			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://gdaybklyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bklynyard1.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-671" title="bklynyard" src="http://gdaybklyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bklynyard1-300x226.png" alt="" width="300" height="226" /></a>It is bad enough that it is crazy hot and I have been outside at my son’s Field Day since 9.30am, but now I get word that <a title="BKLYN Yard" href="http://bklynyard.com/bklyn-yard-shutting-our-doors/" target="_blank">BKLYN Yard </a>is closed for business. As quickly as I fell in love with that oasis on the stinky Gowanus Canal, it is gone.</p>
<p>The folk at <a title="Mean Red Productions" href="http://meanredproductions.com/" target="_blank">Mean Red Productions</a>, say last weekend – which was a bonanza with events including Score! Free Pop-Up Swap and Parked, where some of the city&#8217;s hottest food trucks gathered and fed thousands for the holiday weekend – was the finale. The landlord apparently won’t honor or even renegotiate the lease on the Carroll Street property and has told Mean Red to take their four-year vision elsewhere.</p>
<p>The landlord “requested that we take what we have built, and terminate all of our confirmed plans and schedule for BKLYN Yard this summer, &#8221; Mean Read, the production, marketing and promotions company that dreamed up the yard concept, says in a posting on the BKLYN Yard web page.</p>
<p>They may be down, but definitely not out: &#8220;Rest assured our renegade spirit and love for pop-up spaces will come alive again this summer — very possibly with the same collaborators and programming you see on our current schedule… And very possibly even better than we had planned before,” says Mean Red.</p>
<p>Meantime, Doug Singer, Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter’s Sunday Best series will continue on at another location, including this Sunday with DJ Koze. To find out where, keep an eye on <a href="http://www.sundaybestnyc.com" target="_blank">www.sundaybestnyc.com</a>.</p>
<p>Just when it looked like there was a grassy patch to loll about on through hot summer days &#8230; good luck Mean Red and keep us posted &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wish you could clear out all of your old, unused, unworn, unread stuff and swap it for fresh things, be it books, clothes or cool homewares: Well, get thee to <a title="BKLYN Yard Opening Weekend" href="http://bklynyard.com/sat-may-29th-opening-weekend-score-pop-up-swap/" target="_blank">BKLYN Yard </a>this Saturday, May 29 for the next <a title="Score! free pop-up store" href="http://www.scorepopupswap.com/spring2010/" target="_blank">pop-up “free store” Score!</a></p>
<p><a href="http://gdaybklyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/popupSCORE1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-614 alignleft" title="popupSCORE" src="http://gdaybklyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/popupSCORE1.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="363" /></a></p>
<p>Here’s how it works: you take your old clothes, books, electronics and tsotchkes and drop them at the door, where volunteers sort them and distribute them to themed departments. Then professional curators – this time <a title="Etsy.com" href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>, Brooklyn hackerspace AlphaOne, vintage fashionistas <a title="Market Publique" href="http://shop.marketpublique.com/" target="_blank">Market Publique </a>and the bookish crew from Desk Set are among the all-star curating team – pulling it all together and merchandising the unwanted items into boutique-like displays.</p>
<p>Then, you get to go shopping for NOTHING. And while you’re loading up on freebies, there’s music and other artsy carryings-on to keep you amused. Anything left at the end of the day gets recycled or donated to charity.</p>
<p>Departments this year have been expanded to include clothing for men and women, books + media, electronics, music, housewares, bikes, crafts and a kiddie corner. Start clearing out that closet, because the last two Scores! have drawn more than 1,000 people apiece.</p>
<p>The only catch is there is a $3 cover with RSVP <a title="Score! RSVP" href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dE5kOGNCS1FXVkVIWGR1dlZQZ0R1S1E6MQ" target="_blank">here</a>; and $5 if you don&#8217;t RSVP. But hey, think of all the stuff you can offload and the new things to take home.</p>
<p>Score! is on this Saturday from noon to 6pm at BKLYN Yard, 400 Carroll Street, between Bond and Nevins. In case it rains, the rain date is Saturday, June 5.</p>
