Two years after his untimely demise, it’s still difficult to believe that resilient Beastie Boys’ cofounder Adam Yauch, a.k.a. MCA, is no longer with us.

In addition to his artistic endeavors, Yauch was also a practicing Buddhist, and this weekend [posted May 5, 2014] a group of men dressed as monks performed an elaborate breakdance in his honor in Union Square park.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
