TODAY at #OccupyBoston: March in Solidarity with #OccupyOakland and Live 99% Comedy Show
We all
know how fun the everyday goings-on around the Occupy Boston camp
already are. If you can't enjoy yourself at Yoga, Faith and
Spirituality Group, or Occupoetry, then you're probably a stiff
one-percenter who feeds poor immigrants to his family out in
Wellesley. And those General Assemblies – who couldn't have a blast
at those?
Still
despite the hella hot regular happenings and occasional Chomsky
serenades, Occupy Boston also likes to spice things up with live
entertainment. So far they've had a number of musical acts – Amanda
Palmer, Hallelujah the Hills, and J the S among them – and tonight
the camp hosts some good old fuck-the-man mirth and hilarity.
Of
course this won't be the first time that Occupy Boston hosts a guest
jester. Early on, local comic and UNregular Radio host (of the
Morning Show and Rare and Well Done) Derick Freire took to crashing a
few General Assemblies. Things went well until he made a few folks
feel uncomfortable in their safe space, and he was asked to leave the
premises.
While
a Freire cameo is never off the table, tonight the famously small
Jeff MacKinnon will swing through with a cadre of his Comedy Studio
pals (line-up below). The whole thing goes down at 5pm, which should
coincide with the end of what I'm told will be a 4:30pm march in
solidarity with Occupy Oakland, and squatters in any other place
where cops are being assholes.

1.
Come down for the show - come early or stay late and engage the camp.
The show is FREE and going to be super funny!
2. Donate an
item that we can bring to their camp. Things they need can be found
here:
//occupyboston.wikispaces.com/Logistics
(Contact me to arrange pick-up for these items before the show if you
can't bring them to the site yourself.)
3. Drop a message of
support and/or shared frustration on the WALL. I will read EVERY ONE
during the show.
We are
the 99%. You are too. Let's stand-up for ourselves. It's the least we
can do.
