Oliver Gets Stoop'd

So Spike Lee collab'd with Absolut on a new flavored vodka, Absolut Brooklyn. Have you seen this shit?

True confessions: I've yet to taste it, but the bottle itself looks pretty damn cool. It's supposedly a nod to the stoop where Lee grew up. "Harkening back to the decades-long notion that the stoop is truly the epicenter of creativity, culture and community, the bottle serves as an homage to that Brooklyn ideal of stoop life--where memories are made and ideas are sparked through conversation and camraderie."

Ok, I don't know about all that, cause my ass doesn't have a stoop. But we live in a neighborhood with a shitload of stoops and I often walk by and get all jel of the people sitting on them. And weirdly, Oliver often tries to walk up and sit on other people's stoops. So all this talk about stoops got me thinking: LET'S TAKE SOME PICS OF OLIVER ON STOOPS! YAY STOOPS! YAY OLIVER! YAY BROOKLYN!

WANNA BLOG HARD? OR JUST SEE ME MAKE AN ASS OF MYSELF?

If you've read this blog for more than 38 seconds, you already know full well that I have NO FUCKING CLUE what I'm talking about half three-quarters seven-eighths of the time. I have opinions on everything....and everyone....and E-V-E-R-Y TV show, but other than that, I figured out most of this blogging bullshit as I've gone alone.

But the one thing  I *do* always try to do, is Blog Hard.

Which is why I'm sort of stoked to be on a panel during Internet Week like this one: Blog Hard: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly of Online Publishing.

It's hosted by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, and will be going down on Thursday, June 10 at 9am.

Happy Birthday Brooklyn Based!

Yo, so our internet BFF's Brooklyn Based is turning 3 years old this Saturday! That's like 78 in www years!

In celebration of their special birfday, they've planned a whole big day of fun in Greenpoint with The Total Franklin Street Immersion! 20 different bars, shops and restaurants all along Franklin are gonna be offering your ass all sorts of serious deals on all sorts of cool stuff.

Like old school Foursquare, you can even keep track of your travels on a specially designed TSFI card. Holla!

Best of all, there is birthday, fun-filled, after party from 6-8pm at t.b.d. The grill will be fired up in the back, and Robicelli's cupcakes will be there with FREE cupcakes (and yes, of course they are designing a special "brooklyn" flavor in celebration). And, duh, the whole BB team will be on hand to toast with (or hold your hair back as you vomit in the bathroom)...you know, whichever comes first.

Now, true story: the G train is not running this weekend, so you might be thinking "this all sounds like fun but how the fuck am I supposed to get to Greenpoint??" Well, there's a shuttle, ppl! OR, just buy a bike at the bike jumble and ride your ass over there! Trust me: it's worth it!

So yeah, Happy Birthday Brooklyn Based!

We love your asses long time.
