Warning!!! This post is all about Brooklyn stuff. Last weekend I went to the new weekend flea market, Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene. It was packed by the way with lots of vendors like Amy who I know from Ladies Who Launch. Afterward, I met up with a friend to have a few pints at the Brooklyn Inn on Hoyt Street. Oh, and lately I have been reading Brooklyn Based to find out what’s going on. By the way, there will be a Grand Street Block Party on May 17.

Stopped by the Sk-rt.com party and met some lovely people including Sk*rt founders Laura, Laurie and Gabrielle. I also met Liz, Mir, and Maria who said I was one of the first blogs she linked to back in the day. It is nice to meet other people who have juggle more than one blog.

So the kind people at Blurb gave us “skirts”a gift certificate towards creating one Blurb book. Now I have a fun project for April/May. Sweet!

Before eating a delicious croque-monsieur at Lucky Strike, I went to a book party in Soho for photographer Lisa Kereszi’s book, Fantasies.  It was a crazy crowded at the party which was held in a Soho loft.  There was one gray haired man walking around eating a bowl of cereal. I think that’s his “party schtick”. Other people tie knots out of cherry stems.

A sombrero is no Easter bonnet, but it is what I spotted yesterday in my neighborhood.
