Waste Fest at Tompkins Square Park

 

 

Dear Blogger, you hear the coolest stories about Tompkins Square Park t shirts while vending banned #tompkinssquarepark t - shirts at the 5th Annual Waste Fest at Shows in Tompkins Square Park at The Shadow. Too many innumerable cool stories to mention in New York City. 

And you find yourself vending banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts for when someone doesn’t like the logo on your Tompkins Square Park t – shirt.

And the description for that Urban Waste Facebook event invite reads like:

Wasteland Productions and Waste Management Presents Our 5th Annual WASTEXFEST featuring Blackout Shoppers, Complete Fucker, Angry Corpses NJHC, YDI, Urban Waste, and this year’s headliner FANG. Food will once again be made by Lady Waste Rachel Jean-Abriss Gitten, with donations going to Sweetbriar Nature Center. This will be a fun year at Tompkins Square Park.

And then I found myself listening to Fang Official's live at Tompkins Square Park in New York City at Waste Fest 5 cover song of The Jim Carroll Band "People Who Died" video, whose lyrics still seem to be stuck in my head, while vending.

And this Waste Fest 5 concert happend to be on the same day as that Punk Island 2025 concert at Randall's Island Park in New York City.

And if I am correct, you can still find Andreas Troeger's OUR F#CKING PARK: Rebellion, Noise, and Punk Rock in Tompkins Square Park book on one of Chris's merchandise tables at these Shows in Tompkins Square Park concerts. It is a book of beautiful raw portraits of the artists keeping the music alive—real faces, real noise, shot between 2019 and 2024 in Tompkins Square Park.

And Lower East Side Food Not Bombs was there serving the coolest food for free also. Their Instagram page says they are serving free vegan meals every Sunday at 4:30pm inside the SW corner of Tompkins Square Park (E 7th st & Ave A) DM us if you'd like to get involved!

And if I heard correctly, Chris said on the mic after the concert ended that the Annual Tompkins Square Park Riot Reunion Concert is August something. 

To all the people who died, the lyrics from the song "People Who Died" by the Jim Carroll Band is about the lives and deaths of people in the East Village, specifically around Tompkins Square Park.

And the world still seems to be going to hell in a hand basket as I read about those Los Angeles riots that seem to be the only thing in the headline news amongst other headlines from hell here on planet earth on this day. 

The only thing constant is change and some stories do not end as you expect. 

Have a great Tompkins Square Park concert day and more. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

And so when your Tompkins Square Park t - shirts are banned in Tompkins Square Park because someone doesn't like the logo on your Tompkins Square Park t - shirt, it was a Memorial Day weekend of vending banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts & #blacklivesmatter, #notmypresident, #occupywallstreet #nopolicestate, #yoga #fridakhalo #music #unionsquarepark #tompkinssquarepark #washingtonsquarepark #brooklyn #theshadow #morus #ILoveNY & #sh*tjustgotreal necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins at Tompkins Square Park May 24 during Drew Stone’s NYHC show, featuring: Sonic Bomb, End of Hope, Butterbrain, NON-RESIDENTS and REBELMATIC.

A New York City Holiday Market

 

 

And it is a New Years Eve 2024 here in America as I type this blagh post. And according to that Gregorian calendar on the wall another new year 2025 has rolled around here on planet earth as that holiday of Christmas and Hanukkah has come to pass.

And it was also the annual MORUS Holiday Market and Christmas is the coldest day of the year event is here again this year. Please join us December 21, 22 and 24 @ Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space - MORUS where I found myself attempting to vend those Tompkins Square Park t shirts and Black Lives Matter necklaces, magnts, key chains and pins at along with Fly Orr substitutes and her "holiday" & "greeting cards" - zines - comics- books - CDs - t-shirts - pins - Fly-O-Art Prints and More... Fly also made a limited edition of memorial peops cards for Steven Englander, the director of ABC No Rio, that were available at our holiday market as in those photos and videos that find themselves posted above. 

And a few of those share your holiday thoughts on our "Your Thoughts on the Holidays" banner that was hung up outside of morus thoughts were:

1. Capitalist Scam

2. TODAY

3. It's the thought that counts

4. Bah Humbug!

5. Cool

And then in other random blagher thoughts, it is also Alien invasions "drones" that have been in the news and most of my twitter feed lately. So much that it has me wondering if the apocalypse has started and I find myself typing things like:

 "First drones, ufo's, aliens, fallen angels and demons everywhere and now mysterious chemical fog! And something about nanodust and nanobots to control human beings are in the fog. There is something going on!

Mysterious fog is enveloping the entire world and people are getting sick."

 

And so my religious fanaticism takes over to where I wonder if these "drones" as the news are calling them are manmade or simply fallen angels from the pit straight out of the book of revelations that goes something like: 

 

It’s not The Fog- it’s THE MIST

 

Rev. 9:2

 

And there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power"

 

Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit".

 

It's Going to be Biblical

And so maybe these "drones" that seem to have morphed into chemical fog stuff will disappear as soon as the weather changes and it disappears from the news and my twitter and Facebook feed.

And that's not to mention the latest plannedemic scamdemic and all of the other wars, famines, plagues and wild beasts and horrible atrocities that seem to take place here on planet earth each day as well as simultaneous lightning strikes  at the US Capitol building and the Washington Monument in Washington DC and at the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center in New York City on New Year's Eve as if it is an omen that are in the news on this day.
