New Episode of Freddy's Brooklyn Roundhouse Tuesday Night

F.I.B's friends over at Freddy's Brooklyn Roundhouse have a new episode of the show airing on Tuesday night. I've seen some of the footage and it is definitely a story that is underreported. The residents of the public housing projects around Ft. Greene are feeling the effects of gentrification and have lost many basic neighborhood emmenities including their supermarkets. Here are the details as per the Roundhouse.

Episode 1 of Freddy's Brooklyn Roundhouse's coverage of the FUREE convention will air on BCAT at 8pm this Tuesday, June 3rd and in Manhattan next Thursday, June 5th, at 8:30pm on MNN.

About the show:

Brooklyn's FUREE (Families United for Racial and Economic Equality) held their 5th annual convention followed by a march to protest the closing of the Albee Square Mall. Is it time to fight back? The Developer, John Catsimatidis, destroyed all the services around the Farragut, Whitman and Ingersoll housing projects (which is home to over 30,000 tenants), including the supermarkets (ironically he is the owner, president, chairman, and CEO of the Red Apple Group and Gristedes Foods). NYC is also using a fake "egress" issue to shut down child care. And Public Housing is under attack.

Featuring Ed Carter, Diana Smith, Beverly Corwin, Kevin Powell, V/elmanette Montgomery, Hakeem Jeffries and the Marching Alliance . Not attending for the 5th year in a row was Ed Towns.

"You snooze, you lose, buddy!"

The ecstatically happy Markowitz's.
The other night a friend invited me to what I thought was just a regular Brooklyn style house party. Little did I know that hosts of the party Director/Cinematographer Steve and the fabulous wardrobe lady Sabine seduced it's attendees with food and alcohol and then cast us to act in an episode of the "Brooklyn vs. Bush Television Comedy Hour". Yup that's how it happened (to me anyway!). This photo is a little teaser from an upcoming episode where Jamie Markowitz's infamous Takashi Murakami placemat stealing incident at the Brooklyn Museum Ratner Gala is reenacted. Elliot plays Marty and Nancy gives a command performance as Jamie Markowitz. F.I.B makes her acting debut in this episode as the "Rich Lady" who becomes so livid with Jamie for taking her placemat swag that she morphs into a Murakami type super heroine! Wrestling and hair pulling ensues! I can't WAIT to see it!!!!
