At about 1am last night I received a very ‘official’ email in regards to my recent post about The Brooklyn Bartending Academy.
It was all very important and legally binding looking so I am totally a-feared to copy and paste it here considering what Adam at adamdavids.com law firm might do to me. He was totally cc’d and I’m scared even though his website doesn’t work.
But to put it in a nutshell, it was requested that I “redact” the name of the person who sent me the press release because apparently they do not think it was appropriate to give the name of the person who wrote the email. Personally, I find that weird since the person clearly works for the company and isn’t that kind of the point, that people know who to contact? But whatevs, I totally deleted the persons name from the previous post just based on the fact that I was asked to do so with a word that I never heard of before. Yep, I had to look up redact in the dictionary and anyone who allows me a chance to expand my vocab is a-ok in my book.
In addition, it was suggested that I had a some sort of personal vendetta against the person who emailed me the original press release. “in a cursory glance you redacted other’s names, which leaves me to question your true intent.” I went back and looked – a little more than a cursory glance, so I could be sure – but I didn’t see any other name on the email or press release, so I just wanted to clear up that I was not out to get the person who shall not be named.
And thirdly, my personal favorite part is that I’m dissed. I was found to be “morally reprehensible, and indicative of an amateur writer with no real professional integrity.” I think this may be the first time I’ve recognized an oxymoron! Clearly if I am amateur then why would I have any professional integrity? This guy has taught me already so much, I feel like I can get an English degree now!
The funny thing to me is I’m almost wondering if this is truly all some sort of satire. Including this email from some public relations firm rep, cc-ing a lawyer, with a paragraph of legal mumbo-jumbo accompanying an email full of $5 words and awkward legalese. It kind of reminded me of those emails that claim the prince of some third world country has millions he wants to share with me but just needs me send him my bank info for a wire transfer.
Anyway, I removed the name from the previous post just in case it’s a real person and because I imagine if it is a real person they’re ashamed to be affiliated with this ‘venture’.

Did anyone else see a ton of smoke and hear a large blasting noise yesterday evening around 5:15 – 5:20ish outside the Garden? I watched for a second as the fire fighters started to arrive but it was really smokey. I returned around 10pm to rent a vid at Photoplay and Con Ed was there tooling around a manhole cover. Does anyone know anything about this?

Those baby pigeons are driving me crazy.
Every morning at about 6:15am I am subjected to whoever lives upstairs from me pouring water out the window. This has been going on since I moved in and sometimes, I scream like a raving lunatic STOP POURING WATER OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW!!!!! And it will stop for a few days or weeks depending on the fear I instill. But it always starts again and it always makes me want to go on a killing spree.
I’ve started thinking that they pour that water to maybe water plants or clean their window sill from the copious amounts of pigeon shit that I know I have on mine.
And then there are the fucking baby pigeons and their parents. Squealing for food at 6:30am and again at dinnertime. I assume they also have lunch too but thankfully I am at work and don’t have to hear the winged rats chirp incessantly for whatever surely disgusting meal they are begging for.
And then there’s the adult pigeons who are flapping their wings and making deep gruntal coo-ing sounds that sound more like orgasmic moaning. I’m guessing they’re hoping to expand their family.
I hate these fucking birds.

I am very excited to announce that North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition will be manning a benefit bake sale at t.b.d. this Saturday during the Great Greenpoint BBQrawl. All proceeds go towards funding the India Street Mural Project whose artists have been chosen and will start muralizing June 1st.
I will be there with lemon tarts, coconut macaroons, chocolate mascarpone brownies, and baked donations from others so come one, come all and satisfy that sweet tooth, that alcoholic tendency, that burger hunger whilst supporting your local community!
