Trump gets tribal in Bushwick


It is a sad thing to talk about... even our favorite patriot, DONALD TRUMP will likely be upset by the looming changes in the air. We suggest he rolls up his sleeves and digs into Bushwick. This is one mock up we would like to present as an option if he would be interested in investing in Morgan Ave. You know, it is the new 5th Ave.

Deadline: 2012

Why has Future Unincorporated set its sights on 2012?

Well, it seems that this deadline is important because it is unclear what will exist after November of this year.

PREDEVELOPMENT.

Step one: We have suggested that one important NYC neighborhood, 5th Avenue, relocate to Bushwick (Brooklyn), which is still affordable and 'rugged', though well connected to the rest of NYC.
Step two: Bushwick begins a cultural preparedness program to successfully foster a new era of high culture within uncertain financial and global conditions. This means you! Artists, workers, SUBMIT! Try on the new business casual-- it won't hurt!

Our reasoning...

The gossip around town: Mayan cosmology forecasts that the world capitalist system will begin its final collapse in November of 2007...SO MOVE TO BUSHWICK WHILE IT IS STILL 'UNDERGROUND'!
Because it seems that by 2012 all of Manhattan will be looking for cover in Bushwick...
-

"There's going to be absolute pandemonium when it does happen, so I just want to be prepared so that I'm not a burden on anyone..."
-A prepared capitalist (hint, hint Bergie!)

"This is to offer some thoughts on the current American situation in the light of my recent readings on the Mayan calendar. It is popularly thought that the Mayan calendar of cosmic time comes to an end in 2012. It is sometimes surmised that nothing solid can be clearly known about life on earth beyond that fast approaching date. However, I read that the 2012 date marks the beginning of a new world of cosmic time. But not to leap ahead of ourselves, the Mayan cosmology forecasts that the world capitalist system will begin its final collapse in November of 2007."

"Here is our culture’s mythological winter experience. This is where the American capitalist dream-world collides with the cold heard granite of objective material reality. Debts become due, and organized systems of false consciousness become increasingly destabilized by the tectonic emergence of “reality.” Institutionalized denial of the real cosmic agenda that governs planetary evolution will shatter like a car driven by a drunk, colliding with a solid brick wall. Ouch, what fun!"

Bushwick/Dubai/5th Avenue

Why waste time? That is what Dubai said.
Please be introduced to the Burj Dubai: http://www.burjdubai.com/

Burj Dubai (Arabic: برج دبي‎ "Dubai Tower") is a skyscraper currently under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is currently the tallest man-made structure on Earth. Construction began on September 21, 2004, and it is expected to be completed and ready for occupation in September 2009.[1]

So we ask Bushwick, Tiffany and Co., Gucci, Bergdorf and Goodman's: WHY ARE YOU WASTING ANY TIME.

Bushwick could be the perfect hybrid of Dubai's 'why stop now?' sensibility mixed with the gloss of 5th Avenue and the 'beautiful grit' of Bushwick?

Here is one little mock-up we have worked on. See one Morgan Avenue warehouse's charm as it is accentuated by the addition:

Time Machiner


Today we learned about something that must have been brewing for quite some time. It is not a moment too late: Time Machiner is an email program that sends emails to the future, up until 2030. So if a person wants to remind themselves of their banal existence at this particular moment, before the future happens, they may. Doing so, there will be a clearer understanding of past and future. Clearly the past starts when you hit send, and the future happens when you receive that email. We would like to recommend this handy tool to our clients.
