Armin to Get You Hammered: Bungalow 8 Doorman Is Opening His Own Joint

Armin to Get You Hammered: Bungalow 8 Doorman Is Opening His Own Joint : From the New York Observer

Those who have been waking up and night-shivering and sweating, possessed of one thought: Where in the world is irrepressible Bungalow 8 doorman Armin Amiri?—can rest easy.

“I’m shooting a movie with the Weinstein brothers called Crossing Over,” said Mr. Amiri, reached by phone on April 10. Oh, but there’s more: “I’m opening my own place on Jane Street and the West Side Highway. It’s a Cuban lounge in the style of 1940’s speakeasy.” The ground floor, he said, will be a “1930’s-style peasant café,” for all those million-dollar peasants that now populate the meatpacking district.

“It’s called Socialista!” said Mr. Amiri with gusto, adding soberly: “I believe in a healthy balance of capitalism and a socialism.”

Mr. Amiri is not aiming to recreate the exclusivity of Amy Sacco’s Bungalow 8, where he worked the door for five years. “I just want it to be really, really down low and quiet,” he said of the new place.

But the doors of Socialista, which is scheduled to open mid-May, will definitely be shut to one person: onetime “It” boy Fabian Basabe, currently suing Mr. Amiri after the doorman allegedly slapped him on June last year.

“Fabian is absolutely not allowed,” Mr. Amiri said.

Today's Office Humor

Some young woman in this office just came by desk and she asks Meredith (a co-worker). "Sooo you went to Boston this weekend. Isn't that South of us. (notice I used a period not a question mark)"
I interjected with .. "Are you serious? You really have no idea where Boston is!
Then I quizzed her asking her where DC was she said, "umm in Virginia, I mean I know you have to go through Jersey to get there." and I said, "Ok, then what geographical direction is that in from here, North, South, East or West?"
She says..."Ummmm West." Are you fucking kidding me. Her excuse was, "I'm from Florida" I said, "That is NO excuse." You should know basic geography.
This chic is employed?
A fucking JOKE.
And friend this is my anecdote for the day.

:Press Release:
Cutting edge cultural dialogue - Acclaimed British Muslim artist teams up with Arts Council England in groundbreaking US "Arts and Islam" tour

Mohammed Ali's unique fusion of aerosol art with Islamic calligraphy has taken an urban art form from street walls to galleries and spiritual art into new dimensions. His art has been reported as a "bridge of understanding" between faith communities across the world, and has been featured in international media ranging from CNN and the BBC to Al Jazeera. He has showcased his work across the UK, Dubai and Denmark and is looking forward to his first visit to the USA.

The tour is supported by Arts Council England, the national development agency for the arts in England. The Philips Academy, Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), along with other cosponsors are hosting the Arts & Islam USA Tour featuring the acclaimed "urban Islamic" artist, Mohammed Ali of AerosolArabic. The Arts and Islam team will be visiting universities, arts organisations and community bodies across Chicago, New York, New Jersey and Boston.

In addition to the seminars, Mohammed Ali will be producing a series of commissioned spiritual murals, including a special mural in New York City commemorating the tragic death of 9 Bronx children who died in a blaze recently. Working with young people from all faith backgrounds, Mohammed will create wall murals reflecting the universal themes of spirituality and unity that connect people of all backgrounds and cultures. Mohammed has already produced a series of stunning murals across the UK which can be seen at the official Arts and Islam website http://www.artsandislam.com/murals

"The goal of this tour is to elucidate Islamic themes and messages through a medium which can universally be understood and appreciated by all. Mohammad Ali's work transcends artificial barriers such as ethnicity, nationality, class, and perceived religious differences which prevent us from understanding one another" said Azeem Khan, ICNA's Assistant Secretary General.

The schedule for the Arts and Islam USA programme is as follows:

Chicago: April 11th - 14th

Kwik-E-Mart

7-11 stores are going to be refurbished as Kwik-E-Marts to coincide with the Simpsons movie:

If all goes as planned, the convenience store chain plans to refit 11 stores across the U.S. -- Richmond is an unlikely choice -- to resemble the front of the Kwik-E-Mart, the convenience store that Homer and other characters frequent in the classic cartoon TV series.

Customers also will be able to buy products inspired by the nearly two-decades-old show, including KrustyO's cereal, Buzz Cola and iced Squishees (the cup says Squishee, but the contents will be Slurpee).

The chain also will use pictures of Simpsons characters to promote 7-Eleven's line of fresh foods, such as placing the face of Homer and his classic "Mmmm . . . sandwich" quip on sandwich wrappers.

The History of Passover : To be Celebrated on April 2 & 3rd

The Passover Seder:
It is traditions for a Jewish family to gather on the first night of Passover for a special dinner called a Seder meaning “order” This dinner is to fulfill the Biblical dictum of “You should tell your child on that day.” Which is understood to be an obligation of retelling the story of the Exodus on the night of Passover.

The History of Passover:
Passover commemorates the Exodus and freedom of the Israelites from ancient Egypt. As described in the Book of Exodus, Passover marks the "birth" of the Children of Israel who become the Jewish nation, as the Jews' ancestors were freed from being slaves of Pharaoh and allowed to become followers of God instead.

The two names for the holiday are a coalescence of two related celebrations. The name Passover (Pesakh, meaning "skipping" or passing over) derives from the night of the Tenth Plague, when the Angel of Death saw the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts of the houses of Israel and "skipped over" them and did not kill their firstborn. The meal of the Passover Seder commemorates this event. The name Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag Ha'Matsot) refers to the weeklong period when leaven has been removed, and unleavened bread or matzo ("flatbread") is eaten.

Together with Sukkot ("Tabernacles") and Shavuot ("Pentecost"), Passover is one of the three pilgrim festivals (Shloshet Ha'Regalim) during which the entire Jewish populace made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, at the time when the Temple in Jerusalem was standing.


The Seder Plate
The Passover Seder Plate (ke'ara) is a special plate containing six symbolic foods used during the Passover Seder. Each of the six items arranged on the plate have special significance to the retelling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The seventh symbolic item used during the meal—a stack of three matzo—is placed on its own plate on the Seder table.

The six items on the Seder Plate are:

* Maror; A Type of bitter herb, symbolizing the bitterness and harshness of the slavery which the Jews endured in Ancient Egypt. For maror, many people use freshly grated horseradish or whole horseradish root. The horseradish may be eaten in fulfillment of the mitzvah of eating bitter herbs during the Seder.
* Charoset; A sweet, brown, pebbly mixture, representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt. Typically apples, honey and nuts.
* Karpas; A vegetable other than bitter herbs, such as celery or cooked potato, which is dipped into salt water (Ashkenazi custom), vinegar (Sephardic custom) or charoset (older custom, still common amongst Yemenite Jews) at the beginning of the Seder.
* Z'roa; A roasted shank bone, symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and was then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.
* Beitzah; A roasted egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and was then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.
