An update on a prior posting to this plog

Received an eMail from the owner of the Metro Card Bike referenced in a prior posting and he pointed me towards this NYT article that I thought you might find interesting: (see June 2007)

Big City: The MetroCard Is the Medium, With No Particular Message By SUSAN DOMINUS

A New York City office worker has become a small-scale celebrity on wheels because of his elaborate artistic creations using old Metrocards.

My Flickr set of this years Mermaid Parade is almost finished (still needs some editing & additional uploads) but if you want to see more of his creations point yourselves here:

He has an extensive collection - just follow the links from my photo that he has listed as a favorite....

International Pillow Fight Day - NYC 2008

#NYC-Pillow Fight 2008

Noticed a gathering of mostly young colorful people carrying pillows and big stuffed bunnies in Union Square March 22nd. They were congregated around the station entrance across from Whole Foods near the Washington statue. After making some inquiries I learned that a big pillow fight was about to kick off at 3pm sharp. Stayed for about 45 minutes of what can only be described as your typical only in NYC mad crazy fun event. As it turns out this is an international event.
