nErD aLeRt!

he did it! rob bundy single-handedly saved the folk art museum!

just kidding, he barely did anything. but hopefully diller scofidio + renfro can fiyux it.

The Museum of Modern Art has commissioned Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) to design its controversial expansion that will overtake the former American Folk Art Museum in New York. This news comes after an intense backlash from prominent architects, preservationists and critics worldwide pressured MoMA to reconsider its decision to raze the iconic, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien-design museum in order to make way for its new expansion.

In response, DS+R has requested that MoMA gives them the “time and latitude to carefully consider the entirety of the site, including the former American Folk Art Museum building, in devising an architectural solution to the inherent challenges of the project,” as stated by Glenn D. Lowry, MoMA’s director, in a memo sent on Thursday to his trustees and staff. He added, “We readily agreed to consider a range of options, and look forward to seeing their results.” (via)

hmmm what? Jon Gruden who? Mike Gundy sounds too much like Rob Bundy. Charlie Strong, never heard of her. Give the job to Corgnelius, the cutest damn corgi on the internet.

always support starla

hey y'all! jic you don't remember, i will formally announce that our very own starla is going to run her second half-marathon in san diago this summer. she's doing so in support of fellow 2Pz correspondent, bun-bun, who's been cancer-free (and fancy free) for 22 months and counting!

starla's fundraising site is up and running, so start your 2012 tax year off right by donating to this ponzi scheme noble cause.

DONATE HERE!

for the right amount of generosity, you might get a 2Pz t-shirt out of it.

costume check!

bun-bun took my advice and dressed up as the (sheet) ghost of steve jobs. i think it came out really well.

i'd like to officially invite all toopz readers to send along photos of their costumes from this weekend and tonight. i'll share them with the internet!

for bun-bun (and justin hunter)

y'all know rachel, right? well, she's trying to disguise drinking as charity, and would like your help. she writes:

In a couple of weeks I am going to Kentucky to run a 200 mile relay and drink bourbon, possibly in tandem. My team, which consists of 11 people you don’t know + me, is participating on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The only way I know to cure kancer is by running and drinking. Because we all itemize, I know you’re looking to tack on some more charitable contributions this year. You probably also want to win points with Bun Bun. So, here is where you can make a generous donation. It’s nothing fancy like a Booze Cruise, but it’s the best I can do.

go on. make a donation, if you believe her. which i dont.

jk, i do. brb donating!!

oh and ps, justin hunter doesn't have kancer or anything. she just loves him a whole lot.

look at rob's school.

exactly what it's like.

ugh! jelly beanz again!!

look who bun-bun's having lunch with right now. and maybe more importantly, where he's having lunch.

unstoppable.

just wanted to tell you about this little tradition bun-bun and i share. whenever we're going to the same place after work, we attempt what we call "subway meet-ups". as i'm typically coming from penn station, and he from chelsea, we often both end up using the 2/3 or the A/C/E lines, but starting at different stations. we coordinate our timing and car selection so that we end up with a together-ride. tonight's is going to be very challenging, here is an excerpt from our planning session:

Rob: train meet up?
me: definitely
i was thinking about it this morning
its going to be a complicated one!
Rob: im more excited about it than is rational
me: maybe the toughest yet
Rob: you arriving to penn?
me: yes
we're gonna need the uptown E
you're only one stop away right?
Rob: yes. ok, where is the best spot on train for the transfer to g?
me: well thats what im concerned about
the best spot for the transfer is the first car
my access point at penn is at the back of the train
and i hardly ever make the walk to the front before the train comes
Rob: and i enter platform at first
same happens to me if im trying to get to back
me: so im worried that i wont be able to get to the front
Rob: what if i ride in the front looking out the front window and ill try to watch for you walking down the platform
if you're not at the front of the train i could always get out and wait for you at 34th st
me: yeah, i like that
i have cell service until i go through the turnstiles

ill tell you "im going in", and you get on the very next E train

and then ill book it to the front
Rob: lets make that our plan. no matter what we'll meet at the first car either in train or on platform
me: perfect
and as always....my train is scheduled to arrive at 6.25
but its usually a bit slow on fridays
of course ill keep you posted the entire way
Rob: let me know when youre njt is coming into the city and ill start shutting down
me: constant updates
Rob: ok

it is going to be just like this:



i'll let you know how it works out, and will also attempt to take pictures.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

after a 4-day poll, america has illustrated what we all already knew:

only slightly more than half of 2Pz readers are willing to tolerate bun-bun's antics.

kAnCeR aLeRt!!

REMINDER: its this thursday! sign up or show up or both!

just wanted to remind you all about a little event coming up called light the night. i know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. this one is really fun, because you get to walk over the brooklyn bridge with flashlight balloons! and it ends in world-famous brooklyn heights, which is where i live. and did i mention tina fey will be hosting the event? tina FEY!

as many of you know, our beloved 2Pz correspondent, bun-bun, was diagnosed with leukemia back in 2007. these days,  thanks to the wonderful care he's received as a result of the research funded by events like this one, he's feeling healthy and doing just great.

this year's new york event takes place on the evening of thursday, october 14th. i encourage all of our readers in the nyc area to join us. i'm not saying it's mandatory, but only because i shouldn't have to. visit rob's team page, and just sign up! then you'll be ripe to receive a few obnoxious emails, within which the tiny amount of information you actually need will be buried.

what's that? you don't live in new york? well, that's just ridiculous. but hopefully, you live in knoxville. this way, you can walk with rob's other team, led by his mom, ellen. she's a real delight, so don't be shy about joining her.

and, obvi, if you can't be there for the walk, go to rob's page anyway, and make it rain a few dollhairs all over kancer's face.

no matter how you choose to proceed, bear in mind that i'll be watching you, and so will tina fey. if you have any questions, ask rob, not me. can't wait to see you all there! k bye!

country music fan.

ive decided to become a fan of laura bell bundy. this is her country music song giddy on up. i have made this decision based upon my new residency in nashville and the feeling that i need a country music figure to support. despite the fact that she shares a last name with a kancer patient i know, i have decided to choose laura bell bun bun because she is basically just getting started, she was in legally blonde in broadway, and she looks like a helluva good time. additionally, her gun shoots boys clothes off.

well wishes for bun-bun

jicydak, 2Pz friend and newly appointed contributor, bun-bun is undergoing his stem cell transplant today. we wish him a speedy recovery, and hope to see him on the roof VERY soon.

feel free to leave your well wishes in the comments, as i know 2Pz will be his first stop as soon as they let him touch a computer again.

LOVE YOU, BUNNERS! GET WELL SOON!!
