1) Saturday 10am-4pm: Some of my buddies and I are having a big stoop sale tomorrow (April 12th) in Greenpoint. There will be tons of stuff for nerds of all variety. Besides just regular ol’ stoop sale stuff like clothes and books and junk, there will be records, comics, art, hand made stuffs, and I’ll be unloading a lot of the jewelry I made last year when that was a thing I did. 10am-4pm.
If there is anything specific from my Esty store that you want, shoot me a message, I can bring it with me. This goes for original comics pages as well. That shit won’t be discounted just because this is a stoop sale though, but you will save on time/shipping!
2) Sunday, 1pm: Gabrielle Bell, MK Reed and I will be showing/talking about how we use NYC in our comics at Housing Works Bookstore as part of the Downtown Literary Festival. Then we’ll be over at McNally Jackson after the panel, selling/signing our books.
3) Right now: The Daily Mail (aka the worst paper that I love to hate-read) ran a bunch of my Greystone Park State Hospital photos (text not mine) yesterday. The best part is the comments section, which has gems like this:
“They need to get it open again asap, there are lots of mad Americans, I should know, I used to be married to a mad American lunatic!!!”
I was gonna copy/paste a few more, but I just love that one so much, I want it to stand on its own in all its linguistic glory. I used to write under the pen name “Penelope Boner,” but I think I’ll switch to “Mad American Lunatic.”
On a more serious note, New Jersey has made plans to tear down Greystone. If you give any fucks about preserving history, and you should, there are a number of ways to help the organization Preserve Greystone.
