    Wish I could have been there for this. Perhaps next year I’ll be in NY by then and can take part in these wonderful festivities.

    Quiet is something that taken for granted in our suicidal society, I blog about this it’s heart warming that their are still places like this in the world, it gives you some hope. I encourage everyone to come out on Noise Awareness Day and to join organizations like Noise Free America.
    Thanks
