Sunday night conversation with Erik Bottcher is on for tonight (bonus: basically unrelated picture of Juju and Olani I really like).
Picture I loved that was sent to me by and of block residents Juju (mom) and Olani (daughter).
Our Sunday night conversation with Erik Bottcher is on for tonight at the 507 West 28th Street rooftop at 6:30pm. You can give the doorman my name.
One thing I want to address given a few comments I’ve received in the last few weeks, some of them rather pointed (though still appreciated) about the perceived politicization of this nascent block association: we’re not endorsing anyone for the City Council race and there is no secret angle to anything we do. This entire block association initiative is simply meant to be a celebration of people and life, and I’ll be damned if after a year spent in isolation someone running for City Council challenges me to a free little celebration on a rooftop in the middle of summer in New York City and I turn it down on principle. Principles and ideology have their place, absolutely. But they can’t talk me down after a bad day at work and they didn’t call me once during the worst days of quarantine.
See you tonight.
