-- Queens residents, we're so sorry but your subway service is screwed again for today's commute home
-- Eric Bogosian's royalties from Under Siege 2 must have run out: he's joining the cast of Law & Order CI.
-- NoWorth? NoMad? No way-- a friend of ours lived on 26th and even the super was a crackhead.
-- Joel Siegel on Clerks II: "It was so foul and mean and repulsive. I finally realized I could not say anything positive ... I wasn't ready for this kind of smut ... I hope he doesn't make any more movies."
-- The NYPD fired 616 shots in 2005, up an astounding 75%. Hopefully their aim is improving.
-- Amy has put together a NYC Hotel pool list-- but loungechairs at the Gansevoort will set you back $570.
-- Neue Galerie says "nein, und abermals nein!" to the $50 Klimt ticket plan.
-- Mr. Christie Brinkley's mistress was also dating a 19-year old surfer! And "Yes, there was overlapping."
-- MTA will pay for Viagra but not birth control. Related: Rate of unwanted token booth babies is five times the national average.
-- HuffPo wants to raise $5m dollars-- apparently the plan is to paper their SoHo loft in $100 bills!
-- Don't f-ck with a Park Slope mommy, because Park Slope mommies don't play.

Some guy passed out (or something that required the paramedics to be called in) at the Roosevelt Avenue station at a little after 5pm, so all the E&F trains got backed up for about an hour just in time for rush hour. I have no idea why they didn't just run the backed up trains on the normal E&F track sooner instead of making everyone sweat on the platform or be squeezed on the train forever.
Way to go ConEdison and MTA.
Please tell me the best way to invite you nice folks at Gothamist to come up and see Mae and enjoy a "Cos-MAE-politan" and much more at Village in August 2006?
The FREE 15 Day Exhibition "Onstage Outlaws" [August 18-31, 2006] will debut with a press preview.

You may want to know about the largest restaurant worker justice project in NY history.
Over 100 of us are working to encourage our former/current employer FIREMAN HOSPITALITY GROUP to stop illegal activity. This includes claims of racial discrimination, sexual harassment, withholding owed overtime pay to immigrant workers and management stealing tips daily.
Two federal lawsuits have been filed. Two law firms are working pro-bono. The NY Times, Village Voice, Fox News 5 and Channel 9 NYC are covering the story.
Anyone can make a difference in one minute by adding their name to “People pledged to stand for justice”. Anyone can be counted. We are collecting 2000. It means a lot to the campaign.
