Fall is back in the air, and with it comes the return of the journalists. That’s a good thing because I am tired of having to script original content. Some of it is a rehash: Bierocracy, PS78 start times, available land is expensive. Some of it anticipated: HPS kicking off applications, Community Board 2 meeting notes, Station LIC preview, and some of it new but not earth shattering.
Then comes something fun, or funny, which is on the periphery of being a hoax, but probably isn’t. It’s a Craigslist classified looking for a third roommate who’s a “Professional Player” in the Arris Lofts. What’s a professional player? Summing up this description it is basically a 30-something male who anticipates only dating 9’s and above. It’s worth reading for a laugh, but if you really want a story, then please let us here at LICtalk know who it is, and we will try to meet and do a profile on this loquacious copy stud, replete with a pic.
