Through some kind of weird fluke, I'm mentioned in the New York Times on two consecutive days, which is very exciting to me (and my proud parents, even more so to them!)
Today's NYT has a feature in the Arts section called Arial Mon Amour, and Other Font Passions. The lead quote is from me in my capacity as the writer and editor of Unbeige.
Yesterday's T Style: Travel, which is a magazine supplement that runs occasionally on Sundays, had a small feature about Bicycles Locked to Poles. It's the last item here. It's brief, so I'll repost it here in its entirety:
Spin City
May is National Bike Month, a time when socially conscious souls spin their wheels to encourage commuters to bike to work. May also brings us the Five Boro Bike Tour, the 42-mile ride that allows cyclists to take over the streets without fear of arrest. And the Bicycle Film Festival happens this month, featuring a film by Jonas Mekas. And yet, lost in all of this freewheelin' are the orphaned bikes whose pillaged carcasses, chained to lampposts, are relics of the urban landscape. John Glassie, a writer, photographer and, as of late, temporary editor at The New York Times Magazine, is one of the few people who seems to care about these bikes and has captured their pitiful state in ''Bicycles Locked to Poles'' (McSweeney's). His photographs will be on display until June 11 at Jen Bekman Gallery in New York. If you bike there, be sure to bring a good lock.
