A HONK NYC! 2012 Festival

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street day 375, a few days after that #S17 Occupy Wall Street one year anniversary. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast. And even in the midst of Occupy Wall Street still moving fast and reading those headline news of the day, I still find myself blogging about Honk! 2012, that festival of activist street bands in Davis Square, Somerville, MA, from Friday, October 5 through Monday, October 8, 2012 and the HONK NYC festival kick off party in my internetaholicness. And that HONK NYC , the 2012 New York HONK! Festival - NYC's Fifth Annual Marching Band Blow-Out, Facebook page reads something like as follows: And oh, HONK Rocks and Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.

A bunch of New York City bands are bringing the BONK!* back to Gotham with HONK NYC!, the fifth gathering of radical street bands, 21st century style, in NYC!

Four nights of splendid music await!

Pink Puffers Brass Band (Rome, Italy)
Environmental Encroachment (Chicago)
Minor Mishap Marching Band (Austin)
