Things and Stuff

The stoop sale was a great success, thanks for asking. It pretty much ate up our whole weekend, and it's always hard to tell if the proceeds are worth the extraordinarily large amount of time you put into sorting and pricing all the stuff you want to sell – but I always feel compelled to do it. When I was a kid we had similar sales in the driveway in front of our house, and my mom was always hitting up garage sales, rummage sales and thrift stores to fulfill our various material needs – so it just comes naturally to me to try to sell stuff I don't want before making a big trip to the Goodwill donation box. We'll do that too – I'd say we sold about half of the things we set out, and the rest will head for Salvation Army on Atlantic Avenue this week.

All in all, we ended up with enough money to fill our gas tank about twelve times. We met some new people, had some tasty afternoon cocktails on the stoop with Sky and Chad, and got to chat it up with a bunch of friends, neighbors and passersby. My man Eddie from down the block brought us a jar of honey from a Fort Greene beekeeper and told me, "when it's gone, you'll know it's time to come back." Sitting on the stoop was a great way to spend a Sunday on one of our last weekends in New York.

Posting will be fairly light for the next few weeks as we race to wrap things up before the move, but please continue to check in for some random pics, links, records, and what have you.

We Still Got That Meat Lover's Pizza in the Trunk

Just one more plug for our stoop sale tomorrow – we're still adding stuff by the minute and it's going to be a pretty amazing little collection, if I do say so myself.
Magazines...
...and more magazines...

...and books. We've added a bunch more books. Design books, fashion books, history books, other books.

There are also some random VHS tapes for sale...

...and a few copies of the Visionaire "Exquisite Corpse" DVD.

There's actually a lot of random Visionaire stuff. This is a somewhat beat-up but still worthwhile copy of no.15, "Cinderella."

So anyway, I'll leave it at that, a lot of interesting things to be found. Please stop by.

Also,

Keep on Movin'

Here are just a few of the things we're selling this Sunday at our stoop sale in Fort Greene. (This does not even begin to get into the clothing. Anyone who knows my wife Imelda Marcos Nan Kempner Emily knows she is obsessed with fashion.) There will also be some furniture, kitchen stuff, CDs... a little bit of everything. The stoop will be chock full of bargains—and we'll be sipping on sizzurp and playing fast and loose with the till, so everyone wins.

It would not be a stoop sale at 14 Saint Felix Street without a gang of dope records. There will be about 5-6 crates total and most (including those you see here) will only be $2. I believe it was the RZA who once said "We gotta move. We gotta move, baby."

Visionaire 27: Movement (display copy). Designed by J. Abbott Miller, with contributions by Martin Margiela, Peter Saville, Nick Knight, Hussein Chalayan, the Steves (Meisel, Klein), Alexander McQueen, Mario Testino, and the usual gang of characters.

This book would be really cheesy, except for the fact that it was designed by Herb Lubalin, with photographs by Gary Winogrand.

A whole bunch of other books. You must learn.

This vintage film editor. It's way cool-looking but I don't really edit films. I always thought I might make some kind of film strip art project out of it but who has time for such things. You are reading my art project.

All these male fragrances I got for free when I worked at Visionaire. They all smell lovely, but I don't really wear the stuff, for fear of smelling European.

A ton of magazines.

Some packs of old Polaroid film that have been in our freezer for about nine years.

...and much, much more, all priced to move. Stop by and help us finance an epic roadtrip.

Une Sale Histoire

Yep Yep: we're having a stoop sale this coming Sunday, in attempts to make a little scratch and lighten our load before packing and moving across this great land. We have extraordinarily good taste, so grab some cash, stop by and pick up some of our duplicates and extra crud. We might even feed you a Sunday morning michelada or a tallby in a paper bag.
