Last weekend these Amish-looking (but I don’t think they’re Amish) people were telling us to repent or face hell.
Repent!, Washington Square Park, West Village, Manhattan
This crazy guy yelled things at them like “Jesus was a sexual deviant!”

He also told passers-by that we should all operate on a 9-day week and we should name the days after our friends. He sang crazy songs with lyrics he said that he wrote while he was channelling Frank Zappa. The people pictured above took a photo of them and he yelled at them saying, “You owe me money for that you b!$#@. You’re robbing my energy!” and then he made them sit through a personalized sermon. He told the woman below to stop reading her book and moved onto the next person when she didnt.
Reading, Washington Square Park, West Village, Manhattan
It felt like a classic, crazy New York moment.

WSP is great for capping “truly New York” moments like that. Makes me miss NY..
