Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

How are you completely restricted from the City? Even if you're a kid there will come a time when you can go anywhere....

If you're not a kid, don't limit yourself to where you can and cannot go. That's not living...there's always a way to get somewhere.(y)

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

i believe it is. On the Facebook page for the original idea on Squibb, they put a map of the State Street park and this is it.

I have mapped it for my trip to the City this weekend.

On a side note, wouldn't it be the shit when this park is Adam Yauch Park that they put a little meditation / buddhist type area to honor his faith and where people could go to think of him?

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

I'm 19 as of this past march.
I mean, I'm not trying to limit myself Its just difficult when you're broke and transportationless. Seizing the day is what being young is all about!

I job searched all day yesterday for hours to get one where I can save and get out there I just mean I'd probably miss the reopening of the park with the new name which would be very special to see.

It's fact one day I'll get there, I just wish it would come sooner.

Maybe a few of my pals would be down for a road trip later this summer if everyone was able to pitch in a good amount
I just really want it to happen asap.

So difficult being flat broke and carless and jobless after putting so much effort into trying to find a job in my town and getting no luck at all.
My dream is to see NY.

Also, RS interview with D said he's in Brooklyn atm

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

yeah that was interesting, didn't know he lived in that area. i lived there for 10 years wished i'd seen him ;)

damn right. you'll get there!!

yeah that's the park i think too. awesome idea about a meditation area, there is an area i think that would be perfect for that -- close to the entrance gate from state st. for some reason that park feels so appropriate for yauch, it feels urban yet peaceful, and the bball connection is perfect. and it would be the perfect spot to drink a beer after the atlantic antic.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

A shrine? Ha! I love that!

The Squibb Park fb page have already shifted their agenda and are now backing up Adrock and Hanna so no more confusion about that!

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

LOL...I didn't say shrine because of all the fangirl connotations that go along with it...just a small place to sit and be still....think of the man and honor his memory.

Jo, we can have our own shrines, Helga Pataki style...LOL.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

Hey what's wrong with fangirls???!!!!!!!!! And part of its meaning is A place of religious devotion or commemoration...... so i am down with the meditation!

No seriously just the idea alone of having this place will be enough for me. ;)

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

not sure the fb page will help anything, i think adam and kathleen have got it taken care of (y)

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

That's such a wonderful thing, a Yauch Park with a Basket ball playground!

MCA was a street kid to me, skateboarding and always jumping and rolling on the ground doing crazy things like in LTI!:D

beautiful idea, really(y)

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

Agree.

You're only 19. You will get there if you really want to get there. Its only a short plane ride or bus ride away ...

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

I hope to visit Adam Yauch Park someday too.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

Jo...absolutely nothing wrong with fan girls. Totally one myself. ;)

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

It could be a cool spot to play basketball in the rain and not get wet.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

Updates ya'll!!!!!!!!!! ;)



The S.E.M. Ensemble has been performing experimental and modern music for over 40 years. This evening S.E.M. Ensemble tweeted that Palmetto Playground, the city park along State St & Columbia Place in Brooklyn Heights has been renamed Adam Yauch Playground.

The renaming effort was initiated by AdRock, his wife, and various Beastie Boys fans last May, soon after Yauch's death from cancer. Yauch played hoops at the playground as kid.

This was supposed to be a feelgood post, but I've barely finished it, and it's kind of bummed me the hell out.

Glad to be the first to report that the Palmetto playground by willow place auditorium is now the Adam Yauch playground. #hoops

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

This is not official. Not sure who SEM ensemble is to release that sort of statement.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

No it's not official... I am just passing on what they put out there in twitterland. This is who they are..... http://www.semensemble.org/

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

Pretty sure if this was fact the NYC Parks & Rec would have made an announcement. I'm sure Adam H would have posted something here as well.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

uh..............Well when it is OFFICIAL I am sure they will ANNOUNCE.

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

WHY take it so PERSONAL? Unless you BELONG to the semensemble and have inside INFORMATION too, my questioning the VALIDITY of that statement should not AFFECT you. UNLESS you feel a little silly about posting a rumor that may or may NOT be true?

Re: Adrock looking to rename park 'Adam Yauch Park'
 

I don't feel silly about anything buddy. I said it was what I found. If you want to call it a rumor then call it a rumor. Doesn't bother me one bit!!!
