Vinegar Hill Summer Rooftop Party by Ogilvy employee shut down

So this is just hitting the blogosphere. The story goes that some employee at Ogilvy broke into her old apartments roof and threw a big ass party. Fast-Forwad an hour and the partygoers have to take a piss but low and behold no bathrooms. doh! So what did the drunks do? They knock on random people’s doors and ask to use their bathrooms.

Really are people still this stupid in NYC, both Tracy Coleman (the idiot) and the partygoers.

Click below for the full story.

Vinegar Hill Summer Rooftop Party Cut Short: “

260 Water Street

This past Saturday (23-Aug-08), a rooftop takeover party on the 260 Water Street building was cut short. There was a report that a former tenant invited 1000 people to party on the roof, but after a ‘few hundred’ people gathered on the roof, someone called the police. According to the invite:

Last year word got out about the party pretty early, and the turnout was great! And we had a blast. But it got so good that eventually a cop showed up with 5 of his friends who peacefully informed us that we didn’t have to go home but…

So, this year we’re doing a takeover. Which is why you’re getting this email today and not a month ago. Let your people know and get ready for the hottest party of the summer. We have a few rules that we’ll let you know about later in the week but for now, get your gear ready, pick out your bottle and tell your people to be on time b/c if you show up with the CP time crowd at 1:30 and are ‘peacefully escorted’ off the roof an hour later, you can’t say we didn’t warn you!

I guess impromptu summer parties can’t be easily done anymore even in the usually quiet/deserted area of Vinegar Hill.

Tiny Apartments – Really?

This is nuts. Who would want to live in something this small. Really. Just nuts how small it is.

Sometimes, Less is just Less: the 250 SF Condo for $279K: “cubixsf apartment unit image

Housing in San Francisco is expensive, and one way to make units cost less is to make them smaller, particularly if there is restrictive zoning and you can get more units in the same building envelope. Now they have squeezed units down to 250 square feet, smaller than most hotel rooms. George Hauser, the architect, notes that they aren’t for everyone-

‘It’s not the last place a person might own, but a great place to spend three to five years as a young single … to build equity and move up,’ said Hauser, principal of Hauser Architects in San Francisco. ‘You’re in a small space with great amenities and the resources of the city.’
