A few hours ago, two people were shot on East 7th Street and Avenue D in the East Village. WABC 7 reports the gunman apparently used a rifle around 8:15 a.m.: "Eyewitness News is told the suspect fled in a blue or green Dodge caravan. It was quickly recovered, and a person was taken into custody at the 7th Precinct on the Lower East Side." However, it's unclear whether the person now is custody is the shooter and what the extent of the two victims' injuries are. Update: The shooting occurred outside a bodega. A 50-year-old was shot many times, while a bullet went through a window at the store and hit a bodega worker. The shooter was the one who turned himself in to the 7th.

We were greeted by their personable staff and lovely people of Mediabistro to celebrate the publication of Dianne Jacob's book, Will Write For Food. Jacob's book is a guide unlike anything we've seen before, encompassing memoir, reveiwing, articles and fiction. Because Housing Works is writing the book on what an urban not-for-profit can do in the city, it was a perfect fit. And the amazing food by chef Betty Deepe came with a great story.

From Revolution Studios, the studio producing Rent, the studio behind classics like Tomcats, the Master of Disguise, and and the upcoming Christmas with the Kranks whose previews make our teeth hurt, a letter to Gothamist about the movie version of Rent being filmed in San Francisco's manmade island:

We saw your recent story on the Gothamist website about the film version of Rent, and we wanted to take the opportunity to clarify a few points that were made.
While you state that Rent is to be filmed in San Francisco, in fact all exterior shots for the film are to be filmed in New York City. The Treasure Island location in San Francisco is where the soundstages and interior sets are to be located.
