Alphabet City got really hammered by the hurricane. To boost spirits: a parade. Let's play a parade on Saturday at, say, 12:30 up Avenue C from Houston to C-Squat/MoRUS at East 10th Street.
We need musicians to RSVP — please let us know your instrument or section. Also circus friends, stiltwalkers, jugglers, and others, please come add festiveness and spectacle!
Please bring fruit and other supplies to give out, too. Zines, comics, and activity books make great throws for homes without power! Here's what to do with your dusty library...

This "parade" passed by my apartment, and far from looking like something meant to raise spirits, it looked more like a lot of white 20-somethings dancing through the rubble. (I don't care if Reverend Billy was there.)
@shmnyc 9:41 AM-Fodder for diehipster.com?
Why are people (like commentator above)such jackasses? Even now it's about race to you? There were all kinds a people there dude, not just the white people. Such racism on your part makes me think you don't belong in the East Village-it's kinda always been a mixed race place, so if you can't deal w/seeing 'white people' maybe you should jet your grumpy ass out of here. It's so tired-your whiny complaint.
Not sure a parade was entirely appropriate. Unless it included a funeral dirge- did it?
