Christopher Wood, son of Broken Angel owners/creators Arthur and Cindy Wood, updates what is happening with the 4 Downing Street building in Brooklyn. As the Woods are working with Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture to bring the building to code, there is still a court hearing tomorrow to see if the Department of Buildings has been justified in its actions (the DOB has threatened demolition and removed the Woods from the house).
The Woods are also selling artwork and photographs at Artez'n - and you can see and buy the pieces here - to raise money for funds.
And if you haven't checked out the Broken Angel Flickr photoset, you should - it's a trippy look inside the building. There's even this picture of Cindy Wood and Dave Chappelle, from when he filmed part of Block Party at Broken Angel. (Here's the clip on YouTube.)
