    SJP and Matthew Broderick Coming to the Slope???

    Yikes...sorry, Steve Buscemi! Sucks to be you, John Turturro! R'uh r'oh, John Hodgman!

    Looks like we might have some super duper A list celebs comin to the hood and stealin your thunder--at least Gawker seems to think so.

    Rumor has it that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, might be dope in the Slope soon with their adorable little fam-i-LEE.  

    Gawker is guessing that that the Parker-Broderick clan may have been the mysterioso buyers of Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany's gorgeous Prospect Park West mansion last year, and could be moving in any day now with their whole brood.

    Some other interesting scoop: SJP purchased the rights to Park Slope author Amy Sohn's stroller nazi tell-all: Prospect Park West (note to self: buy this book pronto!)

    ZOMG, you guys!!! Let's all chip in and buy them a yearly membership to Park Slope Parents as like a "welcome to the neighborhood" thing!  And then we can throw a "HOORAY FOR THE PARKER-BRODERICKS!" family party at Two Boots!

    Who Gives A Shit: What Are You Doing For July 4th Weekend?

    This is where our asses are going--Long Beach Island, NJ

    We've got another simple question:What are you bitches doing for the July 4th Holiday Weekend?

    That's it.

    We're going "down the shore,"--and yes, I do realize that is a completely retarded abortion of the English language and makes no sense gramatically, but I swear: that's how people say it. 

    Long Beach Island or bust!

    (p.s. so FIPS is probs gonna take a bit of a summer vacay. I will post depending on my boredom level, and/or how much it rains, so maybe not at all...or maybe you won't even notice).

    BLOCK-OFF! 5th Ave [btwn Douglass/St Johns & Sterling] vs. Union St [btwn 6th & 7th]

    Sometimes, my timing’s slightly off. Last Tuesday, I dedicated the Block-Off! to the awesomeness that is cable news…& then over the past seven days, cable news learned the true meaning of “when it rains, it pours” as four celebrities died, giving them all sorts of stories to work with. Oh well. Today marks the fourth anniversary of the day that Spain legalized gay marriage (really, USA?) & this past Sunday was Manhattan’s Gay Pride Parade, so this week, in the spirit of these events, we’ll be infusing the blocks with extreme festiveness! Sorry Brooklyn Gay Pride Parade. You’re so two weeks ago…like I said, that timing thing.

    We’ll be taking the Block-Off! to one of our last blocks on 5th Ave, the block between Douglass/St Johns & Sterling. When we’re done there, it’s on down to Union Street and up to take a look at the block from 6th Ave to 7th. As our two blocks ACT TOTALLY GAY, one will charm us with its fashion sense & get invited to the White House, while the other will charm us with its fashion sense but still remain a second-class citizen. God will apparently hate both blocks, but since Jesus loves everyone, they’ll be at odds & will sit down for an important father-son chat, just like on the Brady Bunch. It’ll be rather touching & in the end, we'll all learn a lot of important lessons. Let the long-overdue, human rightastic but thongalicious judging begin!

    If You Hate The MTA With Ever Fiber of Your Being, Raise Your Hand...

    So, wait?! Does my unlimited monthly Metro card NOT work today because of this stupid fare increase?? You know, the one that took effect as of y-e-s-t-e-r-d-a-y upping fares to $2.25?

    Just for funzies, I'd like to say: FUUUUUUCKKKKK YOOOOOOOU, MTA! If ever there was a prime, motherfucking example of getting something for nothing, it's what you bizzatches keep doing with your rate increases. You get more of our money, and we get more of your bullshit.

    Only in NY...

    (via the Daily News)

    UPDATE: my monthly unlimited card, which is set to expire June 30th DID actually work today despite the rate increase. You MTA bitches are LUCKY.

    One Gloved Run: A Run/Walk Tribute to Michael Jackson

    For those of you who already think our two little mini-posts about MJ are "over the top," buckle your fucking seatbealts and feast your eyes on this!:

    Please join us this Tuesday, June 30at 7:30 p.m.,for a loop around Prospect Park to celebrate the music of Michael Jackson.

    Glittery costumes and/or wigs and makeup are encouraged (some of us will be going with the simple white t-shirt/black pants/blackfedora combo), boomboxes playing the greatest hits will be carried, and when we reach the end of the loop, we will organize a mass Thriller dance.

    Let's do right by MJ and make a spectacle! Don't worry if you're not a runner; we'll take it slow.

    We'll go for drinks afterward, of course, where we'll dance... on the floor... in the round. See you there!

    This Thriller flashmob will be meeting at the PPW & 9th street entrance, and for any one that IS attending, I beg of you to take photos and video.

    Remembering Michael Jackson At The Dram Shop

    As the King of Pop "beat it" yesterday (haha, see what I did there?), I did what any person grieving would do: I went and saw The Proposal at the Pavilion, followed by burgers and beers at The Dram Shop.

    Q: How Much Does It Cost To Get Your Name on the Atlantic/Pacific Subway Hub? A: $4 Millies

    Yep, it's true. U.K. bank Barclays is ponying up the cash to the MTA in order to get their name splashed all over that motherfucking station.

    Sounds like a great deal to me!

    Let's see:

    * worst Target in the U.S? Check!

    * worst Pathmark in the U.S.? Check!

    * dirty/disgusting subway station? Check!

    * angriest AND most incompetent employees at any retail establishment A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E? Yeppers!

    Congrats, Barclays--You should be bankrupt in no time!
