G.

A friend of mine sent along this "casting call" for a Brooklyn Beach Club show to me and I really just can't stop reading it.

"There's gonna be friggin' partying, friggin' drinking, and friggin' dancing -- all friggin' summer. Fugheddaboudit!

So if you tan before going to the beach, if every meal starts and ends with garlic, and you're looking to have the best summer of your life, send us an email at brooklynbeachcasting@gmail.com"

If every meal starts AND ends with garlic?? What does that even mean?

It Happened One Weekend in Park Slope [COFFEE WARS, REALITY TV AND WE WON!]

Ok, has this been the most epic weekend in Park Slope history or what??

Save for that fucking plane crashing into Seventh Ave in 1960, I can't think of another time during which harsh realities have been birthed, worlds have collided and BREEDERS-N-BALLERS have come together in such Earth shattering pandemonius mayhem. It almost feels like an episode of Lost (except I'm just a teensy bit less confused).

So yeah: let me recap as best I can:
