I never properly introduced Victoria Varney to our readers, who has been working as Managing Editor since October. This girl may be more enthusiastic about Greenpoint than I am! It seemed like the minute we began working together Sandy hit and we got into fundraising and event planning mode and things haven’t calmed down since. Give Victoria a big virtual welcome hug! We are so lucky to have her on board.
Other big news: We are so excited to announce that beginning on January 1, 2013, Greenpointers is taking up residence at Dobbin Project Space (50-52 Dobbin St) – in Greenpoint, obviously! The ink stains on my couch, poor posture and agoraphobia are just some of the few hazards of working from home.
I asked for: storefront space, near McCarren Park, space for events and photo shoot, working with other creative professionals, NOT $5000 per month. The Greenpoint Universe answered – well Stephanie Diamond List did!
Come visit us in the adorable yellow building on Dobbin that used to be a horse stable and now is home to many Greenpoint artists and craftspeople, who I am sure I will introduce you to in the New Year!
Congrats on the new space and welcome Victoria.
PS: agoraphobia is not an irrational fear if it involves times sq.
I agree! I read the wiki on it – and it said it’s fear of panic attacks at places like malls and airports – to me that sounds normal! LOL! thanks for reading!
Definitely been appreciating Victoria’s output.
great to hear! i knew she was a keeper!
I can’t believe how much the Greenpointers has grown in the past year or so! I can’t wait to see what the new year holds!
thanks meghan!
Awesome, site has definitely been going hard lately. Keep it up!
