Extra, Extra

-- Can you believe they're going to destroy the grand staircase at the Plaza Hotel? Outrageous.
-- Garth is posting 1980s NYC clips to Vimeo-- marvel at how dirty the East Village looks!
-- Babies: they're whats for dinner in Park Slope.
-- From the not-surprising file: "bonecrusher" brand heroin is producing overdoses around the city.
-- Today's clubland crime: A 17-year old Queens girl went out drinking at Don Hill's in Soho on Sunday and ended up getting gang-raped by some Queens high-school classmates.
-- The Board of Ed is attempting to regulate what kids say about each other online: talking smack on MySpace could earn a 10 day suspension. The ACLU is already crying foul.
-- In a blow to anyone who has ever wanted to take their dog out for some nude-sunbathing on Fire Island, Mark DelCore has dropped his federal lawsuit.
-- And some sad news to end the day: another biker was killed today, this time at 9th Avenue and 29th Street by a truck making a right-hand turn. This follows an accident last night at S4th and Roebling in Williamsburg that left a biker "severely injured." Please be careful out there!

Cyclists, Jake! They're called "cyclists." They ride bicycles, not motorbikes. They wear clips on their ankles, not leather all over.

Cyclists, Jake! Cyclists!

Live it. Love it. Cyclists!

I don't ever want to have to talk about this again.

Cyclists.

Oh mamba, don't let him get your goat. He likes it.

As for my family home videos... did I have a freakishly large head or what? Also, there are more where those came from. My sister has started uploading some, including a visit to Mike the Butcher!

that garth, he was always a cutie

the garth videos are AMAZING.

um, why is it that the death of one bicycle messenger and the critical wounding of another are an "extra, extra" item while the deaths of a doctor/cyclist and an aspiring young filmmaker/cyclists a stand alone item? Not to denigrate the tragic loss of the latter, can we respect the fact that all of these people had the same fundamental value? The cyclist who was hit in williamsburg and is in critical condition now is a very old friend of mine. People call him bronx john and he is hilarious. prayers go out to you, john, get well soon.
