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.
People get ready
We get press releases!
I recently came across your blog and can see that you have a large following in the New York City area. Because of this, I wanted to reach out to you about a new campaign aimed at educating New Yorkers about how to prepare for emergencies.
September is National Preparedness Month, and in order to encourage New Yorkers to prepare for disasters the New York City Office of Emergency Management, the American Red Cross in Greater New York and the Ad Council have launched a new public service advertising campaign called Ready New York.
The campaign asks individuals to get prepared by taking three simple steps:
1) Get an emergency supply kit.
2) Make a family emergency plan.
3) Be information about the different types of emergencies that could occur and the best responses to them.
It is important to engage your readers and all New Yorkers in becoming better prepared for emergencies in their homes, business and schools.
Toward that end, we encourage you to write about Ready New York on your site and share the following “easy-to-use” social networking tools in your post:

Not to mention Dennis Franz through the years
Just in time for the new fall TV season, reportedly. Thanks to the EV Grieve reader who came across this mashup of the "NYPD Blue" intro...which covers all 129 seasons. Past and present NYC icons include the Mars Bar, Leshko's, the Tower of Toys and the DKNY mural...
