I’ll have the service advisories up later tonight, but I wanted to alert my loyal readers to a talk I’m giving on Thursday, September 16. As part of Gelf Magazine’s Geeking Out series, I’ll be speaking on the MTA next week as part of an event called “The Anatomy of the Big Apple.” Also talking that evening will be Sharon Zukin and Charles Koumanoff. The event start at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 7, and it’s at the JLA Studios art gallery on 63 Pearl St. in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. Admission is free, and drinks will be available. The F is the nearest subway, and the A/C and 2/3 aren’t far.
And now on to the service advisories. These come to me via New York City Transit and are subject to change without notice. Check out the signs in your nearest station and listen to on-board announcements. No Subway Weekender this week because he’s getting married. We’ll just have to make do with the text announcements instead.

I probably won’t be able to make it, but will you post a video of the event on your blog after it is over?
I may or may not be able to come – I’m not sure. I have another commitment in Downtown Brooklyn at 8. If I get there at 7 and leave at 7:45, will I get to see anything or anyone?
I’ll be there.
