What a gorgeous weekend we had, I hope you all had as much fun as we did with so many things to do.  I was pretty damn nervous to host the Passport To Taiwan festival at Union Square Park North, but with some preparation, a fantastic co host (Alyson Schill), and hundreds of proud and enthusiastic people the day was a total success!  The entire event was a peaceful harmonic mixture of traditional and new all for the love and the proud heritage of Taiwan. Great bands, unique food, fun times.  Check out some photos from our SHAW Events gallery HERE !

Immediately after hosting, I rode right to the 4th Annual NYC Zombie Crawl in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and took the SHAW zombie dogs to march along with the hundreds of zombies that took over Bedford Ave. The turnout was one of the largest flash mobs I've seen, with zombies leaving bloody hand prints on food trucks and cars,  flooding every inch of the street and sidewalks. We are a very proud sponsor of this event and if you want in on more zombie fun, check out the Dorney Park Zombie Invasion on August 18th (we'll be there!).

You can see the BK zombie crawl photos at our SHAW Events gallery HERE and also the zombie review on CBS! A word from it's mastermind, Doug:

"NYC Zombies who want to enter their videos from the NYC Zombie Crawl into the Punk Rock Holocaust Filmmaker Contest just have to upload their videos and tag it with “NYCPRH2011&#8243" you will be entered automatically! In the coming weeks you can vote for your favorite submissions at www.punkrockholocaust.com!"
