Do This: The Greatest Three-Minute Rock 'n' Roll Stories Ever Told
The snow might shut down the city, but it can’t stop rock ‘n’ roll.
At least not Thursday night at Matchless bar in Greenpoint, where 19 ridiculously talented writers, rockers and raconteurs will come together to perform their own three-minute odes to youth, sex, booze, noise and a little thing called rock ‘n’ roll.
Check out the full list of readers below or on on facebook, or just put on your snowboots and trudge over there at 7pm. The whole thing is free.
