Cops Called to Franny's on Friday Night

Some crazy shit went down at Franny's on Friday night, according to tipster who got the details from a waitress on Saturday night:

A woman walked in and sat at the bar. She had a hook for a hand. She started screaming and banging her hook on the bar, saying she would shed blood if she couldn't have a Chilean red. She also threw something at the chef [in the open kitchen]. 

Was anybody there on Friday to witness this bizarro scene??

Park Slope Craigslist Blotter

Pet adoption has been coming up a lot in my life lately.  Also it's something very dear to me since my sweet prince B-man was a rescue. I miss you Buddy! We shy away from the Craigslist post involving them because it's sad, bro. And there are so many it would flood the Blotter if we did it every week.  I don't even know if we can help. We're going to try though. So here are some of the best pet posts on Craigslist this week.

ADOPT: Gizmo – Black and White Cookie Cat

You can feed this Gizmo after midnight but he'll probably be peacefully sleeping in your bed. He doesn't have AIDS and loves other cats. That's good because if you have one cat you should really get him a buddy. Most of them are much happier that way.

ADOPT: Patsy –Chill Cat

What's shaking? Apparently it's Patsy. She was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. L She's doing fine now that she's on medicine though. She was a street rescue but she loves people! Cuddle this cat. She's got half a mustache too.

We love this feature, and need submissions to bring it back!

And take a peek at this past example so you know what info to send along!

Happy window peeping.

WHASSUP: Throw Down Edition

Not to be confused with Solange, this week is a melange of culture, booze, and utter violence—each element balancing the next. You'll get some time under the stars, dance a bit, and veg out after a long day's work.

Enjoy yourselves, people. We only walk this walk once as far as I know, so it's high time you live it up in this 'hood we call home. It's about to get hot as fuck outside and I suggest you factor that in to your leisure management. Read a book in the park, go for a jog, find a bar with a great backyard, and revel in this pseudo-Spring because, like most everything else, it will not last forever.

So, my good people, WHASSUP? This is WHASSUP:

Thursday, 6/12, People Under the Stairs, Littlefield: These guys are pioneers in the indie hip hop movement. I am decidedly not cool enough to attend, but I’m hoping that you understand underground hip hop and will be ready to throw down. Word of advice: leave the “Roger Rabbit” and “Cabbage Patch” at home.  $17-$20, 8pm doors, 9pm show

Friday, 6/13, Shakespeare at Sunset: King Lear, Brooklyn Bridge Park: This event is calling your name. It’s an evening of free theatre under the stars and features a play by  the bard, himself. Yeah, reading Shakespeare in High School was boring as shit, but with good actors to breath life into the time-honored text, the play will be electrifying. FREE, 7pm

Saturday, 6/14, Brooklyn Boxing: Provonikov vs. Algieri, Barclay Center: I don’t condone violence, but if two dudes want to serve up a beat down on their own accord I’m not going to stand in their way. In truth I’ve never been to a boxing match. The closest I’ve come was cheering on Macho Man Randy Savage whilst I was an impressionable youth. Close enough. tickets from $30, 7pm
