Morning Brief: June 2

Hey look, it's Big Foot! Oh wait, nevermind it's just Joey Skaggs.

The legendary New York satirist and media prankster has a knack for tricking news media and professional journalists into saying some pretty ridiculous things. A full-length documentary about Skaggs is coming to the Lower East Side Film Festival on Thursday, June 9th, at the Sunshine Theater. Skaggs and filmmaker Andrea Marini will be on hand to answer questions about "The Art of the Prank." [Full Story]
