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 ‚Äì 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!
Prohibition-era Beer provided by the Brooklyn Brewery
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.
Here’s your post soundtrack:
