Any comments or updates from Mr. Perris, Mr. Chan or anyone on whats up with the guys who have been building the "Amber Art and Music Space" getting their space seized through "Eminent Domain" to make room for the " Dancespace Project, a Manhattan-based dance group, ground level retail shops and housing units. Together these new developments would help create a centerpiece for what's being called the BAM Cultural District."?

I'm not for or against either, just interested in the developments

although diehipster.com is an awesome idea, the graphics lack, and most of the stuff is taken from elsewhere. Maybe they could get one of those self hating hipster computer geeks to help them..i'm just saying, great concept, lazy execution...

I met one of the managers, a great guy. and have been inside, it is really a site, even the living quarters upstairs are amazing (some friends of mine did some work up there). It will be interesting to see how it is received by the neighborhood and what type of crowd it will attract (i'll certainly check it out). I heard Downtown Atlantic was continually pissed by the dumpsters and construction, but since they wont be open at the same time, they will probably live free of bugging each other.

10:34, A HUGE number of the artists in Dumbo, Williamsburg, and Park Slope are pretentious and unskilled, your point is lost.

11:10, or shall i say "guest", I was defending the hard work the people who built the place put into it, I myself am an artist, and am very comfortable with my self esteem. Maybe you were offended because you are an artist living in one of those areas and I hit a nerve? I apologize if thats the case..I think making a nasty comment about someone in particular(what 10:34 did) is alot more "nasty" than making a blanket statement on contemporary Brooklyn artsists in general. And wether you are that person or not, you made a"nasty"statement about someone in particular as well.I forgive you
