Thursday Night Happenings

So much going on this Thursday, here is just a few.

I am sure by now you have all heard that the Gowanus Canal has gotten Superfunded! If you are not sure what this is all about, click on the youtube video at the top right to see community outrage before the desigination and understand why we will all be celebrating tomorrow night after the meeting!!! I have been listening to the Mayor's office whining about how their plan is quicker today and all I can do is laugh. All I have to say is, "Where were you before the Toll Brothers wanted to build?" And to the Toll Brothers."Thanks for pulling out of your project even though there is no stigma here, the canal has ALWAYS been polluted, people know it and live here anyway but in buildings that were built over 100 years ago. The gall that you guys had to dig into the ground and say that it's not that polluted is astounding. For once the truth has prevailed!"

Treat Yourself to an Astrology Reading by Jenna Hunt this Thursday Night at Beast!

Ever feel like you just want to know if there really *is* something in the stars that make certain things happen at certain times? I know I do. So, the other week I stopped by Beast in Prospect Heights and had my astrological chart analyzed by Jenna Hunt. Jenna knows her stuff and has a natural intuition that will have you wondering if she has been eavesdropping on your life! This is not only a unique thing to do for yourself on a Thursday night but also fun and cost less than a mani/pedi!

If you go, you must provide Jenna with the time, place and date of your birth. Jenna charges just 15 dollars for a 20 minute reading and Beast has a nice comfortable candlelit atmosphere. It is a restaurant but it is also seems to be a popular neighborhood bar. And the night I was there, there were drink specials for "the ladies". Jenna is sincere and works hard at what she does, astrology is confusing but she has the ability to explain just what exactly happens when "your mars is in scorpio"! LOOK OUT!!!!

From Jenna's bio:

"Over the years, the concept of synchronicity or "meaningful coincidences" is the touchstone theory which has become a central focus of Jenna Hunt's work, recognizing patterns, iterations, and symbolism, through her studies and experience with feng shui, astrology and flower remedies and how people can benefit when seeking meaning, answers & understanding."

Check out her website here.

And a review of one of her consultations here.

Go found out what are in your stars!

Beast is located at 638 Bergen Street at the corner of Vanderbilt.
Jenna will be there from 7:30 to 11:00.
