Poppa Neutrino's Memorial

A magical night on the Gowanus canal, making and burning a junk raft in memory of Poppa Neutrino. All the best to all the wanderers and waterpeople out there...

Poppa Neutrino 1933-2011

Our condolences go out to the Neutrino family at the passing of Poppa. And a big HOORAH! for the great raftman's life. Fair winds and following seas, Poppa.

"Inspired by a documentary he saw when he was twelve years old, in which Australian aborigines periodically burnt their homes and walked away naked, free to start a new life, he teaches triadic thinking and empowerment to people trapped by the concept of job and rent. Thus Poppa Neutrino builds his own homes out of discarded materials on free space (public waterways) and supports himself as a street musician."
