A MUST MISS: GCCDC's Lovefest

Now here is an event that I am sure to miss! The Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation (GCCDC)
is throwing itself a 30th Anniversary Gala Dinner Dance on October 16th at 'Giando On The Water'. And guess who they are honoring? Rogers Marvel...the architectural firm that is designing the Public Place site here in Carroll Gardens. They are also the firm that designed Clarett's "The Collection" ( a.k.a. The Mausoleum) at 340 Court Street.
GCCDC is bestowing their 'Corporate Service Award' on Rogers Marvel.
It all seems a bit incestuous to me, if you ask me.

and the Gowanus Dredgers are having a shindig in a few weeks sponsored by the Toll Brothers and almost every developer in this area! Donations can work magic on your belief system I suppose...the Dredgers believe that the key to a clean canal is to build highrise buildings with 1,000's of occupants along its blighted shores.

Sorry I'm so late in seeing this, but would the community be interseted in picketing these events, ala the honoring of Bruce Rattner at Brooklyn museum?
