Be careful, Street People will be loose on the streets of Hartford, CT and Springfield and Boston, MA for four days in April.   Representatives from Street-People.com, the online home for the homeless, will be walking the street, back alleys and parks of several New England cities so visitors to our site can bask in the glory of puritan street people.

Puritanical Panhandling
We're the Puritans, give us some maize.
Following on the heels of our glorious road trips to Nashville and New Orleans we felt another road trip was in order.  We have panhandled enough change to jet to the home of the first panhandlers in our country – The Puritans.  Our founding fathers set the standard, not buming loose change from the Indians, which I am sure they now have plenty of from all those casinos, but an entire feast.  Now, that is some serious panhandling.  Did Miles Standish just happen across an Indian brave in the woods and ask him, “I say, would you happen to have a feast you could spare?  We have this God to praise with a big feast or he will smite us and ruin our crops.”

Bax and BrianSo our crack team of photographers (or is that our photographers on crack?) will check out who is sleeping under the famous Charter Oak in Connecticut, and what bums in the Bay State are doing now that Brian Delp, the lead singer of Boston, has died. If you want to join us you can.  It seems that Bax & O’Brien, the morning show at Rock 102, WAQY in Springfield, MA are as interested in street people as we are and will feature us live in the studio on Friday, April 20, 2007 at 8:05AM (EST) so set your alarm, and listen online at www.rock102.com  if you are out of range of their 100,000 watts of rock power.  I just hope the homeless guy we bring with us does not smell up the control booth because no amount of air freshener can overcome the power of a street person who has been seeing demons and sleeping in his clothes for the past month.

I guess Springfield must be a teaming pool of homeless people because we have received numerous pieces of advice as to where to look for the best bums Springfield has to offer from residents.

In addition, we must be a reporters wet dream as The Republican has called and asked if they can have a reporter and photographers tag along with our team covering our visit to the town that gave birth to basketball and which lead to the screaming of the phrase ‘You dirty bums”.  I guess in Springfield they don’t get a chance to snap pictures of Britney Spears shaving her head or flashing her white trash baby factory, so tagging along while we talk to street people should make good copy.  I just hope we get the cover of the food section as bums give hints for the best dumpster to dive for a free meal!  I would like to thank in advance the reporter and photographer that will be assigned to this story as it is just one step above reporting on the garbage dump.  So buy your copy of The Republican because they have no fear, and it seems no sense of smell.

Plus don’t forget to listen for us on Rock 102, Friday, April 20th – 8:05A.M.
