THANK YOU STREETSBLOG

Streetsblog has been up to the minute with reporting on Craig’s death and they have pics from the memorial ride Friday here. Thanks!

MEMORIAL RIDE FOR CRAIG MURPHEY TODAY AT 5PM

From Pete:

Meet at the base of the bridge at 5pm to ride for Craig. Show up early to hang first, as we’ll probably leave pretty close to on time. At 6pm we meet at Union & Ten Eyck to place the bike together.
Sunday memorial info:
On Sunday, October 21st at 9pm we will be meeting in Macri Square park to hold a memorial for Craig here in Brooklyn. Please bring a self contained white candle to carry with you.
We will be walking up to the intersection and standing there for a song (Heartbeats, by the Knife of course)and a moment of silence.
We want as many people to come as possible.
Photographs will be taken so we can send them to the Murphey family.
It means a lot to the family to know that his friends are all in attendance.
