Fire Party at Caliper Studios

The boys at Caliper Studio are hosting a Party for our coworker Reggie.
His apartment in Harlem burnt down and his family lost everything. Now his
friends and co-workers would like to help them get back on their feet.

Come Drink and Eat, Dance, Drink, Dance, and Donate.
Give us money to help Reggie.

67 Metropolitan Ave, 2nd Fl, between Wythe and Kent (Brooklyn!)
7 pm, food; 9 pm, music ’till late
Free, but bring $ to bid on the auction and buy drinks, please.

*The fun starts at 7pm with cheap dinner plates and a silent auction.
Vegetarian Jamaican food (from Veggie Castle) and Meatasaurus African
plates. Photos, furniture, art and other good stuff to buy cheap. Drinks.
Bike Blender Margarita Madness. Charming and bizarre atmosphere in a
functioning metal fabrication shop.

*Live music starts @ 9pm: Dylan Oakley (folk), Phil not Bombs (folk punk), Team
Spider (punk ska), the Rude Mechanical Orchestra (Radical Marching Band) and
more. DJ dance party goes late.

Skip the lame bar scene…Bring them here and pound a few with us for a
good cause!
