Update #1: Root, root, root for the home team
Posted on October 14, 2009
This past spring in NYC while we were shooting Vend Diagram we encountered this ESPN World Baseball Classic street team. They told us we could have one of these WBC shirts to share if we sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game', but we nailed the performance so they gave in and rewarded our childlike innocence and love of the game with a second shirt. We knew exactly what to do with these souvenirs representing the world's love of baseball.

The Internets Celebrities make short videos in which they expose injustice of any sort - economic, political OR culinary. Dallas Penn and Rafi Kam – two accomplished bloggers bringing their bold style to a more visual text – seek to uncover truths, and celebrate the urban culture along with director Casimir Nozkowski. Bending and breaking the fine line between non-fiction and satire, Dallas, Rafi and Casimir shoot exclusively on-location, covering the hard-to-reach but no less fascinating aspects of our society. Our work has been seen in The Woodstock Film Festival, The Black Maria Film Festival, The Newark Black Film Festival, Rooftop Films, on CNN Headline News, IFC.com, The NY Times Freakonomics Blog, The Brian Lehrer Show, featured on the homepage of Youtube and Myspace and viewed over 3 million times on these beautiful Internets.
did you see/hear the wnyc report about how all of the local small businesses are being crushed by the new stadium- because it's like a huge mall - and all the trains and parking flow directly inside- so many fewer people go past the local businesses that depend on the stadium- might be a good idea to take a camera and visit a few of these places.
Thanks Rumur! We've noticed similar stories at Village Voice and elsewhere. That's a good suggestion on going into the surrounding businesses.
