On March 20th, there are several street theater events going on at various locations and times around town, to co-ordinate with global anti-war protests. THAW will be meeting before the march and hosting anti-march activities and performances. THAW will be assembling at 11:30 AM at Bryant Park (behind the New York Public Library – just off 6th Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets).

RTS NY and the Absurd Response Team [ed. note: I don’t know anything about either of these groups] will also be meeting before the March to coordinate. They will meet at 11:30 AM on the steps of the NYPL at 40th street.

If you click through, I’ve cut & pasted the email I got.

The Republicans are Coming! The Republicans are Coming!

In the spirit of Revolutionary Paul Revere,members of RTS New York and the Absurd Response Team will meet on Saturday March 20th at 11:30 AM to warn the
world that the Republicans are Coming during the Anti War March! Please dress in 1776 Revolutionary Garb!!!

What: Splendidly Silly Feeder March
Where: the Steps of NY Public Library at 40th Street
Why: To Warning that the Repblicans Coming to Pimp Our Tragedy
When: 11:30 AM on Saturday March 20th
What to Wear: Revolutionary Garb

Dress Code

1) White, button-up, collared, men’s shirt or women’s blouse
2) Button-up vest (solid earth tones – tan, brown, green – and blue were
colors of the era – the vests I have are simply reversed, with the
contemporary patterns (plaid, pinstripe, etc.) facing in, and the
solid-colored lining facing out)
3) White women’s stockings (mine fit up to my waste – any socks, men’s or
women’s, that reach up to the knee would work)
4) Sweatpants, rolled up to the knee (solid colors, like above)
5) Belt with big buckle
6) Shoes, mine are simple black slippers, like street vendors sell.
7) Hat – looks like we may have enough to go around. If you want to try
and find one for yourself, to be sure you get one, the going price for a
colonial hat at party/costume shops these days is $9.95 (like at my
favorite costume shop these days, Village Paper at Greenwich Avenue and
10th Street, behind the Jefferson Market Library – they were out of stock
last week, but I’m gonna check again after work today, along with Party
City on 14th Street & 6th Ave.). That 10 buck hat doesn’t look at cool as
the one I’ve been wearing the past few months, which a web search reveals
to be the ‘deluxe’ version, listing at $24.95 (I paid $1 at a stoop sale).
