waste, and GrowNYC
will collect clothing and textiles. A list of accepted donations is available here.
Load OUT! will also feature "Latch/Attach," a growing hook-rug project that turns old t-shirts into yarn, producing a colorful, patchwork made from these up-cycled materials. This activity is designed to engage individuals of all ages in a shared conversation about consumption while creatively making art from recycled materials.
FREE admission for artists/art students
$5 admission for the general public
FREE drop off for e-waste & textile collection by GrowNYC & The Lower East Side Ecology Center
Location: 11 East 3rd Street, between Bowery & 2nd Avenue
