Have a Safe 9/11 Anniversary: 11 Links for the Weekend.

posted on September 10, 2011 by Gina Hong

In honor of Sunday, we're bringing you 11 links this week. We at prints995 wish everyone a safe and alert 9/11 anniversary, and our hearts go out to all who were affected by that tragic event.

According to the US Parks Association, only 10% of the country will have a view of the night sky by the year 2020--here's The Windmill Factory raising awarenes through a public art installation, "Reflecting the Stars" at Pier 49 on the Hudson River. The installation runs until October 25th, so stop by to watch when you have the chance!

Lady Gaga has surprisingly pulled together a star studded cast (including Le James Franco) to help her promote her line with Polaroid!

Amidst all the media concerning 9/11, if we could recommend one link to focus on in remembrance of the event, we'd pass on the YouTube / New York TImes collaboration featuring the best of YouTube and original footage from the NYT.
