This weekend: Dinosaurs

Holly — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:21:00 +0000

Come on down to Barometer, a jewelry and object boutique in Chinatown, and relive the days when dinosaurs ruled the earth!
Jenna and Anna are putting on a fun arts & crafts show that celebrate the myth and mystique of the dino. Also, recession-friendly free drinks and food courtesy of Whole Foods, as well as an aural tribute to Marc Bolan. I’m contributing a haphazardly-screenprinted LIMITED EDITION poster that you can buy there—further proof of the ongoing 801a recession sale!

Midtown Report: A tree grows on 40th Street

Holly — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 05:13:03 +0000

When I’m not roaming the streets of DUMBO, I’m wandering the elevator banks of the New York Times. On Thursday, the indoor tree garden installation began. Below, photos of the imported trees. More on Gawker.

Today on Jay Street

Holly — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:01:29 +0000

Renda, Andy and I took a field trip to Pedro’s for lunch. Renda ate a tamale. Andy ate rice and beans and beef. I ate a Cuban sandwich.

After lunch, we passed the J condo, which was briefly being considered as the future headquarters of 801a. Main features include private bathrooms, a gym, and room for a couch.

Andy and I picked up some coffee at Coffee Box, which is located downstairs from ReBar. Renda doesn’t drink coffee, so she didn’t get anything.

After coffee, we passed a film crew shooting a movie called “The Code” on Jay Street. A large crowd gathered. Andy says he saw someone push Morgan Freeman into a car. I didn’t see this for myself. I am thinking of stealing some food from the catering wagon in a couple of hours.

Hi Holly!

In this photograph, Andrew Sloat is seen posing with brownies. In his other hand, he holds a photograph in which he’s seen posing with life-size recycling bins. He is happy, so happy. This is his special place.
