Lumen Eclipse, the public art project responsible for the festival, held the event on the newly constructed Palmer Street on Oct. 4.

...Trotsky said diaries are just ersatz journalism then Lumen's diary is ersatz ersatz journalism: and if, as Swados himself once wrote old-time leftists can have "the spooky aspect of a gathering of ghosts," then Lumen has the spooky aspect of the ghost of a ghost.
