I really hope it works
Makes me even more sad I wont be able to see it.
I want to go to NY so badly, Im completely restricted from it.
I'm devastated completely that i'll never make it out there, truly 100% crushed by it. It bothers me every day.

I REALLY hope this works out, it would make me SO happy.
Adam and Kathleen are meant for each other (:

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.

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?

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.

Yauch Park... Love it.

Hope its done and dedicated on his Birthday!!!!!!!! Woud be so great to be there for the dedication.

Mike D is in LA... Out of reach. Adrock was closer to Adam these past few years. Im so happy he is doing this with Kathleen.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

[M|X|Y]

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

[fonky pizza]

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!

beautiful idea, really

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 ...

[Billy Corbitt]

I hope to visit Adam Yauch Park someday too.

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

[Billy Corbitt]

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

It got another write up.'''
///

The Brooklyn Heights community was convinced of the sensibility of this move and has enthusiastically endorsed Kathleen Hanna’s request. The Facebook page is now updated to pursue the renaming of State Street Park to Adam Yauch Park, and Squibb Park will remain as it is now called.

Well Christ on a Cracker, i got the address wrong...I meant 59 y'all...I'm not THAT much of a newb.

both are good intentions, but it looks like Adam H is working directly with the city while the Squibb is just an idea/petition.

but folks like Cey Adams are sharing the Squibb updates and it looks like Kathleen is trying to clear the air.

that's what it looks like to me.


more info here, where Brooklyn Heights blog supports either idea.

thanks for clearing it up

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

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

[JoLovesMCA]

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/

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.

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?

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!!!
