· "Famous" blogger Jonathan Van Gieson: "1:08pm: Caught a glimpse of myself, reflected in the window. Further updates as events warrant.
· Maggie Gyllenhaal - Sunday, April 13 - Bedford Ave and N. 5th - "Appears to be the tallest girl alive. Skinny, but not the scary skinny of a model. Wearing a long black sort of wrap, with trench coaty accents. Seems to have gotten the 'Williamsburg Special' haircut while in the nabe."

Jonathan van Gieson has high standards. He drops into Urge, Park, Sway and Grace, notes they are all names of one syllable, messes with strangers my name is Brain watches his friend give the brush-off to a Westchester guy with a fake British accent that's not going to happen. Verdict on the night: solid, but by no means epic. In case you're wondering, no, there's no reason you should know JVG. He's just a guy with a website. Gawker: so obsessed that it makes the celebrities up.
