Occupied

In case you missed it, and if you don’t mind, I’d like to draw your atten­tion to Occupy Writ­ers and my own, inad­ver­tent, con­tri­bu­tion. When Occupy Musi­cians was announced, I gladly signed up, but Daphne and Judd, who run the place, thought that one of my columns was more appro­pri­ate with the word­smiths, and I’m flat­tered and pleased that Jeff Sharlett agreed. Also, and as the RSS feed to “The Drift” con­tin­ues to be bro­ken, the lat­est entry is about the same idea of occu­py­ing pub­lic space with music, specif­i­cally with Unsi­lent Night. If you’re in New York this Sat­ur­day, come on down to Wash­ing­ton Square Park at 7pm, and if you have a boom­box, get the music from the web­site.

In related links, don’t miss these fine posts from Paul Pelko­nen, Alex Ross and Seth Colter Walls on the recent Occu­pa­tion event at Lin­coln Cen­ter, fol­low­ing the final per­for­mance for this sea­son of Satya­graha. SInce I had expected to be in Avery Fisher that evening (another plan cut short by my pro­longed ill­ness), these writ­ers gave me the expe­ri­ence that I missed.

Some on the inter­tubes have stum­bled onto another ven­ture I’m going to be involved in, with the Gala­pa­gos Art Space in DUMBO. This is going to hap­pen, once we’ve cleared out some ridicu­lous and bedev­il­ing tech­ni­cal issues. Stay tuned …
