BKLYN Designs

If you spend any time reading the comments around here, you already know that Brooklyn is stuffed full some of the most creative, smart-mouthed mofos this side of the Atlantic. We're already the bloggiest borough, and fuck it: I'm saying it. I think BK is also the DESIGNERY-iest borough.

This weekend's BKLYN DESIGNS event obvs confirms that.

The event is taking place May 7-9 at St. Ann's Warehouse in DUMBO, and everything there was either made and/or designed in the BK. There are 45 kickass exhibitors, and loads of other cool free shit (bike parking, a shuttle from Borough Hall..even coffee).

Tickets are $15.

(#myfatass will be there on Sat!).

FIPS CARES: Dance Your Ass Off!?

Spring Break Dance Party [Oh Yes We Can]

Look, between Coffee Wars, the bus loads of people who are moving into the nabe after Park Slope was chosen as THEBESTNEIHBORHOODEVEREVEREVER, laser surgery and Small/Cool I need to let off some fucking steam.

Who's with me???

[Every single one of your asses should collectively raise your hands now].

Anyway.

We've decided to take some action and do an impromptu Spring Break Dance PART-AY this Thursday, 4/29 at the Bell House! It's International Dance Day! And we wanna CELEBRATE!

BREEDERS, BALLERS, BR-ALLERS, douchebags, bloggers, boners, beardos, weirdos, hipsters, hippies, coop-tards, heteros, homos, singles, marrieds, olds, creepy dudes...all your asses are invited! We're all gonna get drunk, and get dance-y Daytona Beach style.

Now in case you're wondering WTF happened to the Big Gay Meatup, that shit is still goin on too....but in the front Lounge of the Bell House!

In the back space we're throwing a dance party to end all dance parties. We're gonna party like its 1999...or like we're shooting a Girls Gone Wild video (whichever is more severe).

Tickets are FREE! That's right, btchz...you heard it here first. And to make sure everyone gets nice and lit, we're doing cheap ass drink specials (sex on the beach anyone?) for $5. We even bought those little umbrellas ppl...we don't fool around.

OF COURSE, Robicelli's cupcakes will be in the house (yum).

So yeah, let's party it up! I'm gonna be there, Greg's gonna be there and the whole FIPS crew will be in the house (well, at least the ones that can't come up with a good excuse). Maybe we'll even get some disgruntled Gorilla Coffee employees to come by and stage a protest. It's gonna be OFF THE HIZZY.

So yeah, get your tix here and let's get drunk and dance-y together.

RSVP on Facebook.

BK Bloggers: Where You At?

Wherever you are, get your asses down to the Bell House next Wednesday, April 14 for a badass BK Bloggers Meetup!

Sponsored by 3 of your fave Brooklyn blogs, Brokelyn, Brooklyn Based and FIPS-alicious, we've already got 200+ peeps RSVP'd to this bitch.

We're going to have Blogger Lager drinks specials, as well as some dee-licious food (Lobster rolls from Red Hook Lobster Pound and Robicelli's Cupcakes).

So, if you're a blogger (and you're BK-ish), be there, or be stupid.

TONIGHT: WHERE YOU WATCHING THE MADNESS?

Tonight, wives will get their husbands back, husbands will have to go back to their wives, and people like me will have to remember how to talk about things other than basketball.  Maybe.  It is the end of March Madness, friends.

Now that the vast majority of us embarrassed ourselves pretty hardcore in our March Madness pools (the FIPS pool included), I'm wondering where you all are watching the game.  Despite what my bracket said, I am a crazy Duke fan, and I don't want to be screaming at my television alone in my microscopic living room when I could be embarrassing myself in front of real life FIPSers.

So, if for no other reason than the sheer entertainment value of watching a five-foot girl on heels flipping out at people she doesn't actually know displayed on an inanimate object, where are you all watching the NCAA championship game tonight?  Anyone down with organizing/recommending a meeting spot?  I don't know my Slope sports bars too well, so enlighten me.

Plus, if there are enough people coming out, I'll bake something.  And I am better at that shit than this year's bracketology, swear up and down.

BJU can come, too.
