This is one of my favorite free NYC happenings--and a golden opportunity to find a new home for some stuff I no longer need (never did?).
From the NYC Anarchists discussion list:
Halloween Rocks!
Celebrate Early at the
4th Annual Really Really Free Market
with:
live music by Free Stuff, Oogle Orphanage and DJ Suggested D.
skillshares
radical literature
food and drinks provided by Freegan.info
face painting for children
Tarot Card reading
an advice booth
haircuts
piƱatas
free clothes
books
movies
software
toys and much more!
AND MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED, so make sure you don't miss anything and come to
St. Mark's Church on Sunday, October 28th
between noon and 5 p.m.!
2nd Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets in Manhattan
Bring friends and gifts, leave your wallet at home!
*****************************************
The Really Free Market is an open-air bazaar and celebration, where we discard capitalist notions of interaction and have fun trying new models of exchange.
This will only be as great as you make it. We will provide the framework; you supply the material. Bringing free stuff and planning skill-shares are great ways to get involved.
If you have a skill to share, stuff to give away, a crazy art thing to do, music to play, an idea for entertainment or a topic to discuss; email us soon and let us know what you are planning! Otherwise, plan on bringing your own table or blanket and coming and going as you please.
If you want contact us, just e-mail: inourhearts[at] gmail.com.
Show up to St. Mark's Church with something to share, and let this be another step in our movement towards a really, really free world.
WHY REALLY REALLY FREE MARKETS?
Because there is enough for everyone.
Because sharing is more fulfilling than owning.
Because corporations would rather the landfills overflow than anyone get anything for free.
Because scarcity is a myth constructed to keep us at the mercy of the economy.
Because a sunny day outside is better than anything money could buy.
*****************************************
Stuff to consider bringing, services you many consider providing:
music (bands/musicians --acoustic), food (pretty much anything), clothes, books, movies (vhs/dvd), recorded music (tapes, cds), computer software, kitchen supplies, electronics, plants, instruments, picture frames, office supplies, candles, knick knacks, toys, jewelry, skillshares (hands-on stuff like how-to change a bike tire, make sushi, make a stencil, get social services, etc. etc.), and skills (massage, haircuts, reiki, etc. etc.)
