Volunteers needed for Howl!

Eric at the East Village History Project left this comment...

The Howl! Festival could actually use a few volunteers (no pay) this year to help put up/take down the art wall around Tompkins Square park. The hours are: 5-8 pm on fri evening, 8.30 till 11 am sat. 6pm - 10 sunday -- but any minimal hours are appreciated. If interested/available please email eric(AT)east-village.com -- thanks!

Howl! soon is now

The Howl! Festival starts Friday in Tompkins Square Park. All the details are here. There are lots of other related events in the neighborhood throughout September, including a film festival, poetry reading series, performance art and more. The East Village Howler has posts on many of the upcoming events. Of particular interest to me on Sept. 19, Punk Rock, Forever!
