Jim Power, aka The Mosaic Man, Launches a Rebuild “The Legendary Mosaic Trail” Campaign on Crowdfunding Site, Indiegogo
NEW YORK, April 29th, 2013 — Renowned New York City artist Jim Power, aka The Mosaic Man, today launched a fundraising campaign to rebuild his famous Mosaic Trail on Indiegogo, a leading international crowdfunding platform and community.
About the campaign:
For over 25 years, Jim Power, aka The Mosaic Man, has created one of the largest and longest lasting public arts projects with his Legendary Mosaic Trail. The trail of whimsical mosaic designs on lamp poles, planters, sidewalks and storefronts throughout New York City are some of the most recognizable and universally acclaimed works by a local artist. The various pieces are often dedicated to an historical event, person, or landmark, i.e. 9/11 or the former Fillmore East, or simply act as sign-posts and markers. The works are, for the most part, created using recycled materials, built to last, unique to the city, and add a great deal to the quality of life in the neighborhood. In 1988, Jim was authorized by the DOT to build up to 80 light poles. In 2004, he was inducted into the City Lore Peoples Hall of Fame and received an official proclamation from Mayor Bloomberg recognizing him for his selfless contribution to the city. Over the years, Jim’s work has been featured in countless television programs, newspapers, books and magazines worldwide.
All that, and Jim has never received any significant funding for his project from the city or outside groups. And, unfortunately, due to vandalism and destruction, only about a quarter of the lamp posts that make up the original trail are still fully intact.
So, he turns to you…
Now, you can help support the rebuilding of The Legendary Mosaic Trail!
Proceeds from the campaign will go toward supporting all facets of the rebuilding of the trail.
Not only will contributors help support the rebuilding of a part of New York City history, but they will also receive exciting and unique perks related to the trail itself, from stickers or T-shirts featuring Power’s designs, to one-of-a-kind original pieces of art or “artwear,” to opportunities to have your image or brand included on a pole for all to see!
The campaign is the culmination of several years of work by Power and his cohorts to build up visibility about his work on the trail and its impact on the city. The trail as a whole tells the story of an ever-changing neighborhood, what came before, what’s here now, and perhaps what will be in the future.
Power has often said that he is not out for fame. He feels he has a “responsibility to the people who love this work.” He makes his art “for the community that he loves and that loves him so dearly in return.” He is thankful for the continued support from the public throughout the years, and this campaign is the latest way for people to bea part of something big and help Jim see his vision through.
“We’ve got over 50,000 people on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. If everyone gave just a few bucks, we could do this and the world wouldn’t know what him ‘em!” says Power.
The campaign lasts through Friday, May 24th, 11:59PM PT.

Web Helps Musicians Sell Shares of Royalties
“Me and most writers can’t walk into a bank,” Mr. Glass said in an interview from his home studio in Los Angeles. “Banks don’t understand how songwriting works, how the whole business of royalties works.”
So Mr. Glass turned to the Royalty Exchange, a Web site where musicians can sell parts of their royalty income to investors. He put 15 of his songs on the block — including “Miss You Like Crazy,” a Top 10 hit for Ms. Cole in 1989, of which Mr. Glass was a co-writer — and raised $158,000. Mr. Glass retains most of his rights to those songs, but will now share part of the income with an investor whenever they are played on the radio or streamed online.

I want that bag.
Not Bleecker B’s, but Generation on Sullivan Street.
Generation was always my favorite growing up. Tons of bootlegs and rare imports.
So, this happened.
Was walking home across town from the West Village on 13th Street last night around midnight.
Stood waiting for the light to change on the southwest corner. Across the intersection on the northwest corner, this woman was doing the same.
I crossed 4th Avenue and for some reason turned around only to see her sit down where she had been standing, and then proceed to lay down right there on the sidewalk. Not pass out. Deliberately. Next to a pile of trash. In the rain. In a mini skirt.
I walked back to see if she was okay. She seemed fine. Lucid. So, I said something like “C’mon. Don’t be an asshole. Get up.” Nope. All good, she insisted.
Walked on. Turned back and saw two more packs of people walk by and said something to her. She waved them off.
I took a picture.
I’m sure this was a proud moment for her.
At least she wasn’t woo-ing.
Hope she’s okay.
Ah, 1993. What a great, weird, fun time for music. Reflect back with us. And feel old.

Design Director Thomas Alberty Once again, with the warmer weather starting to break, and the new CitiBike stations popping up throughout the city, thought I’d repost this screed from a while back on NYC biking rules.
In short: “just imagine you’re in a car.”
Add to the list:
Slow down. If you’re practicing for the Tour de France time trials, please do so on the riverside bike paths, where you’re less likely to intersect with so many cars, pedestrians, baby carriages, etc.
Use a bell. Actually required.
Reiterating the “one way” thing. Walk your bike to the nearest cross street that moves in the direction you’re headed. Seriously.
Biking Rules Commuter Handbook
Download it here.
Read it.
Tell your friends.
Might be better to just take the time to learn the rules than to stand on a corner waving a sign in front of 12 people…months after new bike lanes were installed in your neighborhood…two years after they were first proposed…
Here:
A simple tip for adhering to biking rules: just imagine you’re in a car.
You would never drive the wrong way on a one-way street. Don’t do it on a bike.
You would never drive on the sidewalk. Don’t do it on a bike.
You would never drive through a red light. Don’t do it on a bike.
And so on…
See? Simple.

There was the Poet of Pop, Tom Wolfe, and the Fugs’s Tuli Kupferberg, and novelist Mary McCarthy, and Kennedy-in-law Steve Smith, and folk-singer David Blue, and halfback George Plimpton. It looked like the cover of the next Beatles’ album. The New Frontier met the Underground, while the Beautiful People kept score.

Fall Under Rosario Dawson’s Spell
We’ve all known for a while that Rosario Dawson was a rare breed of bombshell—the startling, space-oddity, multi-culti features; the preposterous hourglass curves; the endless stream of sass—but just for the record, she knew it herself way before the rest of us. The lightbulb went on, she says, when she still was in her teens, before she shimmied for Edward Norton in 25th Hour, before she made gold-digging defensible in He Got Game, even before Larry Clark cast her in Kids straight off a stoop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. “I took a picture with my friend in a bikini,” she recalls. “Around then, I didn’t have it because I didn’t want it. But I fit the clothes well, you know?” Yes. We know.
Local kid does good.
