Re: “Don't Move to New York”
I lolz at all the people bitching. This city generates more wealth for its inhabitants and the people making it don't bitch about it on the L magazine web. People move here to follow their dreams, some bust, but hardly all. The stories of grandeur travel far and wide and only those whose dreams are lost bitch about it here.
Never stop dreaming.
Re: “The 50 Best Blocks in Brooklyn”
Changes are happening don't know if it's for the best, but one thing I will always have in my memories is growing up there in the 1950s and 1960s where the neighborhood was like a family. But with these changes it will never be the same.
Re: “Pescetarians Are the Fucking Worst”
This is a little unhinged, and Foer is flatly dishonest.
I was curious enough to have a look at that passage in his book. He backs up his claims with reference to an article entitled "Fish welfare: Current issues in aquaculture," in Applied Animal Behaviour Science vol 104.
So I had a look at that article. It pretty much says the opposite of what he represents it as saying. One of the very first things it acknowledges is that many scientists assert that "fish lack essential brain regions or any functional equivalent, making it untenable that they can experience pain and fear."
So for him to assert "you never have to wonder if the fish on your plate had to suffer. It did." on the basis of that article is total BS.

Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: Lacy's Guide to Brooklyn's Underground Sex Parties (Part 2)”
You haven't been on a third date in years, maybe that's because you are cheap and easy, okay scrub that, you probably aren't cheap but you sure sound easy, no guy wants a relationship with an easy girl, thus we will fuck you and move on, i hope you can learn this as it will make future relationships work out better and you won't grow old with no one around you.
Re: “Don't Move to New York”
@Sam. Yeah, I shouldn't have said curriculum, it's, MICA that is, still the same old Master's crap for undergraduate foundation. The painting department for example is a geriatrics ward, Yates is finally gone because of dementia, Barry Nemmit's the chair has been there for for four decades, Middleman longer, Weiss, George Ciscle, Economos, all these people date from the 70's. What I was getting at was younger faculty in terms of marketing the school and younger administrators feel the future is in programs related to gaming, CGI, anime since painting majors are dwindling and kids growing up with 1st person shooters want to get into that. They feel with the souring of the Fine Art world this will be a trend for artists wanting to have a job and not wanting to move to NYC to wait tables to pay off debt. With no movement happening in NY, why come here except for the free food at all the openings, and even that is changing with the nomadic site type openings. You said you were there a few years ago, how many is that and were you tuned into what was going on in terms of recruitment?
Re: “Don't Move to New York”
Anytime Paddy wants to investigate the labor exploitation known as an "internship" by galleries and particularly small film boutiques is fine by me. I lived in S. williamsburg last summer rooming with two people who had internships with the innuendo that the place may hire them. BS, when the word hiring came up they would just say they're not hiring and that they were giving you valuable on the job experience. One of these people had taken out a loan on top of other student debt, just to live Manhattan/Brooklyn.

Re: “Sex, Love, and Brooklyn: How to Put a Condom On with Your Mouth”
This article is fantastic! However, pre-cum is not more potent than cum cum. It may have swimmers in it and it may not, but in my research I have never found that pre-cum has more than a few sperm in it, and those are only thought to be left behind from a recent ejaculation.

Jon Snow may have sworn an oath of celibacy to the Night's Watch.
But his oral adventure on Ygritte P90 X body will be costless, if you read the book.
It's safe to say Jon won't lose his head for giving head.

No way my friend. No connection between Tree of Life and Reygadas' work. Reygadas is telling pure violance. Malick is looking for endless peace in the deepest layer of his soul. Sry.

Re: “Don't Move to New York”
Hilary> Regarding MICA, you're right on most counts except one: the MICA I graduated from a few years ago was not aiming the curriculum toward "anime and manga," and I was an illustration student. A few study abroad in Japan every year, or cite Miyazaki as an inspiration (the same way half of the music industry cites Queen as an inspiration?), but professors and peers actively, openly, and ruthlessly discouraged anyone whose work was too derivative. Character design and concept art was instead geared toward production art/visual development, be it for games or Western animation.
Re: “Are Artists Gentrifying Sunset Park?”
We are the New Jews of Brooklyn, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. A people of many lands and many languages, and one faith. Artists. And as the Jews and Italians and Irish swarmed over the City of Brooklyn more than a century ago and destroyed its old Dutch character, so shall we engulf today the whole of the borough and supplant its pizzerias and pubs and kosher delis with artisanal cafes and art galleries. And we are proud of it. What. "You got a problem with that?"
