Looks like someone is starting off this beautiful October Monday morning the correct way* *doing The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge

And all TLiG artwork in the back? Are you kidding me? Put this photo in The Met!

A regular at the bar just sent me this photo of four people doing The Lady in Greenpoint. (They told him I could post it.) Beautiful. 👍

And actually because of this crew, TLiG has now officially *made a profit* after 4 years of its existence. Do NOT let them tell you being an artist is a sucker’s bet! Make a thing!

And we have done it! 1,508 days since The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge, was released on a $3,000 budget… we have it back! Everything from here on out is Pure Profit 💪🤑👍

Only $20 more and we are TURNING A PROFIT!

We are now only $115 away from The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge, finally *making a profit* after 1,477 days of it being around 💪

Three groups did The Lady in Greenpoint, a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge, last night and no one tipped! It’s okay. I’m fine. I will be rewarded in heaven.

I spent about $3,000 on making The Lady in Greenpoint, and now, 1,461 days later, we are only $30 away from getting back to zero. Will it be this weekend???

Someone came into the bar last night to grab some Lady in Greenpoint T-shirts because they did the first chunk and thought it’d be fun to wear them while finishing it off 👍

If you start The Lady in Greenpoint (a 3-mile walking audio ghost story starting at the Pulaski Bridge) at 7:30 p.m. tonight you will arrive at Oak & Iron just in time to get a seat for a talk on witchy art history in NYC tonight wow.

I feel that I can pretty confidently say that SOMEONE did AT LEAST A PART of The Lady in Greenpoint every day for the past week. And tonight now too!

Was told that my description of the famous Greenpoint Savings Bank in The Lady in Greenpoint (“dilapidated, graffiti covered”) was very funny now that it’s a big weed store. It’s changed a lot in 4 years. Interesting development with this form of media…

But also I think in this particular case (unlike Loops, in Prospect Park) I had a sense things would be changing quickly so that’s somewhat in the story as well. That’s the goal anyway!

Demand has outpaced supply and so I have to do a second order this week. If you want in, now is a good time to tell me!

Like everyone cool Rick has of course written for Hell World a couple times.

Today @rickpaulas.bsky.social writes about a spate of bills being passed in CA and elsewhere meant to criminalize “aiding or abetting” the homeless. Does that mean you'll be fined for giving someone on the street change? Tossed in jail for setting up food aid? I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I admire how Rick just makes the shit he wants to make because he thinks it’s cool.

A bit of the rough budget breakdown: - $1,500 to actors and other talent - $500 on websites stuff - $1,000 on stickers (lol???) Anyway! We are now $75 away from getting back to $0.

At the end of the day this was never really intended to be a money making thing… but I *did* put $3,000 of my own money into it (not counting like my own labor, etc.) and so at the very least I wanted to break even. We are essentially there. Go make things!

Someone came over to the bar tonight to buy the Lady in Greenpoint t-shirt because he got turned onto “my shit” from MALINKO because the local bookstore was selling it and he just happened upon it. That’s what it’s all about, folks.
