So tonight I went to the third annual Brooklyn Blogfest 2008 at the Brooklyn Lyceum, 227 4th Avenue. It was really pretty cool. I went with a friend from work who sent me an email about it this morning, I checked out the webpost and decided I had to come to promote my blog here. I got to go up on stage at the end and talk intoa microphone and tell about my bolg. I got a realy good response!! I’m thrilled I went and got to meet other Brooklyn bloggers and we met and connected and there are some really awesome bRooklyn blogs and Brooklyn bloggers out here.

However, one of the bloggers, a woman named Heather, got up and spoke about her blog called New York Shitty and she referenced a joke on one of her posts. However the post was about bedbugs in the subway system!! Here is a little clip I swiped from the post:

“It was at this point that one of the more terrifying points of this entire meeting (in my opinion) was brought up: bedbugs make good “hitchhikers”, e.g.; they can attach themselves to a person’s clothing and spread. Five different subway stations have turned up positive for bedbugs. Three of them (the ones Mr. Brownbear could recall) are:

1. Fordham Road, Bronx
2. Union Square, Manhattan
3. Hoyt-Schermerhorn, Brooklyn

At the latter most they were found on a subway bench, which makes sense given it is has been established these little critters like wood.”

Ewww!! God I always knew that riding the subway was bad from the fumes, the dirt, the passing of flus and colds and what really made me stop riding was people farting all the time. But now this?!?! I am SOOOO glad that I stopped straphanging!!

Check out the rest of Heather’s post here.

Thank you Heather for letting me know this!!
