Busy day, as these photos from Bobby Williams show... there was live music... as well as the Prayer Station via the Sacred Life Ministries ...
There was a video/commercial shoot featuring actor Dean Winters from "30 Rock" and "Rescue Me" ... (Was this for The Heroes Project?)
...and a traveler/crusty needed some medical attention...
There seems to be a nearly endless conga line of these religious tent shows-with LOUDLY AMPLIFIED "services"
ReplyDeletein Tompkins Square Park. Nearly endless. Almost every day. Over and Over. There is a group from Long Island with a VERY LOUD evangelical "service" led by a thickly accented Long Island woman who also sings, and screams "alellujah!" into her tinny amp over and over and over.
(audience/parish at least gets fed after the show. "Minister" then usually proceeds to charge up and down Ave A on the park side of the street, loudly berating her staff, and throwing things on the ground.)
Reverend Billy, anyone? Allelujah for a bitterly cold Autumn, beginning right after Labor Day?
Can't wait.
