Cellular Biking

In touch. Essex and Houston Streets.

Movie Invasion

Looking up Avenue B from Houston Street, yesterday. Note the big white location trucks on the right.
It was some elaborate indoor location shoot, maybe for a movie. It seems like a lot of equipment for TV. Who knows, I’ve seen Law & Order shoots with as many trucks. They come in, take over neighborhoods, and make themselves at home.
I’m guessing that whatever permits they must obtain to take over a street like this, requires a public right-of-way. You can’t hang-out, but if you keep moving, it’s like a studio-tour diorama. You get to see all sorts of equipment, and get glared at by Teamsters. As many of these invasions as I’ve seen, I almost never see celebrities.

Garden Parade

One man parade. This guy was walking up Avenue B yesterday morning, looking either to join up with or escape from the Earth Celebrations garden parade. I felt for him, having subjected myself to such abuse in the past. But it was pretty funny to watch.

…Or was it hug babies and drop bombs? 1st Street near Bowery.
Empty lot on the corner of 1st Street and Bowery. You can usually find large pasted-paper works from this crew on the 1st Street between Bowery and 2nd Ave. I suspect that NYU will eventually get around to filling this space with students, like they have everywhere else.
