Special Events Mutts Rule! Pure Breeds Suck! Yeah!
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 4:19 PM
I've already talked about why I'm not a fan of fetishizing pure dog breeds, so I don't really have to tell you that I love mutts. Which is why I'll be heading to tomorrow's Brooklyn Mutt Show, at the Brooklyn Lyceum. Because we are all mutts—except for Nazis and banjo players. [That would be my mutt, below, about to attack a caravan of pioneer tabbies.]

Special Events Happy National Pig Day!
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 5:03 PM
As Ben tells us over at Listicles, it's National Pig Day (those sure are some smart pigs, Ben!), and by way of wishing you all a happy National Pig Day (and no, it's not National Pork Day, so put down the bacon), I thought I'd post this adorable video of a pig named Fiona, frolicking about in her happy new home at the idyllic Farm Sanctuary in upstate New York. Hooray for pigs! (And baby goats in coats!)

Special Events It Was Mardi Gras So We Had a Fun Party with Wavves at Brooklyn Bowl
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 1:23 PM
Despite the wet, stupid snow (jk, i still love you, snow) we actually had a Mardi Gras Parade last night in Williamsburg (sponsored by Southern Comfort), that led revelers to a big old Mardi Gras party at Brooklyn Bowl, featuring Wavves and MNDR. Masks were worn, beads were thrown, fun was had. Photo evidence after the jump, along with a report from L Mag cub reporter Lauren "The Columbus Kid" Beck.

Special Events Enjoy These Photos of the Time We Invaded the Personal Space of an L Mag Contest Winner
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 4:53 PM
Soooo... Some of you may remember our Best Bodega in NYC Contest. I know I do (professionally, I've been required to remember it). The winner of this contest was On the Corner in Windsor Terrace, thanks to the heartfelt write-up by Ryan McManus. Well, as promised, Ryan received a week's supply of beer (from On the Corner, of course) hand-delivered to his boudoir. Truly, an awkward situation for all involved! Photo evidence of just that, after the jump:

Special Events It's Dogs! PLAYING POKER! (for charity)
Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 2:01 PM
Really, I'll do anything to post this image, even if it means giving you the head's up about a charity casino night on Sunday at Unleash in Greenpoint, to benefit Dog Habitat Rescue. It's at 4pm this Sunday, 216 Franklin St. Five bucks gets you food, poker, craps and the chance to lose all your money for a good cause. Because helping animals doesn't have to be totally crazy.

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 1:39 PM
Well, we did pretty good this year, getting work done all the way up to [checks watch] 1:30pm! This is kind of a record for productivity when it comes to the day of the office Holiday Party. But that's it. Good night. That beer is not going to drink itself (and we mustn't anger Santa). This is pretty much the scene:

Special Events Tonight: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog vs. Cancer
Posted by Lauren Beck on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 6:17 PM
Tonight, Robert Smigel, aka Triumph the Comic Insult Dog, the insult-flinging puppet made famous by his skits on Conan O’Brien joins John Oliver (British dude on The Daily Show), Caroline Rhea (Sabrina the Teenage Witch, holla!), Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords), Todd Barry (monotone delivery), Eddie Brill (lots of Letterman appearances) and musical guest A Brief View of the Hudson for an evening at Comix with a good cause. Tickets may be a bit pricey ($30 plus two item minimum), but it’ll get you free beer from Brooklyn Brewery at the afterparty as well as raffle tickets for prizes donated by The Colbert Report and The Onion, plus things like an autographed script of FOX’s The Family Guy, a gift bag from Sub Pop Records, tickets to Comix, and more. Not too shabby at all.
