OH NO!
It’s a Birthday Bonanza on Saturday. Rory’s birthday is the 30th, Liz’s is the 2nd. Mine’s the 1st. My myspace bday thing showed me all kinds of people that I like a lot who have birthdays right around the same time. Way.To.Go. we really pulled it off.
Anyways, there’s this party. and it’s gonna be tight. bring food for grillin, booze for drinkin, and weird things, whatever’s weird. but dont bring a bunch of friends. no one needs em. seriously. same drill as ever at the peach pit: party party party, get out fast and go to enids.
Lastly, thank you to Hally and Matt for a monster of a flyer. Matt’s like king-shit-of-designing-tons-of-things-really-well-in-a-short-period-of-time-mountain. Back in the day Hally wanted to paint a portrait of me and I asked her to paint a mural sized-grandiose as hell-painting of me sitting naked on a throne surrounded by tons of hot naked black chicks and my dick’s massive, splits and becomes 2 cobras that are hissing at each other above my head. 4 years later I get this flyer with lazers, orgies and cheeseburger. My heart is weeping joy. See you in the pit

Wburg/GPT Bike lanes and Safety
Just received this from Mike:
Hey guys,
I recently attended a transportation committee meeting for Community Board 1, which encompasses Greenpoint and Williamsburg. The meeting mostly talked about truck traffic, but a few of the improvements in the neighborhood’s bicycle infrastructure were mentioned. I guess myself and the three other people in attendance expressed enough interest in these improvements that the chairperson, Teresa Toro, decided to devote an entire meeting to them. The following email is forwarded from Teresa with information on the meeting in June. This is an incredible opportunity to voice your opinion on bicycle lanes, bicycle parking, bicycle safety, bicycle racks on the front of buses…..anything and everything.
If you have any interest in cycling in the city, now is your chance to meet the people who are implementing changes to the bicycle infrastructure. After the meeting we should all go out and grab a beer and talk about how we stuck it to the man with all of our “hard hitting questions”, not unlike those asked by Ellen or Barbara Walters.
Spread the word… Forward this email to anyone you know who rides a bike, thinks about riding, is scared to ride, hates to ride, or likes going to community board transportation committee meetings.
| Please save Wednesday, June 18 at 6:30pm for a special CB1 transportation committee meeting. We’re hosting NYC DOT reps, including staffers from the DOT Bike Program, who will talk about DOT’s various projects within CB1: bike parking, bike lanes, and more.
Location will be in Northside, Williamsburg.
