Banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts at a Riot Reunion Show

 

The New York City Parks Department has banned these Tompkins Square Park t - shirts because of the logo on them. 

And I am planning to vend banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts for $10 each at, well during, the annual Tompkins Square Park riot Reunion anniversary concert August 2nd and 3rd, 2 -6pm. 

And check out Andreas Troeger's Our Fucking Park: Rebellion, Noise, and Punk Rock in Tompkins Square Park book! A new photo 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. 

This amazing book will be for sale at the SHADOW table at the Shows in Tompkins Square Park.

With bands day 1 and day 2 being L.O.T.I.O.N., Dollhouse, Cruciform, Pure Terror, Decept, Hated, Rebelmatic, Ricanstruction, Future Strangers, Frida Kill, Skitzopolis and Carlos the Chords.

And those are the words I found myself posting on my banned Tompkins Square Park Facebook event invite after I found out that my Tompkins Square Park t - shirts were banned, as in those photos and videos that find themselves posted above..

And Chilis on Wheels and Food Not Bombs served some really good free food on that weekend in the park.

And a host of other Concerts in Tompkins Square Park have taken place this past month in that park as well. 

And it is happening a week or so ago when you sell out of Banned Tompkins Square Park t - shirts at Tompkins Square Park at the 37th Annual Tompkins Square Riot Reunion concert at Shows in Tompkins Square Park.

And in other headline news of the day, amongst a bazillion other headlines...

All headlines seem to lead to all things Trump and America, with some of the latest headlines being something about Trump has cancelled all of the wars and the end of the world and has ushered in the golden age and the National Guard has arrived in Washington DC after President Trump's National Guard activation where they are ordered to encamp and report for duty August 11th through September 25th.  

And so now Washington DC is what a martial law and a police state looks like. Possibly coming to a city near you.

And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State.

Have a great music, martial law, banned t - shirt day and more. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. 

MDC and Tompkins Square Park T Shirts

Chris Flash had another one of those Shows in Tompkins Square Park last weekend. I know because all of those photos he posted on his The Shadow Presents... Tompkins Square Park Concert Series Facebook page says so.  And some of those photos and videos I took at the 3rd Annual Wastefest as I vended those Tompkins Square Park t shirts for $10 each while listening to Millions of Dead Cops find themselves posted above.

The bands that played were: 

* The Stress

* Sewage

* Action Park 

* Ache

* Death Cycle 

* MDC 

* Urban Waste

And there's another flyer that's posted on Chris's Shows In Tompkins Square Park Facebook page that's coming up in August that says "35th Anniversary of the 1988 Riots".

And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State. We are still living in crazy times. Have a great New York City concert day and more
