This coming Sunday, the 5th, at noon I’m going to take this placard and sit in front of the Marble Cemetery on East Second Street in the East Village and see what happens. Hear whatever the neighbors and passersby have to say, record their memories of Samantha. I’ll be recording video and/or sound. Come and share your memories. I’ll make a video with whatever I get. Noon to 1:30 or later if things get interesting.
Samantha was rescued and brought here from Wyoming a couple of years ago, she has a damaged wing. The wing seemed to be healing somewhat this past year in the cemetery. She had more mobility than before. Samantha survived the harsh winter weather of 2009/10 in the cemetery.
The rumor I’d like to confirm is that a male raven heard her plaintive calls this past Spring and spirited her away with him. But I’ll listen to any story you have to tell.

I’m fashion impaired, what are they trying to sell here at the Crazy Landlord building?

Sunday afternoon shadows on the buffed Deitch wall.
Monday afternoon – Barry Mcgee aka Twist on the Deitch wall at Houston and Bowery. Written over night. I like it a lot better up close than how it looks from a distance. This is apparently the base layer, more paint to come.
On the scene coverage from The Art Collectors.

Jackhammers woke me this morning. Test pits are being dug, promptly filled in again and covered in asphalt on East Houston Street. Bowery Boogie has the story. Apparently this is just the beginning of a three year traffic and noise ordeal for the stretch between the Bowery and the FDR.

Is this building looking more and more like a dusty crushed beer can?

Yeah, I know, it’s a rat with a fuzzy tail, but rats are pretty cute too if you ignore the naked tail, and it’s not in your kitchen.
