Banned Tompkins Square Park T – Shirts at a Show in Tompkins Square Park

And in the midst of waiting to see if the aliens are coming and wondering if there is going to be an alien invasion with that comet 3iatlas headed toward earth, ice invasions, an impending civil war, World War III, the rollout of a national guard police state and other headlines news of the day here on planet earth, I somehow found myself making another one of those Banned Tompkins Square park t – shirts at Tompkins Square Park Facebook event invites that read something like

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 next Shows in Tompkins Square Park concert, Monster Metal Mayhem, September 27th, 2 -6pm at Tompkins Square Park, New York City.

And it became a day of when people tell you that they have been looking for this shirt forever. Heard while vending banned Tompkins Square Park t – shirts @ Monster Metal Mayhem @ Shows in Tompkins Square Park, with music by Sea Monster and other bands.

And…..

There was also a 14th Annual LUNGS Harvest Arts Festival on this day in that city of New York and neighborhood of the Lower East Side or East Village for real estate marketing purposes.

And a host of other performances and events that took place, too innumerable for me to copy and paste, at the LUNGS — Loisaida United Neighborhood Gardens event September 19-28th, 2025 in New York City.

And did you know that New York City’s Lower East Side has the most community gardens of any neighborhood in America?

And what, if anything, does this blagh post have to do with a No Police State. The only thing constant is change and some stories do not end as you expect. Have a great concert, harvest arts festival day and more.

Shows in Tompkins Square Park

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh It’s been a while since I last posted anything on this blagh. And so in between watching the world seemingly go to hell in a hand basket these past few days, weeks or months, I found myself attempting to vend those Tompkins Square Park t – shirts and Black Lives Matter jewelry at Tompkins Square Park in that city of New York this past weekend.

Dark Winter 2023

So in reading the headline news of the day somewhere in between that planne demic virus that started in 2020 and now that Gog and Magog war, Psalm 83 war , Ezekiel 38 war, 6th trumpet war, Israel Palestine holy war, World War three, I think it’s safe to say that a dark winter is approaching, the four horses of the apocalypse are upon us, peace will be taken from the earth and all hell is about to break loose on the road to Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus Christ, as the book of Revelations from that book of the bible is unfolding right before our very eyes in the last days and the end times here on planet earth and we are living in crazy times, if you believe.

And I am waiting for and even witnessing the final seven years on the road to the battle of Armageddon, the end of suffering and death according to this Gregorian calendar on earth.

I am waiting for, and even witnessing the Revelation 12 sign that appeared in the sky in 2017, the sign of the dragon, and for the internet to even go dark.

And I am waiting for and even witnessing the great tribulation, the covenant, the raptures, the resurrections, the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet and for the antichrist to stand in the holy place and declare himself god halfway through Daniels’s 70’th week and implement the mark of the beast during his reign of the beast, all for the second coming of Jesus Christ, the redeemer, if you believe.

And I am waiting for end time prophecies to unfold and even witnessing the annual eclipses, the solar eclipses, the lunar eclipses, the blood moons, the comets, the asteroids, the wildfires, the hurricanes, the earthquakes, the migration of people, the 5th seal martyrdom , the holy days of the feast of tabernacles, feast of trumpets, feast of first fruits and the day of atonement, the seals being opened, the bowls, the judgments, the trumpets angels to blow their trumpets..

And I am waiting for that 5th trumpet to sound, for the devil, Satan, the fallen star to be cast from heaven to earth and for the bottomless pit to open with the arrival of Abaddon from the abyss to release the fallen four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates to release the winds of judgment and chaos and kill a third of mankind before the day of the Lord.

And I am waiting for alien invasions and for the New World Order and Babylon the Great Harlot system, also known as the Statue of Liberty possibly, to fall, to be burned and destroyed by fire, smoke, brimstone and sulfur in one hour by the beast that she sits upon.

And I am waiting to receive an immortal body for the millennium reign of Christ for a thousand years.

And I am waiting for Jesus to cleanse the earth, for the marriage supper of the lamb and judgement day to see if I am written in the book of life and if I will go to heaven or hell and the lake of fire.

And it is happening now, in this generation, if you believe.

And why did Palestine choose the exact colors of the four horses of the apocalypse for it’s flag?

The ten kings are here. Israel is surrounded by armies, a coalition of nations and is in travail and having birth pains for the child to be born. We are the fig tree generation and this generation shall not pass til all things be fulfilled.

And in between waiting for the end of the world, I found myself attempting to vend those #blacklivesmatter #S#!tJustGotReal #NotMyPresident #occupywallstreet #nopolicestate #yoga #music #morus #TheShadow #squat #tompkinssquarepark #washingtonsquarepark #unionsquarepark #eastvillage #lowereastside #brooklyn & #iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins for $2 each & Tompkins Square Park t shirts for $10 each @ Chris Flash’s Tompkins Square Book And Arts Fair at Psycho Parkula 2023 @ Shows in Tompkins Square Park in the Lower East Side now called the East Village for real estate marketing purposes in that city of New York. And the Facebook post description for that event read something like:

OCTOBER 28 TOMPKINS SQUARE BOOK AND ARTS FAIR!!!!
Come and get works of art, hand-made crafts, zines, books, clothing, records, videos, and more, including FREE stuff, all offered by members of your community on the Lower East Side.

This will be happening at the same time as Mike Lewi’s psychobilly Halloween show, from 2pm – 6pm, in our beloved Tompkins Square Park.

[Those interested in participating in selling, trading or giving stuff away (there are NO fees!) can either email us at: …… or just come on down. Bring a table!]

And this Halloween event has since come to pass as I type this blagh post. Have a great Halloween, the devils holiday, end of the world religious rant day and more.

A BNB Hardcore Concert That Began Or Ended It All At Tompkins Square Park

There was a hardcore concert at Tompkins Square Park this past weekend, which I thought was actually a punk rock concert or a heavy metal concert or both. And I know that there was a Black N’ Blue Productions hardcore concert at Tompkins Square Park this past weekend because this Facebook event invite says so, and all of these news articles that have since appeared as a result of that concert say so also. And it was a really big concert, so big that the crowd of concert goers , some wearing masks and some not wearing masks has since become a big to free your face or not to free your face debate.

And in between attempting to vend those Black Lives Matter I Can’t Breathe, Not My President, S#!t Just Got Real, Occupy Wall Street, No Police State, Tompkins Square Park, Union Square Park, Washington Square Park, Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, The Shadow, Frida Kahlo, Yoga, Brooklyn and I Love New York necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins and Black Lives Matter hats and tote bags at this concert, it was seen that there were many other vendors at this concert, which almost seemed like a festival also.

Someone was handing out Defund The NYPD flyers on Avenue A in front of the park, the Hare Krishnas and Chilis on Wheels were serving food, East River Park Action. band merchandise tables and The Shadow had tables there also and there was even a yard sale going on during this really big concert.

And surely that was Clayton Patterson who was at this concert who finds himself in one of those photos posted above. And thanks @angieisallright for helping me to vend that Black Lives Matter jewelry at that table and chair from morus for one quick second.

And with future Shows in Tompkins Square Park possibly in jeopardy as a result of this really big concert, the concert schedule reads as follows:

“HEY KIDS! Put these TSP show dates for 2021 on your calendar:

> April 24: BLACK + BLUE PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS: MAD BALL – Murphy’s Law – Bloodclot – The Capturers. Donations will be accepted with a portion of the proceeds to go to New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation

> May 8: A7 BACK TO THE NYHC ROOTS Record Release show: Antidote NYHC – Kings Never Die – The Last Stand – Crazy Eddie – The Car Bomb Parade – Reaching Out

> May 22: WASTE FEST 2: Brought to you by the fine folks of Urban Waste

> June 13: Sewage, Hammerbrain, Sea Monster and The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, with surprise guests!

> June 26: F-Bomb: Brought to you by Mike SOS

> July 10: F-Bomb: Brought to you by Mike SOS

> August 7 + 8: TSP RIOT REUNION > September 11: F-bomb: Brought to you by Mike SOS

> September 25: Something special brought to you by Black + Blue Productions

> October 9: F-Bomb: Brought to you by Mike SOS

> October 30: TSP HALLOWEEN show

And, as seen on Reddit:

Finally a solution.

Apparently punk rock stops the spread of Covid.

No masked needed while rocking out.

Everyone looks happy. That is nice

And as I type this blog post a few days later, there are now articles that read, Permits pulled for upcoming Tompkins Square Park shows following Madball show.

And There is a World Wide Demonstration 2.0 May 15 2021. We will do it again! Side by side – for Freedom & Human rights!

We are living in crazy times. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. Have a great punk rock hardcore concert day and more. #blacklivesmatter

Vending and busking at Washington Square Park NYC

20210327_150431

It’s been a while since I signed into this blog in an attempt to maintain web 2.0 user generated content for this blog and my other blagh whenever blagheers block possible, And during what seems like an end of the world panicdemic or at least an end of the world as we know it panicdemic going on at the moment, I thought to post a few photos and videos seen in my attempt to vend black lives matter necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each and Black Lives Matter tote bags somewhere in between Union Square Park and Washington Square Park in the New York City area the past few months or so.

And it was seen while vending Black Lives Matter jewelry at Union Square Park during the Union Square Greenmarket, or Union square Farmers Market, Underground Horns were busking near that Union Square subway entrance on this day.

And then it was seen again that Underground Horns were busking again at Union Square Park during that Union Square Farmers Market near that Gandhi statue. and there was also an anti vaccine rally there on this day.

And there was a World Wide Rally For Freedom, World Wide Demonstration & Stop Asian Hate March on one of these attempt to vend in the park days also. And that World wide rally for freedom- March 20 2021 event invite read something like:

World Wide Rally For Freedom

World Wide Demonstration March 20, 2021 We stand together as one big family on March 20, 2021 ❤️ For freedom & human rights ❗️ #wewillALLbethere T.me/worldwidedemonstration #worldwidedemonstration #freiebuergerkassel #wwd #wewillALLbethere #wirwerdenALLEdasein“.

And according to their Facebook page, there is another World Wide Demonstration 2.0 May 15th, with text that reads like:

World Wide Demonstration 2.0

We will do it again!
Side by side – for Freedom & Human rights!

You will find all the details of the protests soon on our Website, on Telegram, Instagram or Facebook!

And lo and behold, I came across underground horns busking in that park yet again, and this time it was at Washington Square Park. And so I took A walk around Washington Square Park with Underground Horns brass band on this day.

And there was also a Justice For Jamarion Robinson memorial and rally on this day at Washington Square Park and there was also a Times Square Takeover to stop asian hate in Times Square this past weekend , which I guess brings me to this current date of today in the photos and videos that find themselves posted above.

underground horns is a 6 piece brass band playing afro funk bhangra new orleans latin grooves and beyond. Bring your dancing shoes if you happen to run across them. #blacklivesmatter

Underground Horns After A Halloween In Tompkins Square Park!

Underground Horns were playing at Tompkins Square Park this past Halloween weekend. Well, not exactly, as they were busking across the street at St Marks Place.

And it was earlier that day that I had said to myself that I had take photos with that camera at that event burnout on that day that I attempted to vend those Black Lives Matter necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins and Black Lives Matter hats at Halloween in Tompkins Square Park! And instead of taking a bunch of photos with that camera that I did not take to that event, instead, it became take a bunch of random photos with that cell phone that I took to this event. And after that Halloween in Tompkins Square Park! ended, and Seth’s slideshow began, it became a Halloween night that I ran into Underground Horns who were playing on St Mark’s Place, only to read on Facebook later that there was also a dance bus parked on Avenue A, Hungry March Band played, and there was a dance party and bike parade later that Halloween night in Tompkins Square Park.

And Shows in Tompkins Square Park Facebook event invite reads like:

With the exception of a few brave creative souls who have set up independently, we’ve all been robbed of shows in the park this year. So, on Halloween, we are putting on the biggest one of them all, as our final show for 2020.

In addition to the following performers, we will have political speakers, info tables, publications and arts + crafts created by community members:

> PINC LOUDS
> B.B. YTK
> M. LAMAR
> EDDIE BAKER
> RUCKUS INTERRUPTUS
> THE CARVELS NYC
> SOUL CAKE
> WICKED EXORCIST RITUAL
> THE VOLUPTUOUS HORROR OF KAREN BLACK

Following the show, WW3 ILLUSTRATED co-founder and artist Seth Tobocman will present slides of his anti-Trump comics, with the help of musicians Eric Blitz and John Wagner. Michelle Shocked will perform her blues lament, Graffiti Limbo, honoring the life of Michael Stewart, a young artist who died in police custody in 1983. There were no charges for the murder. R. Sikoryak will read and show images of The Bill of Rights and selected Amendments, from his new graphic novel, Constitution Illustrated.

The fun begins at 1:00pm SHARP!

[Stay tuned here for more details]

If only every day were Halloween then we would be free to be who we want to be. And as I type this blagh post a few days later after Halloween has passed, New York City is boarded up again and Luxury retailers are ‘planning for the worst’ on Election Day in anticipation of riots and looting — no matter the result. Have a great Blogger day, if possible, during these crazy and historical times we are living in. #blacklivesmatter

The Shadow Presents: An Autumn in Tompkins Square Park

120096688_712411986011221_7476975997964370201_n

20200926_161332

20200926_214358

And in the midst of all of those Black Lives Matter protests going on, and that scary virus that came from out of nowhere earlier this year to where it now seems like that mayan calendar date wants to read 12.21.2021 instead of 12.21.2012 or something, there was another one of those The Shadow Tompkins Square Park concerts that took place at Tompkins Square Park this past weekend, after that scary virus that came from out of nowhere appeared. And it was another concert that I found myself attempting to vend that Black Lives Matter jewelry at and displaying those your thoughts on black lives matter banners at, along with other arts and crafts vendors at this event. And Chris Flash’s The Shadow Presents: Autumn in Tompkins Square Park Facebook event invite read as follows:

Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM

It’s that lovely time of year when neighbors get together to celebrate the cultural vitality of their community in our beloved Tompkins Square Park.

in addition to speakers, information tables with local crafts, we will have the following musical talents:

> The Acute — 2:00> Evil Kim Evil — 2:30
> Acorn Slim (with Dead Dean) — 3:00
> Jennifer Blowdryer Soul Experience (with Robert Aaron + Nikki Fuse) — 3:30
> SEWAGE (with Spike Polite) — 4:00
> Skitzopolis — 4:30
> Soul Cake — 5:00
> Rebelmatic (with surprise guest CV) — 5:30
> The Love Pirates — 6:00
> Grace The Enemy — 6:30
> Ruckus Interruptus — 7:00

AND: Seth Tobocman (WW# Illustrated) will do a slide show with Eric Blitz and John Wagner.

Brought to you by: The SHADOW, John Gabriel, Eddie Mack, the undying spirit of Uncle Don Yippie and….THOSE F*CKING ANARCHISTS!!

And Chilis on Wheels were serving some really good vegan food as they seem to do on Saturday’s in this park and extinction rebellion youth had an XR Youth NYC Guerrilla Flea Market on this day also. Climate change is real. And after the Parks Department showed up to shut down that concert a few minutes early, or on the dot, or near the very end, I guess, as in that blurry photo that finds itself posted above, Seth’s slideshow started, in the dark, in what seemed like a few hours after the concert had ended. And it was an Occupy Wall Street mic check kind of a slide show without a mic. And if my ears heard correctly, he introduced Michelle Shocked who played a few songs into the night, as in that other blurry and dark photo that finds itself posted above. And what else is there that can I say about this concert that has not already been said in all of the photos that have already been posted in social media land, except to say that between the bands, the merchandise tables, the vendors, the dancing, the music, music and more music, it seemed to be a great day for another outdoor show and concert in the park. Have a great Tompkins Square Park concert day and more.
