This booklet reproduces the 48 street posters composed by the CMJoy Gang to "protest" the 16th annual College Music Journal (CMJ) Music Festival. This "gang" was a summer project initiated by writer Camden Joy with the idea of documenting significant musical acts, past and present, that had been missed by the music industry. Employing hand-written solicitations taped in laundromats and pinned on pizza parlor bulletin boards, as well as phone calls, postcards, and fax campaigns, Joy sought like-minded soft-hearted comrades whose recollections could be hung on buildings, walls, and construction sites as open letters to the CMJ Festival (headed to NYC 4-7 September 1996). Any who expressed even the vaguest interest in the idea were immediately inducted. Joy copied all contributions by hand in waterproof permanent black ink (with either a Fine Point Sharpie, a Broad Nib Design Art Marker, or a "wide and broad" Pilot Super Color Marker) on slick sheets of 48" x 72" coated poster paper and then glued them up at night using a broad black brush dipped in wallpaper paste contained within a plastic reflex-blue carpentry bucket. In the City of New York, such street activities were illegal and, though not arrested, Joy was indeed spotted and interrogated by members of the NYPD in the early morning hours of 5 September while postering. After a lengthy back-and-forth, the police ordered him to stop. And for a brief moment, Camden Joy did as he was told.
