Are you unemployed? Well, today's your lucky day, because you get a chance to take part in The Unemployment Olympics starting at 1:30pm at Tompkins Square Park.  All you need to bring is your proof of unemployment (ie: NYC unemployment card, letter from old employer, bank statement). With sponsores like Lula's and Pommes Frites, you know this is going to be a great day! Events will include the fax machine toss, "You're Fired" race, Pinata, and Pin the Blame on the Boss.
