This year's TreeCycle event left mulch to be desired, at least before it started



Despite having VIP All-Access Backstage Passes, we thought we'd still sit with everyone else to watch MulchFest 2015 in Tompkins Square Park.

To avoid the lines, we arrived 90 minutes (or so) before the 10 a.m. start time.

And no one was there yet to watch, lining up early for the best angles. The only people on the scene were some bored-looking Parks employees sitting in their vehicles, refusing to sign autographs even to those holding VIP All-Access Backstage Passes.

The whole thing was pretty shoddy.

The MulchFest banners had already come undone before the mulching commenced.





Worse, there were already mounds of mulch lying around the Park...



When did this mulching happen?



It's like releasing the Super Bowl commercials on YouTube weeks before the actual Super Bowl.

Back in the VIP section, the in-MulchFest buffet almost made up for it.

What if we threw a mulchfest and no one came?

So much for mulchfesting like it's 1999.
