Today, since the punkers are so much older, it mostly means kid-friendly performances with just a hint of posturing! If "punk" means "a good time for young and old alike", this show — in Tompkins Square Park this past Sunday — was the punkiest!
It was a time for parents to come support their kids' musical endeavors:
…for kids to support their parents' musical endeavors:
…and for old anarchists and the police to catch up!

Unfortunately, I could not stay for the entire show, which leads me to my one suggestion:
Dear organizing committee: please provide chairs for future performances. It's not easy to stand for four hours, and the benches in the shade fill up too quickly!
Oh yes, and change the name. I am willing to bet a lot of people didn't attend just because of the name. Puke Island? How about: Punk Jamboree!
I leave you with what is probably the highlight of the afternoon — enjoy!
