Which Boston Bruin ordered the 1 Amstel Light?

This morning my client, Amstel Light, sent out an open letter to the Boston Bruins congratulating them on their Stanley Cup victory, but asking the team the night they spent $157,000 out at a bar celebrating and ordering more than 147-some beers.......who ordered the lone Amstel Light?

Story made big sports news all-around today.

Darren Rovell (95,000 twitter followers) was the first to report.

Boston Globe - "So, which Bruin ordered the Amstel Light?"
Yahoo! Sports - "Which Boston Bruin player had the Amstel Light? Our suspects"
ESPN - "Amstel Light trying to solve mystery"
CBS Sports - "Amstel offers free beer to mystery Bruin drinker"
NBC Sports - "Which Boston Bruin ordered the Amstel Light? Beer company offers glorious reward for answer

'Art in the Streets' no longer coming to N.Y.?

'Art in the Streets,' "the most attended exhibition in the history of the MOCA" (Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art) is no longer coming to the Brooklyn Museum this fall.

While it was originally reported that the B.M. would no longer bring the exhibit due to moving costs it has since been speculated that the museum is avoiding the controversial exhibit for its "celebration of vandalism."

The below op-ed is a great read

NY Daily News - "L.A. graffiti exhibition, 'Art in the Streets,' belongs in N.Y.C."

"It is ludicrous to think that an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum would have inspired gangs of graffiti goons marching down Flatbush Ave. You know what inspires tagging? Bad architecture. Commercialism. The sanitized state of the city."

"Say what you will, this art is democratic. It is electric. It is relevant. It's a shame funding has prevented this important show from coming home to New York City. Hopefully, another city institution will step up. MoMA, are you listening?"

FAILE Temple

Brooklyn art-duo Faile's art installation, Faile Temple, was part of the Lisbon, Portugal 2010 Portugal Arte 10 biennial. Sadly, no longer in Lisbon.

Click here to the 43 detailed photos of the temple.

"The Brooklyn-based collective Faile's site-specific work seems to be the hit of the biennial. It's a shining ruin, an open-air dialogue between the sacred past and the secular present."

Interview Magazine - "Brooklyn is Holy in Portugal"

Population of the U.S.

"A graphic designer named Shane Keaney recently calculated that if the entire American population was as densely settled as that of Brooklyn it could fit into the state of New Hampshire, leaving the forty-nine other states as open land."
