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, no police state day, banned t – shirt day and more. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

Hey again Bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh.  And in the midst of battling Murphy’s Law, this blog post is yet another attempt to maintain web 2.0 user generated content for this blog and my other blagh whenever bloggers block possible.

And this blagh seems to have turned into a travel blog lately, to where I find myself posting travel photos on it, because hey, I don’t know where else to post those photos except Facebook or Instagram.

And so it was Atlantic City this time where I attempted to vend those Black Lives Matter necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each on the Atlantic City Boardwalk as in those photos and videos that find themselves posted above. And thank you Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City for that ice cold water.

And then there was the 34th Anniversary Tompkins Square Park Riot Reunion Concert

And again, a concert in which I didn’t actually make it to as a result of battling Murphy’s Law.

And in case whoever could be reading this blog is actually interested…….

One version of Murphy’s Law states:

Murphy’s general laws
  • Nothing is as easy as it looks.
  • Everything takes longer than you think.
  • Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
  • If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. …
  • If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.

And Murphy’s Law has something to do with whatever can go wrong will go wrong.

And so back to that 34th Annual Tompkins Square Park Riot Reunion Concert that passed last weekend, a show put on by Chris Flash of The Shadow, August 6th and August 7th in Tompkins Square Park in that city of New York.
It was also an East Ghost Reports attempt to vend those Tompkins Square Park t – shirts Saturday in Tompkins Square Park. Anniversary of the 1988 riot after someone attempts to carve up your table with a knife, with a couple of photos that find themselves posted above.
And some of the bands on that flyer for that concert in Lower East Side, or East Village for real estate marketing purposes were:
Urban Waste, NIHILISTICS, Bitch Switch, Caught in a Trap, Winter Wolf, Neighborhood SHIT, The PATH, Ruckus Interuptus, Jennifer Blowdryer, SIMON & JJ, Val Kinzler, Paula Zero and SLUGZ on SPEED.
Squat the world. Have a great New York City concert day and more.
“Nothing is as easy as it looks.” – Edward A. Murphy
