“Brooklynography: Matt & Allison Robicelli” Plays at the New York Food Film Fest

This past Saturday Brooklynography history was made: one of our videos was screened in front of a sold-out theater as part of the New York Food Film Festival! I was immensely proud and honored to be part of the event and to see something I created play on the big screen, and owe a mountain of thanks to all the people who made it possible like…. Matt & Allison Robicelli (of course!), NYFFF festival director George Motz, NYFFF executive producer Seth Unger, my friends and crew – shooter Zack Akers & sound recordist Kenny Lewis – and my colleagues/friends/post-production angels at Crew Cuts – title designer Ian Glaum and mixer Nick Montgomery.

After my film screened I went up to say a few words and got a little nervous and forgot to say most of the stuff I wanted to say, so there it all is. Of course no one who attended the festival will be reading this anyway, because I completely failed to mention that Brooklynography is a website. D’oh.

Sandwiches… Sandwiches are a lot like cupcakes. They’re something you can hold in your hand, and take everything that you want on the subway.

The Great… GoogaMooga

Have you heard about The Great GoogaMooga? It’s an outdoor food and music festival coming to Prospect Park this spring, and I’m hoping that it’s about as awesome as its name is stupid. And since the name is very stupid, hopefully it will be very awesome.

The event is free, but you must register online beforehand to eventually receive an e-ticket to the event. Early registration is already closed, so if you haven’t gone on their website and signed up to get signed up to register for the event, I recommend you do so, post-haste! [Register here.]

Head’s Up: 61 Local & Steve’s Ice Cream Beer Social

Beer and ice cream finally unite in what could be a perfect if not somewhat unholy marriage this weekend at Boerum/Cobble Hill spot 61 Local, in what Steve’s Craft Ice Cream is presenting as a “Pint Mash-Up”.

According to the Steve’s Ice Cream official blog, Saturday, August 13th promises to be an ice cream and beer extravaganza, featuring the debut of their new beer-inspired flavors and much much more.
