It’s coming up on that time of the month again, as Open Mic Show-and-Tell, hosted by Paul Lukas, returns to the City Reliquary on Feb. 17th.
Open mic show-and-tell is exactly what it sounds like: Anyone can bring an interesting object and talk about it for up to three minutes. No theme, no agenda — interesting stuff and the stories behind them are their own reward.
Objects that were featured last time included a quarter with a hole drilled in it, a pair of jeans purchased in Egypt (this was before the demonstrations started), and a kitchen device designed to prick little holes into pork skin. We look forward to seeing even better treasures — and hearing even better stories — this time around.
You can either (a) bring an object of personal significance and be prepared to talk about it, or (b) just be part of the audience (because you can’t have show-and-tell unless there are people on hand to be shown and told). Either way, it’s a good time.
Doors open at 7pm, showing/telling commences at 8pm
$5 suggested donation; beer available for sale.
Hope to see you there!
WILLIAMSBURGH, BROOKLYN; After 8 years, dozens of events, hundreds of late nights and thousands of conversations about the importance of preserving the collected history of our incredible, indelible city, Dave Herman is stepping down from his post as President of the City Reliquary Museum and Civic Organization. Taking his place will be Vice-President Bill Scanga.
