Two reasons to go to Vanderbilt Ave. tonight.

1. The people from BEAST posted in the Prospect Heights Message Boards about a fundraiser tonight at 9 PM “to raise money for those suffering in the Gulf States.” Admission is a $7 donation, which includes one raffle ticket (oops, looks like they changed it to $10). Music by L.P., Tara Lynne, and Mark the Pirate from New Orleans, who survived the flood (along with his accordian). Raffle includes items/services donated by these Vanderbilt Ave. businesses (and people in the neighborhood):

Bicycle Station
Beast
Fermented Grapes
Delicacies
The Forest Floor
Acme Pet Food
Pieces
Music for Aardvarks
Artists Johnathan Frisk and Lawrence Quigley

Is there still time to donate goods or services? Not sure - check the thread for more info: FLOOD RELIEF FUNDRAISER AT BEAST (Link)

2. Also, a group of Daily Heights regulars are getting together to play Settlers of Catan, a board/strategy game that daniel says is “quick and easy” to learn. Read more in the Prospect Heights Message Boards.

By the way, this is a prelude to a regular game night will take place every Wednesday night at 6:30 at SODA (yes, adults playing games). Starts Wednesday, Sept. 21, so get out your Scrabble, Cribbage, Catan, Trivial Pursuit, Dominoes, Boggle, Pente…

Maybe Anonymous Guest was right…

quig goes on an unexpected tirade: “I went to the (77th Precinct Community Council) meeting. From what I could tell from DH happy hours etc.., it looks like I was the only DH person there.”

“I hope I’m wrong. If I’m not, this community is just a bunch of spineless whiners with good typing skills. Like I said before, if you don’t show up - shut up. If you can’t make time for stuff like this you have no right to bitch and moan.”

“As for the meeting itself, It came across as an infomercial (in the round) for BUILD. When DI O’Connell asked the crowd for their concerns I heard BUPKUS about Prospect Heights.” Read more…
