No Police State Girl's blog is about everything No Police State and other random thoughts; music, art, fashion, lifestyle, technology, politics, the environment, saving the world and whatever else comes to mind.
It was also an attempt to have a MoRUS Fly & Carla Holiday Art Market on the coldest day in New York City in three years at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, that radical history museum that finds itself in that City of New York, where I attempted to vend that Black Lives Matter jewelry, those Tompkins Square Park T – Shirt ‘s with Fly Orr and lots of Fly hand stamped holiday cards and more. And if I could just copy and paste that MORUS mailing list information for this holiday market and other events at morus, because hey, it’s less writing sometimes… And that Bill TIME’S UP events mailing list would read something like as follows:
Join us at a Rally to save CHARAS/El Bohio Community Center
CHARAS has served the Lower East Side for over 20 years, providing artists space, educational programs, and meeting space for countless neighborhood organizations. For the past 21 years, a coalition of community organizations have fought to landmark the building, enforce the use restriction, and return the building to community use. The developer is now in foreclosure and it is time to return CHARAS to the community!
‘STOP THE INVASION! An Exhibit of Artists Protesting the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
pop up show Thursday,Friday, and Saturday DEC 22,23,24
At the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space- 155 Ave C, , NYC.
Free / Suggested Donations strongly recommended to benefit charities helping people in Ukraine.
Seth Tobocman and Tamara Wyndham are co-curators of this International art show condemning the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. This is a travelling exhibit which was first shown in New York at the First Presbyterian Church on 12th Street and then again at the Unitarian Church of Staten Island.
This art show includes artists holding many different political and philosophical beliefs, working in different styles, from graphic novels to photo-journalism, from Fusionism to fashion design, and more abstract pieces. The artists come from many different countries including Ukraine, Russia, Italy, France, the UK, the USA, Israel, and Palestine.
The purpose of the show is to demonstrate that all over the world, people of good conscience condemn this invasion.
This art show originated with artists sending each other jpegs that were printed and shown in numerous locations around the world — so that this exhibit has had various manifestations. Versions of this exhibition have been shown so far, in Manhattan, Staten Island, Prague, Berlin, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yerevan-Armenia, Paris-France, Easton-PA, and Miami-Arizona.

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 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.
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.
