After two-and-a-half years of anonymity, we’re out of the closet as of today. It’s impossible not to cringe a little when reading about yourself, but Tom Acitelli over at The New York Observer managed to keep the embarrassing moments to a minimum. (We hadn’t realized that the color of the sweater we wore to the interview was fair game. Silly us.) The decision to unmask ourself was driven primarily by our desire to start interacting with the Brownstoner community more (putting on lectures, organizing a salvage fair later in the year and being able to mix and mingle with readers at house tours, open houses, etc.); as the site has grown, it’s also been frustrating to have to turn down invitations to participate in panels, interviews, etc. because of protecting our identity. As Kramer once told Jerry in reference to his decision to stop wearing underwear, “I’m out there and I’m loving it.”
See you on the street.
Mr. B
Brownstoner: It’s Me! [NY Observer]
nice to meet you
🙂
you are incredibly cute! I think I checked you out at Choice! i love this site – been reading since the early days! yeah you!
ps you’re much better looking that the soft jazz jb
well, hello mr. butler…….and thank you for this tremendously readable and interesting blog. a few years ago i abandoned brooKlyn heights with my spouse and daughter…..i’ve regretted it ever since. the call of an acre of land , trees, and lots of space was too seductive to resist.
you keep my brooklyn very much alive and i can still dream of returning.
yeah, butler was one of my favorite r&b singers. haven’t heard much from him since the 90’s though.
And I thought Jonathan Butler was a black, South African, jazz guitarist. Who knew?
Congrats, Mr. B, for escaping the closet.
Can you say unctuous…
10.18 – You’re right of course, race-baiting is funny isn’t it.
8:49 get over yourself it’s not that serious.
Yes, imagine a white person getting off their A and setting up, and maintaining, something useful, informative and intelligent. It beggars belief. Unprecedented.
