Nova Speaks
Greetings Urbanites-
Who says things slow down in our cities during the summer? Here are some highlights:
· Coming to a comic store near you are playing cards of Salsa Characters. This list of first editions focuses on some of the men you’ll encounter in the Salsa Universe. Study them like SAT cards, ladies. Your dancing life will improve tremendously when you know how to spot a “Topsy Turvey”, “Predator”, “Romeo Don Juan”, “Have No Rhythm, Don’t Count, Don’t Care”… the list goes on.
· Nova has a Star Wars- Matrix moment at Jimmy Anton’s… I meet Obi-Wan-On2, who shows me how the way to feel the force is to salsa with your eyes closed. Before anyone gets any ideas, only Fred Astaires and Romeo Don Juans can get away with asking a girl to do this. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Then read up on Salsa Characters!
· We learn that city heaven has Cecilware Fe-100s, and city hell has announcements managed by the MTA.
· C-mixto spots a white tiger lurking in the safari of Inwood. Captured on film! Can you spot it?
· I call the return of paperboys.
· Get ready for… end-time, black holes, mutants, aliens… or the status quo. You have until about November 2009.
· Graffiti street art fans should check out a mural in Williamsburg and 2 Dister murals, “I love my hood”. One and two.
· JPLogan submits a sign from Miami that let’s us know Miami knows what’s up.
· Nova and Bianca give thought on some cities with memorable sidewalks: Buenos Aires, DC and Gettysburg.
· Someone made a makeshift map on how to cross 72nd street NYC on a lamppost, illustration of pedestrian getting hit by bus and all.
