I am saddened about Craig, a showbiz genius, who I knew and adored. He left some mighty big and sparkling footprints as his legacy.
I am also saddened by this report:
Local Activist/Reporter/Filmmaker Killed In Oaxaca, Mexico
Bradley Will,36, died on October 27th, after being shot in the chest by government forces in Ciudad Oaxaca while covering the uprising as an independent journalist.
As of this writing, the Oaxaca rebellion threatens to escalate and spread to other Mexican states.
Some of the East Village denizens on these boards may remember him for his involvement in the famous Fifth Street Squat Rebellion in the late 90's which ultimately secured eleven buildings neglected by the City for their sweat equity tenants. He was also a member of the More Gardens group which helped save many of the vestpocket gardens in Alphabet City. Will was not only a local activist, but also had a deep-seated interest in Latin American political situation. He truly lived-- and died-- for what he believed in, and I tip my hat to him.
