Art NEWS - Joe Simko's NEON GRAVEYARD Art Exhibit : TT-Underground Gallery NYC
TT Underground (formerly known as The Showroom NYC), is the event space and gallery created by Toy Tokyo’s Owner/Operator, Lev, in 2004. The threads of the gallery may have first been spun into existence earlier than that, but the knots weren’t tied together until the customizable NYC subway car themed “Tag the System” show.
TTUnderground emerged in June 2010 as the new Toy Tokyo Gallery Space, when the brick and mortar store moved from it’s location between 7th & 8th street on 2nd Ave, to it’s current home at 91 2nd Ave. A mere 2 blocks south from the old space. The new gallery open at the same spot, but you guessed it: underneath the store front.
Its roots were forged in the journey that began with theshowroomNYC (in the fall of 2004), as a unique venue to explore the connection of pop art culture with the world of designer toys. The genre encompasses a wide range of artists who choose to display their works on various mediums including clothing, vinyl toys, canvas, and even film. Originally this realm was most popularized in Japan, China, and Hong Kong. Now the combination of art and the limited edition toy is main stream in the United States.
TTUnderground strives to continue the expansion and growth of the intersection of pop art and designer toys through exhibition and special art events.
TTUnderground is located on 91 2nd Avenue – Lower Level, in the East Village of Manhattan. It was created by Toy Tokyo - The Ultimate Toy Store Experience. Visit our toy store at 91 Second Avenue, New York, NY or call 212-673-5424 for more information.

the Rant - Please Stop the Dumbing Down of Americans. News doesn't always happen under 140 Characters.
Life & News doesn't always happen under 140 Characters.
Here we have an example of the Long Island Local News Channels news break from Facebook & Twitter.
BREAKING NEWS: President Obama is meeting with Turkey's Prime Minister. Obama is expected to address the widening IRS scandal.
Will Obama be in a meeting with the Turkish Prime Minster talking about the IRS scandal ?? Which IRS scandal ?? Can we have the address of the meeting too ??
Is it here on Long Island ?? What would Long Islanders think about this ??
Here is how this article should read from this combined News Break.
"What a revolting development this is .." Bubbles Washington was heard saying. She has been the self proclaimed "Stripper Queen of Hempstead" of recent years.
Bubbles continued to comment "We need to start tossing these implants into Freeport Harbor like our foremother's would have done back in da' Revolutionary days if they was dancin' fo' dolla's back then !!"
Legend (wait for it) ary NYC Exotic Dance Club Patron Barney Stinson was quoted saying "I don't know much about the Turkish people, but I know where I will be on Thanksgiving Eve this year. AWESOME !!"
So .. there's the news as I see it ..
