Dear Whovians of the New York Area,
Yesterday, August 16th, 2012, a day which will forever live on in infamy within the hearts of us all, we have been wronged. We need not expound on how grave this matter is. You have all raised your voices in protest and anger but this is not enough.
This is why we propose we take action. On Saturday, August 25, we shall descend upon the Clearview Zigfield Theater in legion, garbed as whatever Doctor Who villain we find most accessible.
Meet at a plaza near the theater at 6th Ave and 59th st (south side of Central Park) at 5 pm wearing your best Doctor Who villan costume. We shall assemble in groups (all Cybermen together, etc.) so as to make this more effective and then march towards and around the theater.
Friends, we are the forgotten, the rejected, the ones left out in the cold. But now, we shall also be the avenged.
Your companions in crime,
http://unclejungle.tumblr.com/ and http://samanthro.tumblr.com/.
LET’S MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Reblog so people can see this, even if you can’t come!!
Just found out Justice is playing in NYC in a few weeks…got so excited…of course I should have realized both nights would be sold out.
Short Film of the Day: “This Is My Home”: A short profile of a New York City curio collector whose home is regularly mistaken for a vintage shop.
I live on the same block as Anthony and every time he is sitting outside, I stop to talk to him and he always ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. He is such a sweet, goodhearted person. And its true, I met him because I thought his apartment was a shop. He just loves seeing and meeting people! New York is such an amazing place to bring people together; I love living here.

The lengths people go to in order to live in New York…my basement room and I are totally envious of this guy right now. Wish these architects would come over and transform this place…
Origami Apartment of the Day: As the old saying goes, when life hands you a 450-square-foot
walk-in coffinstudio apartment in Manhattan, ask architects Michael Chen and Kari Anderson of Normal Projects to design an oversized cabinet capable of transforming the open space into at least 4 full-sized rooms: A bedroom, a guest bedroom, a living room, and an office with built-in library.[thehairpin.]
