I forget to warn you that HONKFEST was coming. What is Honkfest1? It is the Festival of Activist Street Bands. such as the Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band:
SLSAPS in the Labor March Oct. 1, 2009
Devoted followers of tgbtd will remember them from The State of the Union Rally in Davis Square.
Also in the line up is the Bread and Puppet Circus Band. They are an alternate incarnation of a group that I first experienced in college at the height of the Vietnam war – the Bread and Puppet Theater. They used to publish and propagate The Cheap Art Manifesto. I will have to ask them why it’s not on their own website.
Update: Open Media Boston has the after-action photo/video report.
1Someone suggested to me that Honkfest is a conference at Harvard to which neither Professor Gates nor Officer Crowley were invited. Not so, in the current instance at least.
