so we did end up setting up shop to sell our unwanted wares. last saturday adele kibum myself and leon (who carried the display table) hauled our stuff five block down ave A and put up our merchandise right outside tompkins sq park.

10 mins after we had established proprietorship over that 5sq ft outside the park entrance, some grungy kids rolled a couple of supermarket carts filled with sandwiches and fruit over. they were a group called food not bums and they would collect near expiration food from supermarkets and make sandwiches etc to give away to the homeless in the neighbourhood (who all happen to live in tompkins sq park btw)

a huge crowd/line grew next to our stall, and kibum who had just come back from buying a smoothie was slightly disappointed to find out that all these people were not in line for our stuff.

we put up hand-marked posters: $10, $7, $5 and below... and for a whole hour and a half we had ONE customer. by 6pm we were like fuck it let's just sell what we can for a buck each. and once we put up the everything for a dollar signs, we suddenly had a rush of people who couldn't care if they didn't fit the clothes because it was so damn cheap anyway.

i made a grand total of about $17 by the end, but not sure if the money was worth my time and effort. nonetheless it was something to do and it was a funny couple of hours of talking to the anarchist food distributors (they insist anarchy is their overarching philosophy), chatting with a customer who talked so fast that she was definitely tripping on crack, videotaping a crazy polish man who kept calling america garbage and whose pants fell off while he danced in front of the camera.

i will soon post videos up on youtube.
