Meanwhile, Allen Ginsberg was born on this date in 1926.

And here are two photos Ginsberg took of Jack Kerouac in 1953... you may have seen other shots from this series on Seventh Street...

...and in front of Vazacs on Avenue B and Seventh Street...

... and lastly, Ginsberg walking on, according to the Getty Images caption, 10th Street at Avenue B in June 1966.

An early HOWL! this year

At The Villager, Scoopy notes that this year's Howl! Festival is early this year... unlike the usual late summer date, this year's event will take place June 3-5, including Art Around the Park. Underground HOWL! events will take place throughout the month. Check the Howl! website for details as they become available.

More Howl!

Many of the Howl! Festival's high-profile events took place last weekend in Tompkins Square Park... However, there are plenty of other events left this month... all the way to Sept. 30... Check out the Howl! site... and East Village Howler for more details...
