NYC Guide: Develop Don’t Destroy
The Village Voice
Tuesday, 2/6:
Whichever take people might have on the debate over Brooklyn’s Atlantic Yards project, no one seems to be laughing about it. [NoLandGrab: Hey, we do funny!! At least we thought we did. Besides there's always something funny going on at Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards.] But here at last is a group of comics (for the record, they’re unimpressed with Ratner’s plans) bringing some levity to the proceedings. Michael Showalter (The Baxter, Wet Hot American Summer), Chelsea Peretti (co-founder of “The Rejection Line”—hey, Ratner-ites, you’re welcome to call!), Gilad Foss (his blog site boasts that he’s been “inspiring platonic feelings in members of the opposite sex since he was a teenager”), and a handful of others gather tonight to raise money for community group Develop Don’t Destroy. Ratner himself is not expected to attend, though, reportedly, he is laughing (all the way to the bank). (Grossman)
