Previous Day :: Next Day

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: People keep asking me about the royal family, like I ever cared. My dad spent most of my childhood muttering, "Come the revolution, they'll be first against the wall." So I had to become more English to satisfy curiosity. When are you coming back to NY, Julie Andrews?

in response to Ragnarok

Peter: heres a few more i found online:

in response to the world\'s largest open prison

Jamie: i agree. i only saw the one with the baloons on tv. it seems fitting in a way the other so totally don't. i suppose in a way the little girl being carried over the wall could symbolise hope for the people of palestine. hope executed in non-violence. the others...

in response to the world\'s largest open prison

Jamie: just goes to show. there's a seedy underside to everything

in response to Ragnarok

elaine: automata, yess. and funfairs, they used to be steam didn't they? i am not against a little overkill in the right context

in response to Road works

elaine: yeah. most of the pictures i have posted on cn have been within a half hour walk of where i live and i see more things to photograph all the time. i do live in an interesting neighbourhood, but still, i am interested in the mundane. nice work on the trick...

in response to Steam Pipe, 5th Ave

Jamie: and what would you use the steam for? maybe it couldbe used to power a tiny automaton blacksmith like the one pictured here, though this seems to me to be overkill.

in response to Road works

Jamie: and that's what citynoise is all about ^_^

in response to Steam Pipe, 5th Ave

elaine: so do you pay to use the steam or what? and what generates it?

in response to Road works

elaine: corker!

in response to Steam Pipe, 5th Ave

Peter: i had to look up ragnarok and i found this: www.pantheon.org/articles/r/ragnarok.html also this (lol): www.ragnarokhorde.com

in response to Ragnarok

Peter: ##"...Some 30 billion pounds of steam every year flow beneath the streets of Manhattan from the Battery to 96th Street. While it is unknown to most New Yorkers, Con Edison's subterranean steam system is the biggest steam district in the world, larger than the next four largest U.S. steam systems...

in response to Road works

Peter: even barbara streisand is calling for bush's impeachment, heh! im not a fan of hers in the least, but i do agree with what shes saying... barbrastreisand.com/statements.html#ifnotnowwhen

elaine: what are they for? why did they build them? i don't know anywhere else that has them

in response to Road works

jack: going to work on the bus

in response to This Little Piggy Part 3

elaine: far as i know the troops are just their to police the extraction of oil for companies such as bush and his family owns

in response to Miscellanous

elaine: i do too, it seems unremittingly frivilous. if he had just done the one with the balloons that would have been better, alone it would have had a little poignancy

in response to the world\'s largest open prison

Peter: im not sure its quite that simple, jack...

in response to Miscellanous

jack: the tyrants brought their hatred for us to the wtc now bush is keeping the war in their land. think about it.

in response to Miscellanous

Peter: this reminds me of all the graf- political, profound and otherwise- that covered the berlin wall... this wall is so similar, in many ways... physically and metaphysically.

in response to the world\'s largest open prison

hool: i would tend to agree with the old man. a clever juxtaposition for banksy to enjoy, a shitty reminder for those whose lives are contained by that wall.

in response to the world\'s largest open prison

Jamie: I saw the Banksy documentary on BBC2 the other night also. Didn't reveal much i didn't lready know about him/his work apart from the stuff he put up on the security wall in Palestine. I thought that was pretty interesting. But to answer your question, yes the Policeman Kiss can be...

Peter: I walked past where that "greenpoint" mural was this past weekend... and its been buffed. oh well.

Peter: could someone PLEASE get some flicks of his newish stuff and put em on here?!

in response to JA: A True NYC King

Peter: and another: theyre steam vents... theres a huge (and ancient, hah) network of steam-pipes/tunnels in nyc's infrastructure. whenever ConEd or some other utility group goes in to do work, they often have to avert/redirect/vent off the excess steam so they can get access to (or bypass) whatever it is theyre working...

in response to Road works

elliexx: i recently saw a program late on at night which opened my eyes to wonders of this artist: Banksy. His work is very inspiring and he takes art onto a whole new level for example opening a gallery that had rats crawling around the floor and the room was in...

in response to Banksy et al

indykid: Can someone from NY please explain what these stripy "steam tubes" are actually for. I'm from the UK, but I remember seeing loads of these things when I visited NY a few years back. Is it something to do with Subway ventilation?
