Mel Gets Married: I'm Engaged!

From the time that most women are little girls, they start planning (well, more like dreaming) for their wedding days. As cliché and stereotypical as this sounds, we women all know in the cockles of our hearts that this statement is true....read more...

My Health Guru Calley,

Hello, I always seem so down and have no energy. It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning. I have no time (and extra funds), for a gym. Can you recommend a few stretches or exercises that can give me a boost in the morning? Hitting the snooze button just isn’t cutting it.

Cool Rider

Bicycling is all the rage, especially here in Brooklyn. The sales of track bikes alone have probably significantly given this boroughs economy a boost this yet. The benefits of biking are great: it is less expensive than a metrocard, good for the environment and wonderful exercise. However with all this freedom comes responsibilities. As a [...]

Bushwick Beer Garden: Season 2 is Here!

Last week was a tad bit  dreary but the Bushwick Beer Garden has turned that around with the opening of Season 2!
After a groundbreaking Season 1, you might find proprietors Paul Nicholson and Jan VanDamme hard pressed to beat it. That could not be further from the truth! The boys have been hard at work [...]

Burn Bushwick Burn

At least that must be the intentions of the producers of the FX show Rescue Me. Today is the last day of their Bushwick area filming, and the corner outside of my house is ground zero for trailers and craft service. Sightings this morning include a fire truck rigged up to a vehicle with a [...]

Election Night Excitement

I attended the Election Night Results party at the 3rd Ward arts center in Bushwick, BK last night. My good friend Paul Nicholson had his Bust of Sarah Palin on display, so of course I wanted to support. I know this election is a big deal, and honestly has been the first time I ever felt [...]

Vivian Girls Rocked New Bushwick Venue 10/24/08

Todd P. worked his magic and found a way to sneak the Vivian Girls into this great new Venue just hours before their scheduled CMJ performance. 
In addition to a few other opening acts, one lone man took the stage, his name is Barr. I was hooked on him within minutes. His personality is his biggest attribute. He [...]

Erect McCain

LOL. This is too awesome. I was walking on N7th and Bedford in Williamsburg this afternoon while someone was erecting this billboard. I highly doubt Pfizer commissioned this Viagara advertisement of John and Cindy McCain. The couple is all smiles, with the tag line “I wanna be Erected.”
 
Who wants to place bets on how long [...]

Some Gals need a ‘lil Pussy

I can’t imagine my life without my kitten Choizo. I can say that having her around has made me happier than any man. I have always loved cats. Anyone who would hurt a poor Kitty should be shot. I would do anything for a kitt. My last roommate had 3, and as much as I loved them it never occurred to me to get my own. My sister went thru a sad time a few years ago, and that is when she got her Chihuahua Jem. Jem is the love of her life and her best friend. I didn’t even understand how having a little animal of your own could be so wonderful. Now I understand, Chorizo is my baby.
