Today is
Phil Collins Day. So where's the parade? For the last several years, Phil Collins Day has been observed in North Brooklyn on February 15—not sure why; his birthday is in January—most memorably in 2011, when there was a parade in Greenpoint. So where's the parade this year?
Actually, the party this year is in Rockaway, where its organizer moved before the storm. There'll be a drum circle for "for residents and sympathizers" at the end of B. 112th Street from 3pm until sunset, with hot chocolate and cider.
