Local residents seek to limit Tompkins Square Park concerts to one per weekend.
From DNAInfo:
“…but based on recent gripes from neighbors, Community Board 3 passed a resolution this week seeking to scale back the number of concerts held during weekends, requesting the scheduling of shows just one day per weekend, and even moving some to other parks in non-residential areas.”

Still awaiting response from gaming company, Zynga, regarding clean up efforts on their street marketing campaign.
I’ll be reaching out to more representatives at Zynga today.
NYCTheBlog has helped me take the effort to the city, reaching out to the NYC’s Sanitation department.
Meanwhile - I just wanted to thank you EVERYONE so far helping get the word out: BoweryBoogie, NYCTheBlog, NYPress, EVGrieve, CitizenNYC, and others!
Thank you!

East Villager/Actress, Chloe Sevigny, told Bust magazine in May that she had interest in joining the local community board — despite some press, she has yet to submit application. Will she join?
From The Villager:
“The actress, however, still hasn’t applied to Borough President Scott Stringer’s Office to be considered for a board appointment. “We are waiting for the application and we are looking forward to the interview,” said Stringer. (All community board applicants are interviewed and screened by a “blue-ribbon panel” created by Stringer.)”
The Villager will now be published one day later in the week, hitting newsstands and street news boxes on Thursdays, instead of Wednesdays. Subscribers hopefully should receive their Villagers in the mail on Fridays. The change of publication date will allow us to provide more thorough post-election coverage, and also to cover Community Board 3 full board meetings — which were always inconveniently on our deadline nights — in a more thorough and timely manner.
