BROOKLYN WORLD HEADQUARTERS
Internet Marketing Specialist

Neighborhoodies is seeking someone to lead its internet marketing department in our Brooklyn headquarters. Your job will be to connect our incredible output of new products and shirts (10 incredible and irreverent new designs a day! check our site!) with new customers. Qualified individuals will possess first and foremost an uncanny web savvy and pop cultural hyper-fluency. Able to recognize or quote from every TV show ever made? This is what we’re talking about. But wait, you possess deep familiarity with cpm and cpc forumlas, and ease and demonstrated experience with double click, facebook, google adwords, alexa, and google analytics. We admit it, nerdy glasses do help, since you’ll be part of continual hourly brainstorming sessions. As would considerable experience in the media world, since you’ll be dealing intimately with the world’s best blogs, websites, and web publishers. Salary takes both of these into account (your experience and your glasses).

About us: Neighborhoodies is the world’s most beloved custom clothing company. We are the only company in America to produce hand-stitched custom hoodies. We also produce five times the number of daily house-designed readymade shirts as our closest competitor. Combine the two and you have the leader in superior quality, and an unrivalled nimbleness and creativity. Employees enjoy European-style vacation, personal days, and a wonderful work environment with a focused Brooklyn headquarters team of ten. Our tipping point is just around the bend -- come help push.

Spare some change?

Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly. - Francis Bacon

I was talking with Mary on Friday night, at Julie's birthday party, on some random rooftop of some random apartment in Hancock Park. Apparently, she used to live in Chicago the same time as me and worked at a bar called "Inn Joy" (that I rarely enjoyed) a block and a half away from my old apartment there. I've never really spoken to her before, and here we have a lot of people and places in common. Soon our exchange was interrupted by some chap who wanted to talk shop. Not good form for midnight on a Friday at a party. I left shortly after this.

Someone told me yesterday that they are not swayed by nostalgia. Personally, I find nostalgia the base of all my loves, so imagining the lack of nostalgia in new affinities is quite difficult. One memory begets another, moments like snowballs turning into an avalanche. I thought of Chicago.

When I visited in early May, I found that stretch of Division changed so much since I saw it last. It now harbors even more condos and a Fed Ex/Kinkos across the street from the Alliance Bakery. I knew the neighborhood was going when I saw Jinx Coffee close. I suppose one must embrace change to make room for progression, and after all I left the city behind after three years of loving and learning. Is the Chicago I love and miss gone for good? Is it merely a place in the past? Did I really expect to change, and for the neighborhood to remain its humble little self? How very selfish of me.

i miss the days when people wrote about albums and songs instead of just listing (not even linking) a bunch of tracks that will score them cool points.
