It’s been four stressful, hectic and bitter cold months, but our film is finally wrapped and I’m heading off today for a much needed vacation. So there’ll be a bit of a hiatus til the next post… …which I can’t resist at least mentioning now! I just had the incredible opportunity of scouting a children’s…
Scouted an upscale country club today. Honestly couldn’t believe they still have that jar of combs… Look, I know these are technically three positives attributes… …but man do they just come off as three more reminders not to use communal combs. Call me stuck up if you will! -SCOUT
It’s after hours at the amusement park. The rides have all been shut down. Everyone’s gone home. The ticket windows all say “CLOSED.” But why don’t we take a look inside anyway? Because nothing beats an amusement park after hours…
We were renting a Queens public school gym recently for holding and catering… I was busy studying this apparatus (pull up bar?) and having horrible gym class flashbacks, when I noticed a padlock attached to it… Glad to know the NYC public schools schools are still using locks that look like Houdini should be escaping…

The show starts at 6pm (I should be on at 6:30pm), and will be broadcast live on WFMU (91.9FM in NY/90.1 in the Hudson Valley). We’re taping at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre ($5 gets you…

See that wooden partition in the center of the center…
Weehawken Street, located as far west in the Village as you can go, bears the title of Manhattan’s smallest street. I can only assume it also holds one other record… Having the most signs asking people not to pee on it: Literally, there are four signs hung on the block all requesting the same courtesy……
I was driving down Houston the other day when a firetruck raced by, sirens blazing… Nothing unusual about that. But, just as it turned onto Broadway, something caught my eye: was that a dalmatian hanging its head out the window??? Seriously?? I’ve always assumed the firehouse dalmatian was the sort of thing you only find…
Speaking of dogs, a good friend of mine in Florida works with a dog rescue group, and recently wrote to see if I could help with a few dogs that are in desperate need of a new home. I know this is a NY blog, but we’ve got readers all over the place, and after…
