The moon over Prospect Park last night was exceptionally nice. Justin Vernon, the lead singer of Bon Iver, took careful notice of this. “Take a look at the moon, it’s really awesome," he told a crowd. Everyone erupted in cheers for the moon because Justin said so.

Bon Iver fans are a unique group of people. There was the girl switching off taking hits of a joint and covering up her coughing with bites of carrot and humus. There was the group of “bro” friends who are clearly only friends during the summer months. They spoke about the definition of “rompers” and placed bets on how many people in [...]

It was the goose chase that put the whole City on hold, until the goose search itself was put on hold. Silly staff at Brooklyn's Prospect Park got all upset last week when someone spotted a Canadian goose with an arrow through its neck. They tried to capture the goose to help it but could not, because it could run away and fly like a goose without a life-threatening neck injury.

You'd think Brooklyn Public Library spokesperson Malika Granville was referring to a grizzly bear or a mountain lion or a suicide bomber. Nope. Just a raccoon that snuck into the basement of the main branch across the street from Prospect Park. It's probably safe to assume that the poor animal was more afraid of the maintenance workers than they were of him. He was probably in there hiding from all the animal-murdering biologists roaming [...]
