-- Tired: being homeless in Central Park. Wired: camping out in Central Park.
-- Sad: a stunningly beautiful model was killed last week when her Newark-bound cab got into an accident.
-- Damn, don't you wish you were at the Astoria Pool right now?
-- Brooke Astor's son says the accusations against him are "outright lies", and vows revenge. Did you know he was in the CIA?
-- In unexpected marketing news, ESPO sells out to the New York Times. Here's another shot of the truck.
-- Speaking of selling out, news of Bed Stuy's cultural demise hasn't reached the left coast.
-- This afternoon A jewelry store on Prince and Thompson got robbed at gunpoint, and shots were fired when the crooks were captured a little later in Tribeca. More news as it becomes available!
-- The head of Con Edison thinks that $350 is fair compensation for Astoria blackout victims. Sort of makes you wonder what his son thinks-- he lives in Astoria!
-- and a Publisher's note: My second-cousin Harry is literally inches away from winning the New Yorker caption of the week contest. I think you'll agree his "The hours here are obscene" is clearly the top pick of the group.

We swung by the Zaha Hadid show at the Guggenheim and made this panorama for you!

That campout event was a clusterfuck. The registration was open and "first come, first served" when it opened, then along the way they changed it to an "essay contest" evidently, without letting those who registered know.

Fuck you Parks Department and Backpacker. If I had a dog, I'd let it shit all over the great lawn.

Fuck this!!! I just wanna masterbate in the park in peace! fuck the parks department!

Many people die in car/cab accidents everyday. Why does the stunning beautiful model get to be in the gothamist?

well, its because she was beautiful that it was SAD that she died. if she wasn't beatiful, it wouldnt have been very sad.

What was the model's SAT score?
I think "stunning" came from the NY Post headline, they love it when a "beauty" dies.
At least she wasn't strangled by a pimp, what's going on here, open season on pretty white girls?

$350.00 would certainly more than cover the contents of my refrigerator but not come close to covering my aggravation.

Many people die in cab accidents every day? In NY? That's weird. I'm surprised you don't hear more about that.
