Combining biography and geography, the Brooklynography series attempts to create a portrait of an individual and their environment, depict how public spaces become personal, and highlight the unique communities of Brooklyn, New York.

Last night, the Music Hall of Williamsburg hosted a monumental event: the Wet Hot American Summer 10th Anniversary Celebration Show! For those of you who haven’t seen Wet Hot American Summer, why am I even talking to you? Get your head out of your ass!
This past Friday, June 23rd, Nitehawk Cinema opened in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. On Saturday, June 24th, I went to Nitehawk Cinema for the first time. My life would never be the same.

Remember the summer of 2009? Pheonix’s “Lisztomania” was the anthem of the season, Williamsburg was at the height of an artistic and musical renaissance (enjoyed by hipsters, reviled by everyone else), and a bunch of people made this video, mimicking the classic “Brat Pack” dance scenes of the John Hughes movies that so intensely influenced people of the aforementioned “hipster” generation, that perfectly encapsulated that summer. It was only two years ago, but feels like a decade. It was before rent in Williamsburg rivaled Manhattan prices, while McCarren Park Pool was at its peak, and before Bushwick was the new East Williamsburg (which was, at the time, the new Williamsburg).
