Not-Depressing Depression Party at the City Reliquary

The City Reliquary has long been an ally in the struggle to bring a sense of history and good cheer to North Brooklyn. Originally a series of installations in some windows on Havemeyer St., last year they moved to a small storefront space around the corner on Metropolitan right by Black Betty. They've done benefits for Domino Sugar, they do the annual Bike Fetish event--they are good people. Dave Herman, a founder, who is also a New York City firefighter, is responsible for painting all the old-school fireboxes in the neighborhood with the names of those lost on 9/11.

This Friday they are holding a Depression-themed party to help pay their rent. Events will include a "Pie the Landlord" booth, a fortune teller, hobo photos, and DIY fingerless gloves. There will also be beer and appropriately-themed movies and music.All the entertainment is under $5 and goes to help keep this local non-profit afloat.
