Banksy!

I know this is totally not the update that people are looking for.  Last night, Sarah, David and I went to Williamsburg for dinner at this awesome BBQ place.  Williamsburg is an upcoming area right outside of Manhattan (one subway stop under the East River) where property values will be quadrupling over the next ten years.  Its kind of a rugged, artsy area that has a very unique feel even for NYC.

Anyway, we were walking into a neat looking Tea Bar and I noticed a piece of graffiti.  I recognized it as the work (or an amazingly good imitation) of a world famous graffiti artist by the name of Banksy.  In this graffiti there is a man holding a remote control.  You look to his right and there is a giraffe with a receiver collar around its neck, implying that the man is driving the giraffe.  And in the giraffe's mouth is a paintbrush, which it is using to write "vandal" on a high spot on the wall.  Very cool!
