Fish Tosser. It was the Pirate Parade. I grabbed my drum and camera, but by the time I got on the street they were gone. I tracked them down by following the cop cars, that were beginning to gather, and slipped in among the pirates for a trek along the East River Park, and then Back to the streets of the Lower East Side. I left this crew around Rivington and Clinton when the cops were starting to get antsy, showing off their plastic handcuffs. So I’m not sure how it all ended up. I passed by Tompkins Square Park a bit later and it was emptied-out and closed-up, with cop cars all around. Though I took many photos during the parade, I think the memory card in my camera was not seated correctly, and none were recorded. Arrgh! More photos and a report on nyc.indymedia.org |
