Brooklyn Farmacy





513 Henry St at Sackett St, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn

Peter Freeman. I never knew him growing up in central Maine but I had heard of him. Been meaning to make it down to his store that has been getting some good press since hearing about it from Meghan Meyers (Solon Maine) a few months back. Best of luck Mr. Freeman! Sounds like you are cooking up some great treats across the river... One of his concoctions (Maple Egg-Cream) just ended up in the best seasonal drinks section of TimeOut New York. Congrats Peter! See you down there soon. Sounds like I can bring my dog too.

Occupy Wall Street.



Q: what do
Drummers, wikileaks, artists, anarcho capitalists, Ron Paul supporters, the green party, the NYCISO.org, goths, anarchists, democrats, independents, tourists from poland, and me all have in common?

A: We all agree that some heads need to roll after the american public was ripped off by wall street led by Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and Larry Summers in 2008. We have been in Zucotti park since early October protesting the criminally lame government response from the Obama Administration. I have personally been down there for only a few days but am completely in solidarity with their basic cause, which is that middle class (and poor, working poor) Americans are not getting a fair shake.

"Labor groups are now praising the Wall Street demonstrators for clarifying a message they say has been theirs all along: that no one on Wall Street has been held accountable for causing the financial crisis, and that cuts to government budgets hurt the lives of working people."

And while many of the city’s larger unions are eager to piggyback on the rising media popularity of the Wall Street protestors, others are more cautious.
“I’m not going down there,” said Greg Floyd, president of the Teamsters Local 237. “I’m looking for permits and I’m looking for an agenda. We want to be supportive, but I need to know what I’m supporting.”

Here are the pictures I have taken hastily with my cell phone so far.

Shit my uncle says on facebook

"I am on some hot chick's lap top that I got drunk with at Chili's and now we are at Day's Inn (Krist I don't even know her name . . .) anyway she's passed out in the bed right now (not much use to me - think I will go through her wallet and see if there is anything worth taking) pretty sure she wont remember me - damn - she's hot - if she starts puking I'm definitely leaving . . ."

My kids brought some ecstasy back from school and wanted me to try it - Woooooo0000OoooooW . . . know I feel like dancing my fucking brains out (and lots of alcohol seems to go quite well with it) guess my living room will have to do (now if only I had a dancing partner - where's that fucking dancing bear!)
