A news box for The Shadow

There's a new news box with free copies of The Shadow — billed as the city's only underground newspaper — on Avenue A at St. Mark's Place (SW corner) ... 

EVG contributor Stacie Joy shared these photos from yesterday... the box contains the two most recent issues... 

"This is the first time we've put out a free box. We thought we'd give it a try and see how it goes," publisher Chris Flash told Stacie. "We hope that we can turn others on to publishing as well."

Look for another box coming soon to Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place. 

The Shadow got its start in March 1989.

El Muchacho in Tompkins Square Park

I love the dragstrip boogie of El Muchacho, one of the many great bands who played today during the Tompkins Square Harvest Rebellion today. (Sorry that I didn't get shots of some of the other bands...However, Rhea Ball has 65 excellent shots from the afternoon on her Flickr page.)

Anyway, thanks to the Shadow for the good times. Check out their site for more upcoming events.






And here's 35 seconds of El Muchacho:
