When will we, as a people, learn that it's a poor decision to move between the subway cars? The Daily News reports that another unfortunate straphanger tumbled between the cars Saturday night, this one while riding the G train near the 15th Street-Prospect Park station. [ more › ]

Many small restaurants and food companies stand to lose thousands of dollars in revenue. The third and final day of the Great GoogaMooga food and music festival was cancelled earlier this afternoon at at approximately 12:30, with event organizers citing general public safety concerns and potential damage to Prospect Park. While organizer Superfly Presents was quick to issue a statement pledging to refund all Sunday VIP ticket purchases in full, the announcement reportedly came after about a hundred or so of the enlisted food vendors had already set up for the day, and hundreds more festival-goers had converged on the site. You may remember that last's year inaugural GoogaMooga was also something of a disaster, with infernal waits and other unpleasantries that sank all kinds of spirits. And while the food-heavy festival is reportedly expanding Chicago this August, it apparently still hasn't worked out a basic contingency plan for bad weather. Worst of all is that reports from Prospect Park yesterday indicated that a number of the logistical kinks had been worked out, which makes it sadder that a storm system was enough to come along and ruin the prospect of all kinds of barbecued lamb ribs, ice cream cones, pork belly tacos, and Oysters Bolognese. Early reports indicate some participants will lose thousands of dollars in revenue because of this. EV Grieve reports that Northern Spy Food Co. owner Christopher Hille's damage is around $10,000. Allison Robicelli, another vendor, hears more of the same from other vendors. Many restaurants that created custom menus for the event don't even have storage space for the the mostly perishable food — which for the most part cannot be donated to food banks — while other businesses, like Luke's Lobster, are offering enticing discounts today in an effort to recoup the loss of being sent home from the cancelled event. Below is the full list of restaurants, chefs, and shops who were scheduled to appear today. The official call is to go out and patronize these places asap. For any vendors who were scheduled to sling cemitas or duck hash or whatever else today and are now slashing prices to reduce those two or three thousand portions you may have leftover, email us at newyork@grubstreet.com and we'll append it to the full list below.

Last night at The Acheron members of Friends and Tear It Up debuted their new post-punk infused hardcore project Pagan Rituals. The band played a tight 20 minute set. And they’ll do it again tonight at Big Snow Buffalo Lodge in Brooklyn. A video edit of their set is below, alongside clips of the supporting acts.

Star Wars Pitch"/> A (not so) long time ago in a Parks and Recreation episode far away, Patton Oswalt visited the show and pulled off an incredible 8+ minute improvised filibuster centering around his ideal plot for Star Wars: Episode VII (which involves a melding of the Marvel and Star Wars universes, and, um, Spider-Chewbacca). Now, Isaac Moores has lovingly animated the whole rant into the nerdgasm video below. [ more › ]

[The scene in Prospect Park on Saturday] The people behind outdoor food and music orgy The Great GoogaMooga decided to pull the plug on today's scheduled events because of the horrible weather. They made the official announcement on Twitter at 12:20 p.m., which was just about 90 minutes after the festival started. The vendors had already set up by this point, and now they're packing it in and heading home. Here's the official statement sent out by Superfly: Due to poor weather, the New York City Parks Department, Prospect Park Alliance, and Googamooga have decided to cancel today's festival in the interest of safety and prevention of damage to the park grounds. All Sunday VIP ticket purchases will be refunded in full.It rained for a bit yesterday, but people just ran into the various beverage tents, or they just opened up umbrellas and kept waiting in line for food. Stay tuned for more on the cancellation of day three of The Great GoogaMooga. · All Coverage of The Great GoogaMooga [~ENY~]

Thursday’s in the past.  Ancient history.  It’s Sunday, the day of our lord and savior Henrik Lundqvist.  It’s a blank slate.  A clean sheet of ice, if you will.  And now it’s time to get this thing going.  Now it’s time to ruin a Bruins home game.  Now it’s time to make sure we take this series back to our Garden tied at one. Boston sucks*.  LGR.  @PhilOsgood *Except for Boloco.
