Tomorrow night is that Mizz Greenpoint thing at East Coast Aliens. I am curious to see just how bad it is, but I think I’ll instead save my $20 for something more useful. – Brooklyn Glamour
Like maybe I’ll take three friends with me to the totally awesome 2nd Annual UnFancy Food Show on Sunday 6/29 (It’s only a $5 donation!). Me and the sister are absolutely checking it out. And I’m ridiculously excited they’re having my SixPoint there. – Brooklyn Based
The Domino Sugar sign is staying put. The “revisions — approved yesterday by the Landmarks Preservation Commission — have found a spot for it atop the roof of the refinery building it’s preserving that will be flanked by new towers.” That rocks. – Metro
The 126 perv might’ve touched girls “as young as 11 years old”! I forgot that 126 changed from being 7th through 9th grade to being 6th through 8th… That one year can make a big difference maturity-wise. Eleven year old girls are BABIES! The article also mentions that “The DA’s office will also look into possible criminal charges against Williams.” Good. – WCBStv.com
Speaking of crime, the Brooklyn Paper thinks they’re mighty witty with their crime in Greenpoint “Gunpoint” Brooklyn report. Come on, you’re scaring the hobbit hipsters. – Brooklyn Paper & Williamsburg Is Dead

The Triple Five Soul and Vespa tenants have finally moved in to 33 Nassau Ave. Rumor has it they’re trying to court a supermarket for the ground level. Can anyone say Trader Joes and two buck chucks? Ok, that’s probably just a wet dream but ya never know… – Brownstoner
Regina Spektor is coming to McCarren Pool August 15th and a huge ass music shopping experience will be at Warsaw on Sunday. – Brooklyn Vegan

The Greenpoint Star has a story on all that new fangled cycling stuff going on in the hood. Like bike lanes, racks and parking areas. – Greenpoint Star
The Diamond Bar gets the Critical Review treatment. “Besides amazing beer, and a beautiful bar they have a killer jukebox.” Sounds like two thumbs up to me. – Critical Reviews
Ever see those cool blue rectangle things on the chain link fence over the Pulaski Bridge and wonder who’s doing them? Now you know. – Scully New York
Not one, but two pretty little Greenpoint postcards on the ‘Bay this week. Lorimer Street view from 1913 and Eastern LI Hosptial (Anyone know where this was? Is this the old Greenpoint Hospital?) – eBay
This Sunday marked Jelly NYC’s inaugural pool party. Though I found the rain hardly a deterrent being the Northwesterner that I am, the storm kept the hordes of fair weather pool partiers at bay. The Hold Steady headlined to the delight of rows of wet devotees while the pool party regulars stuck to the dodge ball courts and the slip-n-slide. Most noteworthy was the fact that the beer selection has grown and now includes Bud Light (for those watching the waist line). Though I thought the Hold Steady gave a particularly unmemorable performance, J.Roddy and The Business an opening act from Baltimore, knocked my socks off! They were like Metallica meets Lynard Skynard but with much better hair!
