NOO THEY BE STEALIN MAH SANDWICHERIE

Update (1/18): The Gluttoness found out that after the lease runs out, Joey plans on opening a real restaurant just a few blocks away. Woot! (Found via Eater. By the way, Eater, thanks for using my photo without crediting/linking to the source and for mentioning Serious Eats without a link. Um, yeah. If anyone else out there runs a group blog, this is the kind of behavior you want to avoid. It's strange coming from Eater because they're not n00bs and they know who we are at Serious Eats. But I don't see the point in bringing up the rules of attribution to them since they don't seem to give a crap.)

Crosby Connection

On of my favorite sandwicheries, Crosby Connection, is going to lose its lease on February 1st! WHAT THE FUXORZ? The place is only the size of a friggin' shoebox (er, 45 square feet), pumps out awesome sandwiches for $5-$7 (along with huge, tasty brownies) and is run by very nice people. I've been there a number of times—I know what I'm talking about.

If you've never been there before, visit it at 172 Crosby Street (before 4PM; unfortunately it has an early closing time). And then check out this info on how to prevent the death of Crosby Connection. Because when a good sandwicherie dies, so does a part of your soooouuul.

Dangit, I hate when great little places are forced out of business! That happened recently to a little Mom n Pop sushi joint close to my house. One minute, Mishima, the next minute ... somethin else. =( I hope you folks can save Crosby!

They're gonna be ok! Yay! They're actually moving to a larger space (i.e. restaurant) a few blocks away where they were. Read this post.

Help out roboppy?

If you do want to help me out monetarily, here are some easy non-obtrusive ways to give back:

- Buy stuff through my amazon ID!: This is the BEST WAY to help me out without throwing money at my feet. I buy most of my material goods from amazon.com, and it would help me shittons if you bought stuff through my link. I don't get much per order, but the referral fees can add up.
- buy t-shirts through my Threadless Street Team thinger!
- Get webhosting with Dreamhost.com and enter roboppy@gmail.com as the referral

You need stuff from amazon.com and you should buy t-shirts from threadless (I've been somewhat loyal to them for the past five years). Thank you for making sure I don't resort to pan-handling and robbery!

photo info!

another camera
Canon 20D

The Canon 20D is my main camera as of August 2007, although I used to use the Rebel XT before that...and the SD 450 before the summer of 2006. You should also know that I "post process" all my photos in photoshop to make them suck less. Of course, you need a camera to take semi-decent photos first (it has a good macro mode), but without photoshop, I am nothing.
