Can’t say there was anything interesting done this weekend in the ‘hood. I didn’t have tickets to the Sonic Youth concert at McCarren Pool and may the hipsters strike me dead, but I’ve never really been a fan of them.

Why your support matters
having a bed isn’t really necessary to have bed bugs. they curl up and sleep for months in floorboards and anywhere really. what are they doing in your building to get rid of them? if they don’t take care of it fast enough, maybe you could get a rent reduction or something
i had bed bugs a few years ago on norman ave. it really really freaked me out. like panic attack freak out. but it helped to realize that all they do is suck blood. they’re basically mosquitoes who live inside. without any chance of having west nile.
anyway, i hope i didn’t make anything worse by talking about the bedbugs. good luck!
Thankfully (knocking on wood) I don’t seem to actually have bedbugs. At least I don’t seem or feel them and I do check regularly out of sheer paranoia.
