things could get real crazy...or not.
question? what do you get when you mix a bowling alley, a stellar music venue, a delicious brasserie, and williamsburg? give up? you get another place for hipsters to drain their bottomless checking accounts!
brooklyn bowl will be opening soon at 61 wythe avenue. in addition to bowling, the spot will also function as a music venue, and serve dishes created by the brotherly duo behind blue ribbon brasserie.
brooklyn bowl prides itself on being a "green" bowling alley; utilizing wind power, cork floors, a re-claimed tire stage, and locally brewed beer. Let hope they also recycled all the posterboard they used to make this sort of lame, bob dylan inspired (?) teaser video.

memphis news
the mayor of memphis, W.W. Herenton, announced that he will resign office today effective July 10. he has decided to focus his energies on fundraising and campaigning to unseat District 9 Congressman Steve Cohen.The 5 term mayor is a very controversial figure in local politics, often accused of enflaming already irritated race relations in the city, and appointing friends and supporters (and mistresses) to cushy government jobs. a special election will now be held within 90 days so voters can choose their new mayor. there are likely to be several candidates, and an outright majority is not required to win. GULP.
also, he is under investigation by a federal grand jury for some suspicious real estate dealings.
also the city is better off without him. please dont vote for him for anything else ever.

wikihow to paint some pimp cornhole boards, pt.4
Chapter Four - Tuesday June 23 + Wednesday June 24
This is it! I was down to the wire to finish these m'effers for the big Wednesday night cornhole grill out / my eleventh going away party. There was a lot of clean-up effort in these two days that you are not going to realize without maximizing these pics to check the deets. Seen below is the blue board right after the Gray innards app:
Looking closely, you can see the Yellow and Gray elements got a little messy under the stencils. Also, the stripes ran a bit under the masking tape, and the blue board had some kind of ghostly giveaway left and south of cornhole. Cleaning up all this mess was pretty time consuming, I spent the better part of each day hunched over with a hobby brush. But, in the end, they came out just perfect!
Heres a pitcher of the yellow board, with inspiration at right:
And finally, the big group demo! Seen here from left to right are Joe, Angeler, Lee, Jwad, Ben, Kyle (throwing), Matt, B-rad, Phil-YF, and my vacated position at the yella board.
All said and done, Kyle and I ran another undefeated evening, shutting down Phil and Joe 21-13, Chavez and Lee 21-10, and Matt and Jwad 21-17. Here's Kyle finta lay more waste. (Joe was manning the chalk board)
So that about wraps 'er up. At the commencement of last evenings events I formally handed these boards over benjametz. He gracefully accepted the position of keeper and primary caretaker, but I made it clear that the boards are to be maintained as public property, accessible to all yall-stars, come one, come all. I'm gonna miss you guys! Love ya mean it.
