Trash relations


Perhaps challenging for a new business owner to figure out where to dispose of trash... and, when you put it in the wrong place or don't break it down, you will likely hear about it from a neighboring super...

Wait a minute! That's not Alec and Hilaria! And I just paid $50,000 for this!

Georgia on my mind

Yesterday, we posted that photo of the CBGB exterior that crews for the CBGB movie recreated in Savannah, Ga. ...

Our friend Maura Johnston at the Voice had another shot of the exterior yesterday ...

Breaking.

Here we are at Seventh Street and Avenue A... where just moments ago (12:19), a cab and truck collided...

Our man Jose Garcia is at the scene...




Who hit what and first?

Per Jose: "Being hotly debated now. Looks like the delivery truck cut off the taxi. Unless of course it was the other way around."

Chico's plywood reservations


Chico's Kiss mural might be going away outside the former Nice Guy Eddie's...

... but it appears he will be painting the plywood during renovations of the new restaurant opening here on Avenue A and East First Street...

The CBGB Festival starts next week , and you can get free tickets here


The inaugural CBGB Festival starts next Thursday and runs through July 8. More than 300 bands will play at 35 venues in Manhatan and Brooklyn... there are also films and conferences and stuff.

Anyway, the CBGB Festival folks, with a big hat tip to East Village Radio, passed along some free individual full-combo passes to the fest for EV Grieve readers. Gives you access to the film, music and conference panels. You're on your own with the booze and bath salts.

Thanks everyone! We gave them all away.

So we have six individual passes to give away.

In lieu of a contest or telling us about your favorite CBGB bathroom moment ... the first six people who email us can can have them... or at least the info about how you get them.

Oh, and you can use the EV Grieve email here. And it is for ONE pass — good for access to the whole festival. (Not two passes for each person.)

And you must be 21... and plan on actually going and not forgetting about it later...

CBGB lives! (in Savannah)

[via Facebook]

The CBGB biopic starring Alan Rickman as Hilly Kristal is filming in Savannah, Ga., both on Broughton Street (on Paula Deen's block!) where we think the bar's exterior above was created... and in a studio ... the crew replicated the inside of the bar in Savannah's Meddin Studios, where all the interior shots will take place...
