Back to the Chillmaster's
Last week, Marty Wombacher visited the legendary home of the Chillmaster on East Third Street in the First Houses. (You can read about that here.) This past Sunday, he returned — with friends. Catch the action here.
Bob Arihood was there too to capture the moment(s). See his photos at Neither More Nor Less.

In other words, no squealing or woo-wooing
Just noting the modified Urban Etiquette Chalkboard Sign outside the newly relocated Momofuku Milk Bar on East 13th Street.

Just put Lady Gaga in the headline and somebody might read it
Crazy Eddie happened by the Best Buy on Union Square a little bit ago... and caught some of the Lady Gaga fans who have been camped out here since Saturday...
...for a chance at an autograph (and maybe a shower?) ...
...during Lady Gaga's in-store appearance here tonight...
DNAinfo has all the particulars on this.

Demolition blues
Nothing to really make you feel any better on such a gloomy Monday... Dave Winer (via Flickr) sends along this shot of the demolition-in-progress today at 35 Cooper Square...
And another slightly closer view...

Today's sign of the apocalypse: Subway opening on Avenue B
I'm afraid it's true. Here at the former Pet Grooming Salon on Avenue B between 13th Street and 14th Street...
...the work permits confirm it.
And this marks the first national fast-food chain to open a location east of First Avenue on Avenue A, B, C or D.

Starting today, you may no longer smoke in Tompkins Square Park
As of today, all public parks, beaches and pedestrian plazas in New York City will be smoke-free, enforced by a $50 fine. If you're having fun while smoking, then you will be fined an additional $25.*
You can read about the ban here at the Daily News. In any event, I know that all of you will abide by this.
[* OK, not really. But jeez.]
Workers reminded not to smoke while demolishing 35 Cooper Square
Meanwhile, EV Grieve correspondent Bobby Williams notes the machine part (jaws of death?) that will gut the remainder of 35 Cooper Square shortly ... now in place in the lot next door...
At 35 Cooper Square: 'Don't mourn ... organize' (and wear black)
As we reported on Friday, there's a funeral for 35 Cooper Square Wednesday evening at 6 ... and here's a newly posted flyer for the event on the 35 Cooper Square plywood...
As the sign says, wear black.

Tonight on Sixth Street: "The Inconvenient Truth Behind 'Waiting for Superman'"
From the EV Grieve inbox...
Film Screening and Discussion — The Inconvenient Truth Behind "Waiting for 'Superman'"
Saturday, May 21 - 7 pm • 6th Street Community Center
636 E. 6th Street (btwn Ave B and Ave C), Manhattan
"Waiting for Superman" created an upheaval in American thinking on public education. But, "Superman"'s fix-all of high stakes standardized testing, privatization and union busting is not the answer for reforming America’s public schools.
"The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman" provides an in-depth look at what "Superman" got wrong. By talking to teachers, parents and education activists, The Grassroots Education Movement exposes the misinformation of "Waiting for Superman" and offers real reform solutions for the future of American public schools.
After the Movie, a Panel Featuring:
Stanley Aronowitz - CUNY Graduate Center, author of Against Schooling: For an Education that Matters
Julie Cavanagh - Director/Public School Teacher
Sam Anderson (unconfirmed) - Black New Yorkers for Educational Excellence
Leo Casey - United Federation of Teachers
Sponsored by: Socialist Party NYC, NYC Organization for a Free Society, NYC Democratic Socialists of America, NYC Solidarity, Manhattan Greens
There is a suggested donation of $3 to $10 for the film, though "no one will be turned away."
Billy Leroy interviews Judgment Day wackos messengers on the Bowery
Billy Leroy of Billy's Antiques sends this clip along...
It does provide a little clarity to what we can expect. And, with that line of questioning, Billy needs a slot on "60 Minutes."
