Early this afternoon crowds began to gather in front of the Adam Clayton Powell State Office Building in Harlem. Demonstrators called for justice and stated that George Zimmerman's acquittal was a confirmation that the United States' legal system was broken. A few demonstrators suggested that if the government's judiciary system could not be relied upon as a fair institution, we should not be surprised if people try to take justice into their own hands.

The Newsstand is a one month pop-up zine store in the Lorimer L/Metropolitan G subway station, brought to you by the curators of the 8-ball Zine Fair and the creative agency ALLDAYEVERYDAY. The retail space, located between the two trains, was formerly occupied by a convenient store that sold candy, high fructose corn syrup + water, and trashy magazines. Now you will find bubbly bottled water, art zines, buttons, and Tom Wesselman-esque ladies on the walls. They are having a party tonight and I am curious if/how they are going to get the keg down the stairs.
Colin Quinn Just Sexted Me

He actually texted me the day I shot his portrait. We met up right after his morning work out—he was sweaty and still catching his breath as he explained to me how he was once a sexy muscle jock. Sensing my disbelief, he asked me for my phone number ('How forward of you Mr. Quinn' I said) and before I knew it, this photo was vibrating in my pocket.

Victor Jeffreys II · 07/03/13 11:57AM
The 2013 US Air Guitar Semi-finals were held last night in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom. Mean Melin (Eric Melin) took home the evening's title for an energetic display of thrashing convulsions that brought him to his knees and the crowd to their feet. I can't image the reaction he would have incited if he were actually playing the guitar. Oh yeah, and Danny Tanner was there.

New York City is proud of its LGBTQ community, and it showed at this year's Pride parade. With more than 10,000 marchers sashaying down 5th ave, still high from the recent SCOTUS decisions, you could feel the excitement in the air. Millions of supporters lined the streets cheering along the floats, drag queens, wigs, and witches—it was an incredible site to see.

The NYPD blocked off Christopher Street between 6th and 7th avenues (directly in front of the historic Stonewall Inn) yesterday afternoon so that hundreds of New Yorkers had a place to celebrate SCOTUS's decision on DOMA and Prop 8. Edith Windsor, her lawyer Roberta Kaplan, and throngs of politicians, LGBTQ leaders, and religious leaders joined the celebration.
