HOWL is on!

The First Annual Festival of East Village Arts is on - dedicated to Alan Ginsburg. There are events all over my neighborhood. Yesterday there was poetry recital in the park and songs made with Ginsburg's lirics. A poem with "Bomb Saddam-bush-Armageddon was a big hit). There'll be a Charlie Parker Jazz festival, Wigstock is coming back where it started (Thompkins Square Park), a F* You Broadway event, a children event are some of the things we'll get to go. I love my neighborhood!
P.S. Wigstock is a carnival -like extravaganza for transvestites and anyone who wants to have fun (I'll get a funny hat too). After it got very successful, it left its humble venue for larger ones, got movies made about it and launched starts. Now, they are back.
