I’m sad. The first restaurant I loved in New York will be closing sometime very soon.
22 years ago Florent opened in the Meat Packing District. This was when the area was mostly meat packing plants and S&M clubs. Today, Florent is in danger of becoming another victim of an insane real estate market in an insane neighborhood.
Florent’s landlord is raising the…
Philadelphia outfit The Roots make good on Leap Day by premiering their newest video. Hot on the heels of Kanye’s Flashing Lights clip, this is the second brooding video in just as many weeks to conclude with a violent act played out off-screen.
Black Thought’s rhymes are as skillful as ever, though he is ending paired couplets with N-bombs at…
A couple Leap Year tidbits to make sure that you’re not still entirely ignorant when the sun sets.
In English speaking countries it is custom that women may only propose marriage on a Leap Year. Careful though, if you turn her down you must compensate the lady with 12 pairs of gloves, at least in Denmark.
On February 29 1504…
Genius-house Yahoo! has compiled a list of stress free careers. Just in case, you know, you’re ready to stop being a crab fisherman or bull fighter in lieu of something more calming.
It’s a whimsical compilation with no acknowledgement that things like MAKING PASTRY or SAVING LIVES IN A HOSPITAL take years of rigorous - and stressful - training.

PHTHRD competitors Kate & Camilla are showing their work this weekend at “31 Under 31: Young Women in Art Photography,” organized by Ladies Lotto and Humble Arts, at at 3rd Ward in Williamsburg. Opening Reception is tomorrow night.
Not the right Max and not the right costume, but the mood is just where you want it to be.

Earlier this week our friends at thehappycorp went under the blade on The Today Show in honor of Bearduary.
Most of the guys couldn’t bring themselves to lose all their hair, resulting in some creative staches and chops.
It seems like guys have finally figured out they can stop going to gyms, drink as much as they want, never shave, and…
This mosaic tile composition technique is in the vein of how our storytellers will create narratives at PHTHRD II. Not exactly the same, but gives you an idea of the direction we’re headed.
Three artists in various storytelling fields will use a certain type of photography to construct large-scale narratives on March 25th.

Because it made kids cry, Warner Bros has decided that Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are needs to be taken back to the drawing board, not only to be re-shot but possibly re-written as well, without Dave Eggers.
Test audiences saw the first cut and declared it too dark and menacing for children; studio executives apparently balked at Jonze’s…
Last night I had dinner at Tasting Room on Elizabeth Street. During dessert a table of four middle-aged adults sat down next to us–three men and a woman. Two of the guys–Roger and Ken–were a couple; the other man, Tony, was married to the woman, Grace. They weren’t toursits; they were having dinner and talking about 9/11.
“It must have…
DNCHRD III competitor ROBOT BLAIR will make your mind 1010100101110010101001010010 tonight at 205 Club on Chrystie. See below. All parties should dispense information in this manner. Over-designed flyers suck.
Tarsem’s The Fall came out in 2006, but no one saw it. Shot in 23 countries and featuring thousands of cast members, the lack of cohesive content may have scared away distributors.

It tells the…
