Breaking: EV Grieve did not win the Mega Millions
Of course, we never even bought any tickets. Still, you never know. The winning tickets for the $640-million jackpot were from Maryland, Kansas and Illinois. (Just think: $640 million is roughly 3 percent of Mayor Bloomberg's $22 billion net worth!)
In any event, we did enjoy some of the homemade signs with updates during the Mega-Millions frenzy
And, here on Second Street and Avenue A, the Penistrator, or a clever imitator, did this last week...

And, to telegraph it...
No Powerball jokes, please.

Does your son have what it takes to play Kristen Wiig's son?
As we noted yesterday, Ben Stiller's remake of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is filming around here next week. The movie co-stars Kristen Wiig. There are flyers up in Tompkins Square Parks seeking boys. (These signs always seem creepy.)
Per the sign, Wiig's character's son Rich "is good-natured, a native New Yorker and loves to skate."
"Must be able to skateboard. Tricks like Ollies and kickflips a plus."

From the EV Grieve inbox... a warning from a reader about a Living Social deal... in which 1,164 people have purchased tickets for this on Sunday afternoon...

This spring, grab a basket fit for a grown-up and join in an epic egg hunt for adults: Pay $30 for one ticket to the Scavenger Egg Hunt in the East Village (regularly $60). Arrive decked out in a costume (for extra points) at SideBAR at noon on April 1 to enjoy two complimentary drinks and some appetizers during team registration. Once the three-hour hunt begins, you'll hop through the East Village and surrounding areas, while solving riddles, answering trivia questions, and deciphering picture challenges to clues as to where the eggs and Easter bunny are hidden — not to mention a few golden eggs containing gift certificates. Enjoy drink specials at neighborhood bars along the way, and conclude the journey with an after-party at a secret location.

And now, seven years later, here's 219 First Avenue!
Woo! Yesterday, EV Grieve reader evilnyc passed along photos of 219 First Avenue, the rehabbed and taller building at the northwest corner of 13th Street. Last month, workers dropped the construction netting and stuff to reveal the new-look building. Yesterday, the plywood came down at the retail space. So we can now see the whole thing as a developer wanted us to.
And here's a quick look inside the retail space...
The retail listing is chain baiting... so you might expect something chainy here...
Anyway, this space has been boarded up/under construction since roughly 2005... and because someone will mention this, the ground floor here once housed the Mee Noodle Shop, a favorite spot for Allen Ginsburg...
