Two Pickets to Twixburg

Free candy bars and Yankee tickets! Truth in shameless advertising!! But seriously, is there a national registry for these types of things I can sign up for? I'd like to put my name on the top of the list. Furniture dudes, you're next.

Teenage Twix

I've proudly kept this an ad-free blog. (That damn owl is so cute.) Callous consumerism and the dark magic of marketers shall not taint the puerile words that plop upon this page. Until today. As I do with all matters of blog-importance, I consulted with my shadow boxer, Chris Gage.

Me: Should i sell-out for free candy bars?
Him: Hell yeah! Fucking Twix are the raddest candy bars. I remember fondly when they first came out -- it was like a debutante's ball in my mouth. And while not as super-awesome as the debut of the Whatchamacallit, a Twix banner will look great on your site.

Thus, in the words of Dennis Crowley: "POW!"



Note to advertisers and other packaged goods whores: Tempt me with free food and I'll blog the shit out of you.

One day I'll use a tripod and better mic to make these more watchable: One Night at Makor on the 92Y Blog.

Opinion: Gawker Clips = dumb, this = genius

Watch: Billyburg Short Film Festival - Michael Showalter is hosting, Japanther is playing, there will be $1 Stellas and probably some short films.

Read: Jami Attenberg on Largehearted Boy and get her book Instant Love

Listen: I never knew that Lee Ving and Dave Mustaine recorded an album together. Ha, awesome.

Advice (via Dodgeball): 1. Hey there, your friend Jennifer D. just shouted out: "Beer pong plus a 2 liter bottle of sake = a very drunk funlap!" (9:48PM) 2. Hey there, your friend Jennifer D. just shouted out: "Never drinking again" (9:50AM)

I wish I had a better excuse for the legless write-up but file this between "had to be there" and "around the corner fudge is made."

Gawker Walker: Midnight Munchies with Famous Fat Dave

UPDATE: Youngna took the photos on the tour but her credit was removed due to Gothamist having a problem with her involvement in the feature. Oxfeld and Lockhart obliged their request. I have no idea why. Sounds crazy, but true.
