I've now been livemusic'n pretty much for 12 hours straight... In the depths of the annual Ragas Live festival at Pioneer Works, which may be the peak livemusic experience to be had in NYC. See how long I last...

Saturday Stop #1: No Kings rally in Washington Square Park. Some high quality speakers including Al Sharpton doing what he does best and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams was also pretty impressive. Decent showing, as usual. #nokings
