A successful Astoria History Night is in the books! 👍

I love science.

Tonight!

Introducing the bar to an ancient document.

I need some voices for part 2. Record on your phone and send me an mp3. A few lines. Directions and lines are here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

hey does anyone i know on here use flipboard?

this actually does say a lot about you sickos

This one's pretty wild!

In ~2018 a friend of a friend was putting together some site with a decent budget (I forget what it was or if it ever became anything tbh) and he told me to put together a roster of ideal writers. There were like 30 names on the list but this is the one I would have nailed.

I do feel like the actual promotional campaign in earnest for Loops will begin more in the spring, when I get Part 2 going, which then would take folks a nice solid 3 hours if they wanna do it all. That's a heftier chunk.

worked til 430 at the bar and got up for an 830 wake up call for a softball tournament go bears

Working my first ever Saturday night overnight at the bar in a few 🤞

👍

How many more beautiful sunny days like this do you have to do Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park?

it is honestly kind of wild when i'm working behind the bar and people are doing "the lady in greenpoint" which includes a stop at the bar but i wrote it all before i actually worked here i just kinda liked writing there and chilling

i will say having spent 10 years in l.a. and now 6 years in nyc, the daylight savings time change does fuck you up way more in nyc

Here’s a photo from Greenpoint.

overcast and gloomy vibes with somewhat decent temps out there this weekend... a nice time to give Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park, a whirl...

A successful Bushwick History Night in the books!

Tonight!

Fifth best part of working at the bar is deciding when it’s noir night 👍

Man, imagine being Jeffrey Epstein. Your entire life has been devoted to obtaining blackmail material for people in positions of power, and then suddenly one of them becomes President of the United States… but then your old friend depression shows up again…

Starting production on Part 2 of Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park, in earnest. First thing I do after writing? Make a scratch track where I do all of the voices. Then I can populate with sound effects and play with all that before I bring in actors.

Do this… or else!!!!!

Hold on hold on you’re telling me the famous rich and famous pervert President Donald Trump who joked openly about the sex trafficking network of his fellow rich pervert Jeffrey Epstein actually *knew* what was going on this whole time…???

Nine Inch Nails for dogs… 63 INCH NAILS!!!!!

The cure for young male American loneliness? Getting together with friends and going on a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge or a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park.

Two days until Greenpoint History Night’s tour begins!!! First up: Bushwick History Night!

Proposing Greenpoint’s The Chair Company bar crawl. The Drift to Connie O’s to The Palace, followed by a drunken shouting match in McGolrick to determine who actually has the worst pillow in town.

They showed the episode of The Chair Company that was filmed in The Palace at The Palace. 👍

Sure but it does rule to be alive right now everything is so weird

Damn, we are truly in a “cold snap.” And gotta say, great job whoever came up with that phrase. Nailed it.

289 copies of MALINKO, a thriller about a newlywed couple on a Route 66 honeymoon who stumble onto a mysterious radio show, sold… but will we ever hit 300???

What’s been wild to me watching football this year is the three-step drops to easily boot it through the end zone. This aspect of the game is so different from growing up, like how every baseball team has a few guys who can throw 100 now.

Greenpoint’s The Drift bar in last week’s episode of The Chair Company 👍

Only $539 more in donations to go until The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge, is officially in the black 👍

This Thursday we take Greenpoint History Night on the road! First installment—Bushwick History Night at Roberta’s, with @davecolon.bsky.social, Vin Stracquadanio, Eli Kichler, and @jessjoseph.bsky.social! Do not miss it!

I do really love the medium of walking audio stories through neighborhoods and parks and don’t quite know yet if this is a “career” or even a “job” but at least it’s extremely fun to create stuff in this way.

I’m going to leave New York City if Zohran does not create a $1,000,000 a year grant for walking audio stories through neighborhoods and parks of NYC.

Here’s a photo from Greenpoint.

Who knows how many ideal days are left to walk part one of LOOPS, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park?

To be sure, @hellgatenyc.com has had our differences with the Cuomo campaign. But when Rich Azzopardi told us this story was Pulitzer material, we took it to heart. As Hell Gate's finance chair, I have signed off on the $75 prize nomination fee. Now we wait. hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

New one 👍

Next week come see me give a presentation on the history of the McKibbkin Lofts, where I used to live, at Roberta’s, where I used to work

"I'm happy to cause him one more little aggravation." hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

One week from today! Bushwick History Night at Roberta’s! With talks by @davecolon.bsky.social, @jessjoseph.bsky.social, Vin Stracquadanio, and Eli Kichler!

Every bar that currently has an Instagram story zooming into the @hellgatenyc.com graphic calling it for Zohran goes on the list of “coolest bars in NYC.”
