The Newtown Pentacle

Altissima quaeque flumina minimo sono labi

DEP events at Newtown Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant

Everybody’s friends at the DEP have asked if I could share these invites to upcoming public events with you, Lords and Ladies of the Pentacle.

I’ll be busy on the 21st of course, but will make sure that everyone onboard waves when we’re passing by on the boat.

Lastly:

It is critical for you to purchase tickets for the Newtown Creek Cruise soon. We’re filling up rapidly and seating is limited. Your humble narrator is acting as chairman for this journey, and spectacular guest speakers are enlisted to be onboard. Click here to order tickets. Something I can promise you, given the heavy rain we’re having at the beginning of this week, is that the Newtown Creek will be especially photogenic on Saturday. Current forecasts call for light fog, possible early morning showers (we leave the dock at 10- late morning) and clouds clearing around noon! Photographers in Greenpoint, Long Island City, and beyond- this is going to be hyperfocal MAGIC.
