to be fair, last weekend was the superbowl of hardcore, which features lots of punk and hardcore bands. not the typical studio b crowd of hipsters who are too high on whatever to realize where they are. i doubt studio b will be booking bands like that very often, if ever again.

Who cares? It's only Greenpoint. Shouldn't those residents be worrying more about the oil spill they live on top of?

To be fair to who? These whiners? "the spectacle"?? Give me a freakin break.

HAMMERSKINS! SHARPS! OBAMA..WHERE YOU AT?

1:15pm:

my point is that this is not studio b's typical crowd and they rarely even host shows during the afternoon. i doubt many fights break out at shows/dj nights they have, but the superbowl of hardcore obviously attracts a much different crowd than a normal show. i'm saying its more of an anomaly from a typical studio b show and that the neighbors will now exploit that incident to try to stop studio b from doing the rooftop thing.

that greenpoint blog is retarded.

u know what this is...
this is yet another example
of the over pussification of
new york city.
oh people are loud, and drunk, and using
drugs, and getting into fights.
oh my, what is one to do???
motherfucker its nyc!!
this aint kansas
where the hell did u think
u were moving to? fucking transplants!!

now i must say i understand where this comes, being a native new yorker who grew up in the 80's south bronx was no cake walk, and its true
sometimes that shit sucks...
but come on!!
those hipster jerks that usually attend studio b shows arent bothering nobody
until some skinny jean wearing, smelly asshole decides to do a drive by on messerole, and kill an innocent bystander this is just some
pussy ass complaints.
311
ha!

Oh man... Studio B is on their list. They are done...
Anytime a community hates a place this much... their days are numbered. I say they will be gone by the time their liquor license needs renewal.

Listen, you book a show at your club for the kind of people who would piss on their sister for fun, what do you expect?

I'm a Greenpointer, and I'm happy to have Studio B. Now, I might feel different if I lived right next to it, but what can one expect when he chooses to live at the industrial fringe of a neighborhood. Move to the suburbs, or at least a more residential neighborhood, if you want quiet.

While they may be in violation of starting construction without a permit (I see an official Complaint has been filed with the DOB today), I'm not sure if CB1 has any say over prohibiting them to change their CO for Roof occupancy. They'll pay a fine, get the permits, and move on.

However, it may draw a lot of 311 calls for noise.

Yeah! I mean, who would ever equate "quiet" with "industrial fringe"? Idiots! Stop complaining and get used to more assholes shouting on your block at 4 a.m.!

@ 2:15

Totally! I can't wait until new york is a shit storm again. Where's the son of the son of sam?

He should be here soon. New Great Depression? NY Times reporting that Police levels are at their lowest since 1990 due to budget cut backs.

shit, New York is going to be cool again before you konw it!

Can't wait until the housing slump catches up to all the new condos they're putting up in brooklyn. Tons of burnt out luxury spots to squat in!

I can almost smell the sweet smell of piss and rum that awaits us on every corner in the glorious future that will be the new old NYC

^shut up. your sarcasim is just annoying.

be careful what you wish for, 3:37

I was at the Superbowl of Hardcore. It was amazing. Ahh how i miss the old days of NYC where skinhead fights were the norm and you losers had to actually go up to someone and open your trap instead of posting anonymously on a blog. Suprisingly you did not hear as much bullshit talk as you do now.

anon 3:37pm..your story has becoming tiresome and bourgeois

While I agree that the club should be doing more to control the situation outside (eg: disperse the crowds outside, etc.) at the end of the day people will still complain. eg: Club Exit usually has people who disperse crowds away from the club, but all that does is make people go over to the next corner and/or spread out around the neighborhood. And guess what? Yup, people still bitch & moan. In a way that's probably worse than just keeping people contained in front of the club.

Personally I'd just choose not to live next/near a club, but to each his own. (I used to live above a bar, & guess what..it sucked! So I moved.)

Actually 1:12,Might want to click on the link I provided, ye Olde Williamsburg is actually proving to be more toxic then Greenpoint. Just keep believing what the developers don't want you to hear...

Is it possible to even take that blog seriously when they also post this???:

^^Isn't that the sun dress that Ben Kweller sang about?

sounds like "cmon say it to my face" needs the Superbowl of Hugs

I was at the Superbowl of Hardcore and Daft Punk was amazing.

too bad MIA didn't get the video of daft punk getting there ass kicked in front of studio b by the cops and then finding out that they stole matthew dears HD

what time does MIA record a video of you being brutalized by the police?

i wish every day was the Superbowl of Hardcore

the original purpose of the newyorkshitty blog was to document where Heather found dog poop in Greenpoint:
