wishing everyone in the affected cities a speedy return of power. stay cool.
Hopefully, it will be just a big pain in the butt and a source of some weird stories.
everyone in the east village is rather calm. it is hot but as long as i can take periodic cool showers -- it's fine.
hmm, this has been going on for a few hours now. kinda sad :/
All the more reason to have that radio and flashlight with batteries on hand. And a jar of peanut butter.
Be safe, kids.
how are you all posting with no electricity? you guys are magicians! i retreated to the NJ 'burbs where everything works for some reason.
I'm traveling - not in NY. Might have to drive from Chicago back to NY. We'll see!
damn- i'm glad i moved the gothamist corporate hq to LA for a few weeks- we are up and running as usual while our friends at gawker are scrambling for a generator!
Actually, Gothamist Corporate's HQs have been operating out of Tampa and Chicago as well as LA. But I wish was there, in a way, although I'd be passed out drunk in order to numb the heat by now.
Great photo!
We set up a public moblog for this at textamerica, called (yes this is very creative) "The Blackout" at http://blackout.textamerica.com and there have been over 70 comments posted since 4:00 PM today (pacific) when we put the page online. Lots of attention. I used to live in Manhattan and truly hope people are OK through this.
just shows how dependent we are on a little thing called e-lectricity!!
