The great undoing of two umbrellas, captured by Chayoung in New York City

Black, red, soaked all over

The weekend's awesome weather enabled us to welcome another new umbrellarazzi via Twitter, @Michellejoni from Manhattan who acknowledged that the number of umbrella casualties was alarmingly high. (indeed).

Nest & nestee

Bi-coastal reader Will caught proof that L.A.-eans have no idea how to handle the rain.

Gender equality, finally

What a leader, rain is.

@Parkview sends us this couple, from 17th and Christian in Philadelphia.

I get dry with a little help from my friends

Human: "Yeah, you know what, that's a great idea. I'm done with this thing. That'll show him. Er, it."

Our duo of slightly damaged denizens were spotted by 1st-timer (sorry the balloons didn't get here on time!) @amywhiff from the B/C subway station at 72nd in Manhattan. Thanks for keeping a camera handy, Amy!

Courtney's rainy day: part 11

Spot 11: 12th & Market



On her way home from work, Courtney participated in a sit in. Broken umbrellas were protesting the elitist acceptance practices of Philadelphia's most trashy club, Big Belly. That no one had ever seen inside one only made them want to gain entrance even more. And while the picketers appreciated Courtney's sympathy, the small crowd said a check might really help more toward their cause and then sent her on her way.

Where will Courtney end up next?

Courtney happened upon some Gorilla action, Snookin for love!

Move along and let's pretend we did NOT just go there.

Courtney's rainy day: part 1

We have a very exciting post for you hungry readers today. In fact, it's not even a post, it's a FIELD TRIP. Every hour from 7am until 7pm (EST) we're going to follow reader @Coujones' commute to work and see exactly what she saw this Monday. The thoughts and narration, however, are all ours.

Let's see if she unfollows us before the end of our adventure!

Stop 1: 40th and Market Street, Philadelphia.



This picture clearly reflects @Coujones' internal narrative of: "Oh boy, somebody's Tuesday is off to a bad start. Too bad for them. I'll just snap this picture real quick."

Stay tuned!

Waste more, want more

East Midtown? Kids these days.

We're not sure, but this looks like a complete fracture, plus an onlooker over there by the trashcan. Tough day for everyone involved.

Awesome like easy-to-assemble furniture and delicious meatballs

What is? Getting our first submission from SWEDEN!

The lovely Sofie Karlsborn dropped into our inbox with this delightful montage for your enjoyment. Terrific!
