EVENTS - Depression-Era Fundraiser!

We had so much fun at The City Reliquary in Williamsburg last week for their Depression-Era Fundraiser. Complete with a fortune teller, oil drum fires, 'hobo stew', and wonderful depression-era films projected across the back wall of the garden, the event was a lovely kickoff to the weekend.

The City Reliquary (370 Metropolitan Ave.) is bringing it back to the 30's this Friday night for their Depression-Era Fundraiser, featuring all sorts "historical diversions and entertainments." They wrote in, saying, "Times are tough all around – rollercoaster stock markets, job losses by the hundreds of thousands, bipartisan bickering with no relief in sight. It’s even tougher for 501 (c) (3) non-profit Community Museums." So in honor or these tough times, they'll have on hand:

- Pie the Landlord!
- Madame LuLu LoLo, Fortune Teller Extraordinaire
- Hobo Photos a Go-Go
- Depression-era movies
- Oil drum fires
- DIY Fingerless Gloves Table!
- DJ Stacher playing hits from the economically challenged 1930s (Harlem Jazz) and 1970s (early Rap); as well as Big Money tracks from the 1980s (disco) and 2000s (electro).

The Reliquary is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization with all sorts of vintage NYC collections, meaning your fortuneteller fees will be tax deductible! The door minimum is $10 and will help pay this and last's month rent. www.freewilliamsburg.com

We even had our portrait taken...
