agenda-driven design
a brilliant exhibition and event has been going on at SPRING 3D this month "SPRING and Nicholas Rhodes have partnered to present a group of innovative UK based product designers currently blurring the lines between art and utility with their thought provoking work."
shown above are 2 of our favorites pieces:
'Rupert' - Tissue box concealing secret condom drawer. Designed by Eva Menz.
'Really useful bookcase' - The bookcase doubles as coffin, when the time comes. Lid is stored on the back. Designed by Kenneth Grange.
check out their slide show for more fascinating and innovative work.
small victory for NY pot smokers
the Gothamist reported last week that the NYPD may be scaling back small pot busts - halleluiah! we've been holding smoke-in's around the city for over a year now in protest of NYC's ridiculous waste of money aggressively hunting down small time joint busts - so this is music to our ears!
more info on NYC's (hopefully former) small time pot bust campaign, in the post that started our public smoke-ins - Beware of The Man in the Van. and here are some of our favorite smoke-in photos from the last year...

where to buy fireworks in NY
still have some stuff from last year, so we're not making a run. but as a public service announcement here's a guide to getting the best fireworks around NYC!...
with a car:
the BEST fireworks spot we've ever found (and we've hit dozens) is the Nitro Fireworks Outlet in Maryland. a straight 2 hour drive down the Jersey Turnpike. they have tons of fireworks from small to lots of big stuff, mortars and all and CHEAP prices. check out last years report with directions and tons of photos.
There are closer spots you can find through the Fireworksexpress.com the Connecticut spots sell only small stuff and at Pennsylvania stores the prices can be insanely high (beware of Phantom outlets 4 times as high as Nitro in Md. )
Without a car:
hit Chinatown this week. with the fireworks crackdown the street sellers are hard to find but they're out there. looks near heart of Chinatown on Mott and Canal, and also try the back street of CT and Little Italy, keep an eye out for:
1) a man or woman with a bag who drops it down on the street and sells stuff quickly then closes the bag and moves on
2) someone lurking in a doorway whispering "fireworks" they'll have a couple boxes inside the doorway filled with stuff they're selling
3) some shop owners sell fireworks - look for clandestine looking sales going on in shops behind counters, although they're very suspicious, they are looking to sell so if you play it cool they'll hook you up.

Rosie's collages of Tommy
Rosie O'Donnel's blog is a fun read, a bit campy, but surprisingly honest and candid (with some great photos.) we like it best when she sounds off on celeb gossip. after her years of passion for the Cruseimeister, it's kinda fascinating to check out her latest poetry and collages on Tommy...
