Well, “loose stool” (classy!) this is no tube socks and bootleg cds, run-of-the-mill market. Vendors at the Brooklynflea offered everything from gorgeous antiques, delicate and beautiful jewelery, artisanal perfumes, clothes by up-and-coming fashion designers, art, photography, restored bikes, fantastic cupcakes, freshly made waffles . . . it was really an astonishing array and the biggest market NYC has ever seen. Brooklynflea supports over 200 local small business by its very existence, and brings together a neighborhood as a destination. The Market represents the best of what community can be, and when Marty Markowitz and Eric Demby were up there, crowds cheered and the vibe was nothing short of joyful. This is exactly the type of business and community event that should be encouraged. I'm glad that I was there opening day–I had a fantastic time and bought some great stuff. Seventeen thousand people were counted as having entered the market. And that was on a cold, windy day. That more than deserves the presence of an elected official, but I guess we all have our different definitions of what's important, “loose stool”.

I think 1 Main was one of the first condo conversions in the neighborhood. Had a lot of state offices and other middle level businesses. That conversion displaced a lot of middle to low income office workers so people like yourself, “spikelee” could enjoy the ambiance of a laid back neighborhood. Now that you see the hood you bought into slipping away you get all rightous about Walentass building another highrise. Don’t get me wrong, I am as much to blame for the “success” of Dumbo, I just don’t delude myself into thinking I can stop the inevitable.
Speaking of monikers. Are you calling yourself spikelee because you are Spike Lee or are you just another self loathing white person.

Don’t make assumptions about me, stool (does the moniker refer to the diahrea of the mouth?) The high rise won’t be built in front of my condo. I’m at 1 Main and have been here for almost 10 years.

The “problem” was defined by spikelee. Something about the Walentases and their ilk wanting to build a high rise in front of his condo. I was being sarcastic (10 years (lets say)). You on the other hand have offered up a new “problem”. Tell me what your problem is so I can “fix it”. Is it the Iraq war? Racism? too many cars? Are you sad because your HD TV is smaller than your pecker. Reminds me of a joke.

What can a bird do that a man can’t?

Give up?

Eat with his pecker.

from the ps8 auction fundraiser thread

“…Unless you have lived here for more than 10 years (let’s say) you are part of the problem not the solution.”

i call bullshit on this line of thinking. and hearing you chip away at every thing new that goes on in dumbo and a lot of your neighbors who post here is so tiresome.

Actually ?, you prove my point. What exactly are we to do for our community (Dumbo). You seem to be alluding to a “problem”. What is that problem Mr ?. What do we need to do. I never said I was part of the solution. Tell me what the problem is and I’ll get a T shirt that says I’m against it.

shut your pie hole, loose stool. you think you’re part of the solution rather than the problem? if your contributions to dumbo are anything like your posts here on this site, you’re not adding anything worthwhile.

Dear Ms. Kim
I guess I find it peculiar how the swarm of new people need to label where they live as if we’re all in this monumental struggle to survive and flourish as an artist community when really the patient has already died!

One question then, Loose, why are you reading & commenting on a DUMBO excuse me “DUMPO” blog if you have no desire to be a part of that community?

I thought the flea market was great. It can’t be the perfect event for everyone, but maybe in the coming months there will be a bit more dusty dirties (but hopefully no Avon and tube socks) for those who want that.

I had a blast selling my wares, felt encouraged and got a much needed blast of revenue!
