Barges and breweries: Sofar Sounds hosts secret concerts in B’klyn’s most unique locations By Scott Enman Greenpoint Gazette
From the top of a ski jump in Norway to the highest floor of the Willis Tower in Chicago, concert series Sofar Sounds is redefining live music events with secret performances in offbeat locations. What started as a group of friends hosting parties in their living rooms in London has grown into an international following with events in more than 350 cities. Sofar’s intimate gigs are held in both residential and commercial settings, and Brooklyn’s unique urban makeup of waterfront warehouses, factories and industrial buildings provides extravagant, unconventional venues for the gatherings.

Frustrated with issues plaguing larger events — like deafening music and disruptive crowds on their cellphones — founder Rafe Offer set out to change the stigma surrounding concerts. “A big component of Sofar is discovering artists, but the other component is discovering places and discovering the city a little bit better,” Sofar New York City Director Stephanie Mitchell told the Greenpoint Gazette. “These are spaces that people often don’t think they’re going to experience music in, and we really love to celebrate those moments where we’re able to work in really unique spaces.” The series started in London in 2009, and began regularly hosting events in New York in 2011. Reminiscent of the rave scene where attendees don’t receive the party’s location until shortly before it begins, Sofar uses a similar model to keep their parties underground. Continued on page 4

Study: Williamsburg, Bushwick had the most alcohol-related emergency room visits By Scott Enman Greenpoint Gazette
Advertisements for beer, wine and liquor will no longer be permitted on city property as a result of an executive order signed by Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday, and two North Brooklyn neighborhoods may stand to
benefit the most from the new policy. Williamsburg and Bushwick had the most emergency department visits for alcohol-related injuries in Brooklyn, according to a New York State Department of Health study from October 2014 to September 2015 that the SERVING GREENPOINT FOR OVER

mayor’s office cited in its announcement of the ban. It was the only part of the borough where there were 301 to 400 emergency visits per 100,000 residents. “There’s no doubt that far too many New Yorkers struggle with serious substance misuse issues, among them excessive drinking,” de Blasio said. “This order banning alcohol ads from city property reaffirms our commitment to health equity and our stand to protect the well-being of all New Yorkers.” The order, which takes effect immediately, bans any alcoholrelated ads on bus shelters, newsstands, phone booths, LinkNYC kiosks and recycling containers. Any ads currently on display will be permitted to finish their contract, but the companies will not be allowed to renew the agreement. Venues where alcohol is served like sports stadiums, restaurants and concert halls are exempt from the ban. The impetus for the ban comes from a study from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which revealed that high exposure to alcohol ads can lead to an increased likelihood and quantity of alcohol consumption. The report focused exclusively on the Bronx and showed that beverage ads outnumbered food ads overall, and the vast majority were for alcohol. A total
of 70.6 percent of print ads in the Bronx subway system were for alcohol. The executive order comes weeks after the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene launched a media campaign promoting safer drinking habits, and it’s already being praised by doctors as a way of decreasing youth drinking. “Alcohol is just as dangerous as many prescription drugs,” Dr. Alan Kadish, president of the Touro College and University System, told the Greenpoint Gazette. “While a ban is unreasonable, restricting advertisements makes sense to decrease youth alcoholism.” In 2016, there were more than 110,000 alcohol-related emergencies in the city, with 2,000 New Yorkers dying from alcohol-related diseases the same year. In 2017, nearly one in five New Yorkers reported binge drinking on at least one occasion in a month span. “In New York City, we see far too many deaths related to alcohol,” Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot said. “We know exposure to alcohol advertising can lead to drinking more alcohol, more often – behavior that can be harmful and even fatal. Today’s ban of alcohol ads on city property will help protect communities from the burden of harmful alcohol advertising.”

Neighborhoods flooded by film crews could get relief under a proposed ‘Bill of Rights’ By Mary Frost Greenpoint Gazette
It’s one of the most frequent complaints made by residents of Brooklyn’s scenic neighborhoods: film crews and their paraphernalia flooding local streets, taking up parking and disrupting deliveries to local businesses. New York City Councilmember Inez Barron says that beleaguered New Yorkers deserve a “Bill of Rights” protecting them from such incursions. Barron, who represents Brooklyn’s District 42 (DEast New York, New Lots), has introduced two bills aimed at helping residents who have a hard time getting to their homes, parking spaces or Access-A-Rides because production companies have taken over the area. Adding to residents’ frustration is the perception that different rules seem to apply in different neighborhoods, or even from block to block.
The Greenpoint ZIP code of 11222 had the greatest number of daily film permits issued in Brooklyn last year. Next came Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO in the 11021 ZIP Code. Third was Boerum Hill in 11217. Data from NYC’s Open Data project In Community Board 1’s Greenpoint/Williamsburg neighborhoods, 5,659 daily film permits were issued in 2018 — roughly a quarter of all film permits filed in Brooklyn. (Some are student films and photo shoots, and so are considered “low impact.”) Another area slammed by frequent filming in Brooklyn is Community Board 2’s Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO/Boerum Hill neighborhoods. In 2018, the city issued 1,851 daily film permits for this area, or roughly five a day. Last year, business owners on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights told the Greenpoint Gazette that production crews and cast members spent very little money at area restaurants and other businesses. On top of that, they said, regular customers and delivery trucks had no place to park during filming. The NYPD posts “No Parking” notices in advance, and parking spaces can be held a maximum of 24 hours in advance of the shoot time as they become available.
Councilmember Inez Barron has introduced two bills that aim to help out residents who have been inconvenienced by movie and film production. DUMBO, shown above, is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Brooklyn to film movies and television shows. Eagle photo by Lore Croghan In 2018, NYC’s 311 received 1,329 complaints about film or television production citywide. This was up from 1,083 in 2017 and 1,053 in 2016. In the first bill, Intro 1495-2019, a community and media Bill of Rights would provide clear and consistent guidelines for production parking, safety, sanitation and communications. (Cosponsors of this bill include Councilmembers Adrienne Adams, Laurie Cumbo, Alicka Ampry-Samuel and Kalman Yeger.)
A second bill, Intro 1515, co-sponsored by Adams, would create a seven-member task force with the job of mitigating the negative economic impact of film and television production on local communities. At least two members of this task force would be local business owners. “The intent and goal of Intro 1495 and Intro 1515 is to foster better relationships between the media, film and entertainment companies and our communities, which include our residents and local businesses,” Barron told the Greenpoint Gazette.
Media production going up According to the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, media production has gone up citywide in recent years, especially episodic TV series. Altogether, the productions account for more than 305,000 jobs, and provide an economic output of $104 billion.
Figures obtained from NYC’s Open Database show that the city issued 41,424 daily film permits in 2018. Of these, 20,845 were in Manhattan, 12,534 were in Brooklyn, 4,404 were in Queens, 1,129 were in the Bronx and 512 were in Staten Island. But some neighborhoods in Brooklyn bear more of the brunt than others.
JOB OPPORTUNITY Northside Charter High School in Brooklyn, NY, is looking for a Latin teacher. Master's Degree in Classics required. To apply, send resume to astlouis@northsidechs.org. Job is located in Brooklyn, NY.
On Tuesday, production parking assistant Martin Davis, of Iconic Parking, was holding parking spaces open with traffic cones on Montague Street for a Maybelline commercial shoot that was scheduled for the next day. Davis said that he often allows people to park in the spaces that he is trying to hold open if they tell him they’ll just be 20 minutes, or even an hour and a half, as long as they are gone when they say they will be. “They be nice, we’ll be nice,” Davis told the Gazette. “We do allow a lot of parking the day before a shoot.” But “never on shoot day,” he added. If people discovered that their cars have been removed, they can call 311, tell them their license plate number, and learn where the production’s workers moved the car. The production company also keeps a log listing the locations of any relocated vehicle. Additionally, a copy of this log is furnished to the local precinct.
PRAYER 76: Another Prayer to Saint Expedite Most glorious martyr and blessed protector St. Expedite! Overlooking our demerits and based solely on your attainments and in the most precious blood of Jesus, we humbly ask that you bring us the ability to possess a humble faith, to perform abundant good works and to show fruits leading to everlasting life. Make our hope string and unwavering, even amid toils and bitter penury. Make us have an ardent charity that each day feeds our divine love. Make us see in each other a true image of our Good God. Let our words, thoughts, and actions reflect our constant search for the glory of God; may we never stray from the teachings of our Holy Mother, the Church, that we may always see in the Supreme Pastor the representative of Jesus Christ on Earth; we beg you to bring us from the Lord serene, calm days for our Mother Church, fortuitous days for our country, may the sick find healing for their maladies, may the infidel find the saving grace of the Holy Gospel, may those who leave this valley of tears find the joy of Christ’s embrace, and may the souls of our dead find rest in everlasting peace. Finally, oh glorious martyr, make it possible for the Lord to give us loyalty to Jesus here and when we reach the sweet bye and bye, Amen. (Ask for your boon now.) Right after this prayer, say three Our Fathers and three special Glorias as follow: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and the Holy Spirit; may they give power to St. Expedite so he may grant me what I want fast.

Barges and breweries: Sofar Sounds hosts secret concerts in Brooklyn’s most unique locations continued from page 1
“It’s really like the secret sauce to Sofar,” Mitchell said. “It attracts people who are open and like to discover new things. They don’t know exactly what they’re getting into, but luckily we’ve been around long enough to have this good reputation of working with really talented musicians that people are going to enjoy.” Attendees buy tickets not knowing what bands are playing or where it’s being held other than the general neighborhood. Many of the parties are BYOB and run only a few hours, allowing participants to save money and plan their evenings accordingly. Events have been hosted in the Waterfront Barge Museum in Red Hook, the Brooklyn Historical Society’s Othmer Library and Kings County Distillery in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. “Brooklyn is massive,” Mitchell, a Williamsburg resident, said. “There’s just so many parts of Brooklyn that have yet to be explored by people that have lived in New York all their life. The borough in general is just so diverse in every pocket. The vastness and diversity of what Brooklyn has to offer works really, really well.” Attendees can expect a diverse lineup of artists playing folk, jazz, pop, rap, spoken word or even an all-female mariachi band. “The sky is the limit,” Mitchell said. “We’re lovers of all types of music and that’s reflective in every Sofar show that you go to.” In addition to various genres of music, Sofar also asks the musicians to tone down their sound for a more close-knit environment with attendees often sitting on the floor directly in front of the band. “It’s going to be in a much more intimate setting than the artists are used to,” Mitchell said. “We say to them, ‘Totally experiment with your setup. Try to strip back as much as you possibly can.’ Instead of bringing a full drum kit, maybe just bring a cajón. “Some artists even just do percussion on a

It’s a very cool stripped back version of their music that is also quite unique compared to shows they might do elsewhere.” For the musicians, the unusual performance spaces force them to go outside their normal routines, often playing acoustic versions of songs. “It teaches you to think on your feet a little bit more,” Sam Parrish of Luna Rose told the
Gazette at a recent concert in Prospect Heights. “It challenges you to push your comfort zone with what really defines a stage.” In between sets, Sofar’s host encourages attendees to interact with people they don’t not know, asking prompts like, “What was the first album you bought?” Fun facts about each of the musicians are also shared. One singer at the Prospect Heights concert revealed that he enjoys cook-

BY JAN GROOVER Jan Groover created her famous Kitchen Still Lifes in 1978 and 1979. Using a large-format camera, she transformed colanders, knives, spatulas and baking pans into objects of beauty that still hold a visual interest that transcends their common use. Her seductively modern color palette of greens, pewter, bronze and brown tonalities permeates the space dissected by kitchen paraphernalia. These take on a new visual meaning as a result of Groover’s juxtaposition of the elements. Although never unrecognizable as everyday objects, these utensils float into an abstract amalgam of planes and shapes. When: Tuesdays-Sundays through May 11th, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Janet Borden, Inc (91 Water Street)
THE OUTSKIRTS, EXPOSED AND PUNCHED A solo exhibition of new work by Odette England. This will be the artist’s second solo show at the gallery, and brings together a selection of artworks from three recently completed and ongoing projects. Home is the center-weight of England’s artistic practice, with memory and forgetting being the counterbalances. Her photographs are fragile, contemplative and temporal spaces. When: Wednesdays-Saturdays through May 11th, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Klompching Gallery (89 Water Street)

The show questions the relationship between historical memory and historical monuments and what the underlying implications are for those histories that remain absent. Seventeen artists were asked to envision monuments that add depth and truth to New York’s compelling history. Exhibiting artists include Alexis Callender, Ayasha Guerin, Chip Thomas, Damien Davis, Emmaline Payette, Kamau Ware, Kimberly Becoat, Lyra Monteiro, Maureen Conner, Maureen McNeil, Marilyn Nance, Rose Desiano, Sal Munoz, Studio Darn, Zaq Landsberg and Jennifer Mack Watkins.

ANTON ZOLOTOV: PLAYING WITH FIRE A solo show featuring the work of Anton Zolotov. Zolotov crafts a sprawling survey of misanthropy, isolation, and social rejection in the context of contemporary youth culture through intensive artistic studies of the ephemera of Kurt Cobain, the iconic vocalist of Nirvana. The artwork connects how these various elements of the dark side of modern adolescence relate to an ongoing roiling cycle of self-harm, addiction, and ultimately, premature self-destruction among marginalized young people today.

in the wake of the 2011 disaster that contaminated the environment separating residents from their homes, land, and community. As radiation knows no borders, transported on wind and water currents, it is a form of contamination that implicates us all in its unseen isotopic presence.

Developer William M. Greve’s mausoleum is very grand.
Come see Green-Wood Cemetery’s cherry blossoms
There’s a really nice one where a walkway called Verdant Path intersects with Battle Avenue. If you photograph this tree facing up the hill, your image will include one of the quirkiest mausoleums in the cemetery.
You know spring has really arrived in Brooklyn when the cherry trees blossom beside INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan Green-Wood Cemetery’s landmarked gateway. It’s the tomb of pianist Alfred Ross Parsons and his wife Alice Schuyler Van Ness. They died in the early 1930s. Parsons was an Egyptologist. Their tomb is shaped like an ancient Egyptian pyramid. There’s a sphinx statue out front as well as
statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The Untapped Cities website included the Van Ness-Parsons mausoleum in a posting called “The Five Weirdest Tombs and Mausoleums at Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn.”
— Continued from page 10INB — You can step closer to the trees via a little walkway called Fir Path.
WILLIAM M. GREVE MAUSOLEUM You might get to the point where you’re weary of walking, no matter how fine the scenery. It would be a shame to stop strolling, though — because you’d miss William M. Greve’s mausoleum and the tremendous cherry blossoms that hang beside it. The tomb looks like a miniature Classical temple. It’s near the modern Hillside Mausoleum, which is close to the cemetery’s McDonald Avenue boundary. Did you know Greve was a developer? As the head of a company called Realty Associates, he built hundreds of bungalows in Gerritsen Beach in the early 1920s.
MINERVA, THE GODDESS OF BATTLE HILL I should mention that Green-Wood’s gates have strict closing hours. When the exits on Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Park West are open, which is weekends and certain holidays, they’re locked up at 4 p.m. After 4 p.m., you’ll have to double back to the main entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street. This time of year, the main entrance remains open until 7 p.m. One good way to get to the main entrance is to stroll on Border Avenue. After you walk for a while, turn onto Hemlock Avenue and find your way up onto Battle Hill. As of course you know, this piece of the cemetery is a key site of the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn. Frederick Wellington Ruckstull sculpted Battle Hill’s magnificent statue of Minerva, goddess of war, that commemorates the battle. The most known fact about Minerva is that she lines up perfectly with the Statue of Liberty down in the harbor. Minerva raises her hand in salute to Lady Liberty in a gesture that mirrors Lady Liberty’s gesture of holding up her torch. If you photograph Minerva in profile, you can include nearby cherry trees in the picture.
VAN NESS-PARSONS PYRAMID As you head down Battle Avenue towards Green-Wood’s main gates, you will see other blossoming cherry trees.

You Should Know This Fun Facts About Mother’s Day
• In Greek mythology, spring festivals were held in honor of the maternal goddess Rhea. She was the wife of Cronus and was believed to be the mother of many deities. • In 1600s England, Mothering Sunday took place on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It began with a prayer service in honor of the Virgin Mary. Afterward, children would present their mothers with flowers. • Anna Jarvis was the woman that may have been behind our traditional Mother’s Day celebration on the second Sunday of May. Though she never had children of her own, she tirelessly campaigned for the day and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
Individuals • Corporations • Small Businesses All At Reasonable Rates
Do any of these sound familiar?
• In the United States alone, around 122 million phone calls are made to moms on Mother’s Day.
• Unhappy with results of last year's tax return? • Current accountant not taking your calls? • Receiving tax penalty & interest notices? • Tired of preparing your own tax return?

Nationwide Titles Plates . Registration ON THE SPOT PLATES Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from April 30, 1945 ON APRIL 30, 1939, the Eagle reported, “The infinite patience of a St. Albans youth is today demonstrated by the fact that when the silken cord is snipped at 11 a.m., officially opening the World’s Fair to the public for the first time, 20-year-old George Horn will have completed 39 hours waiting at the North Gate to be the first person admitted. Come what may, George’s determination has not been dampened despite the Fair folks who can’t see the humor of the situation and occasionally chase him away. Since 8 o’clock Friday night, young Horn has been camped at the North Gate to the exposition grounds on the Flushing Meadows. Fair police or no Fair police, his claim has been staked, he declares. They may chase him, but the moment the coast is clear he trots back to take up his vigil.” ON APRIL 30, 1941, the Eagle reported, “Steeplechase Park, the oldest and largest amusement park in Coney Island, will begin its 45th season on Sunday at 1 p.m. Founded in 1896, the giant fun center is expected to have its greatest season as the park has acquired the gem of the late World’s Fair midway, the parachute jump.” ON APRIL 30, 1945, the Eagle reported, “Paris, April 30 (U.P.) – The notorious Dachau concentration camp seven miles north of Munich – the first and blackest of the political death camps established in the early days of the Hitler regime – was overrun by the 7th Army yesterday. There the Yanks killed or captured 300 SS guards and liberated 32,000 political and religious prisoners who greeted their rescuers with hysterical joy. For hundreds and perhaps thousands of Dachau’s other inmates the Americans came too late. Fifty boxcars were found on a nearby railroad siding, loaded with bodies, torture chambers, gas boxes and other paraphernalia of terror that the Nazi guards were attempting to remove.” ON APRIL 30, 1948, the Eagle reported, “Joe Pignatano, of 2612 W. 15th St., an 18-year-old catcher, has been signed by the Dodgers to a contract with the Cairo, Ill., club of the Kitty League by scout Art Dede. Pignatano is a graduate of Westinghouse Vocational High School.” Pignatano made his major league debut for the Dodgers in 1957, went west with the team when it moved to Los Angeles and was a member of the 1959 World Champions. He played for the Mets in 1962 and served as the bullpen coach for the 1969 championship team. He will celebrate his 90th birthday on Aug. 4.

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from May 2, 1945 ON MAY 2, 1908, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “The greatest invasion of eels that has ever come to Brooklyn is causing any amount of trouble to the Department of Water Supply. In one day this week sixty-eight complaints about eels lodged in water pipes reached the office of the deputy commissioner. These complaints came from all parts of the borough. At first the residents of the Heights thought that the visitors were coming to them alone, but now from Williamsburg, Bushwick and many other sections word comes that the drinking water tastes ‘fishy,’ that the pressure is slow or stopped altogether, that hydraulic motors and pipes are clogged, and even that live eels are dangling from the faucets.” ON MAY 2, 1932, the Eagle reported, “A group of visitors were being shown about the Columbia studios. ‘There’s Kate Smith,’ the proud page boy pointed to the song bird. ‘And there’s Alex Gray and Guy Lombardo and Ruth Etting. Over there is Eddie Dowling conversing with Helen Morgan. There’s Paul Robeson, too.’ ‘Yes,’ one of the bored tourists sighed as he flicked the ash from his cigarette, ‘but where are some of the celebrities?’” ON MAY 2, 1945, the Eagle reported, “London, May 2 (U.P.) — The German high command admitted today that the survivors of Berlin’s garrison had been splintered into isolated fragments in the government district of the dying capital. Soviet reports said Red Army shock troops were storming the ramparts of the German chancellery, where the Nazis said Adolf Hitler died at a command post yesterday. The brevity and despair of a German communique’s report on Berlin indicated the Nazi command might be about ready to write off the capital. It said: ‘Remnants of the brave garrison of Berlin continue to fight doggedly in the government district, split up in isolated battle groups.’ … Red Army troops were converging from three directions on the spot where the German radio said Hitler went down at his command post and observers speculated whether the Russians would find Hitler’s body or some other evidence to support or refute the report of his death.”
