Great Wheel Race: 2009
ASIDE FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND IT (multiple park rangers, passersby, matrons giving us faulty directions), the 2nd Annual Great Big Wheel Race this past Saturday, which took place at Central Park’s Great Hill this past Saturday, was mad … Continue reading
F train not all bad
Sometimes, for reasons even our magnificent brains can’t understand, musicians enter a car and play magic. After these guys stopped, passengers clapped.
This is your brain on drugs
Our trip to the Brooklyn Museum–the second largest art museum in the United States–was wildly successful (see below), but the new facade, designed by the firm of Cresson, Cresson, Cresson & Asshole, still vexes us. We don’t know much about … Continue reading
Two more days to see The Amazing Station

Geo, the man with the teeny-weeny guitar at Union Square
In his dog-eat-dog hurry to make a buck, Recharger sometimes forgets to stop and smell the music. The cool thing about Geo is his teeny weeny, um, guitar. Geovanni Suquillo, from Valle de Chillos, Ecuador, lives in Astoria, Queens and … Continue reading
Christmas in September
During his Williamsburg gallery tour yesterday, Recharger did not find Peter Caine’s “Rudolf and Friends” installation, at Jack the Pelican gallery as grotesque as, say, Christmas tourists clogging midtown with Rock Center-fuges and Fifth Avenuiusmsan. The sculpture’s singing voice, however, … Continue reading
