[nycfilk] Naomi's holding a housefilk

[Joshua Kronengold <mneme@xxxxxx>]

Naomi Rivkis is in town, and asked me to help spread the news about
the housefilk she's planning on running while she's here.

Details:

5:14 pm - Housefilk Details  
Okay, we've got things set for the housefilk. At least
assuming nobody's stolen our day for the community
room yet, but I don't think so. It is set for:

Saturday, Oct. 18
6PM-11PM (hard limit on when to stop singing, as if we
make noise past 11 I don't get my deposit back and my
mom gets in trouble with her building)
Setup is 5-6, cleanup is 11-12. All who want to help
with either are welcome; the room absolutely WILL NOT
be available before 5 or after 12, however.

531 Main Street, Roosevelt Island, NY. Go to apartment
#316 and you will be directed to the right place.

By subway: F train to Roosevelt Island stop. When you
exit the subway station turn right. Walk up the hill,
following the road till it merges (about 1 block) with
one coming from the other side of the island to make a
single road down the middle. Continue following the
road, on the left side of the street, past the sports
bar and the fingernail place, till you get to a wide
doorway with a set of ourdoor stairs going down. That
is bulding 531. It says so on the wall directly above
and on your left as you face the stairs.

By car: Go to 36th Avenue in Queens, and turn toward
the East River. Keep going until 36th Avenue turns
into a bridge. Take the bridge. At the end of the
bridge there will be a spiral ramp going down to your
left. Take the ramp down. At the bottom of the ramp,
make a left. Follow the road through approx. 5 stop
signs (they're quite close together) until, on your
right, you pass a red brick church. 531 is the first
building on your right after the church. NOTE: coming
by car is not recommended, because after you do all
these things you will need to turn around and go
*back* up the ramp to the garage at the base of the
bridge and leave your car there, for a fee, and then
walk back. Parking on the island itself is by permit
only, and permits are limited to 40 minutes, with no
renewal. You're better off leaving your car somewhere
in the city and coming the rest of the way by subway.

By bus: The Q-102 bus goes to Roosevelt Island and
stops directly in front of the red brick church
mentioned in the last section. However, I'm not sure
where else it goes, so if you want to try this route,
be sure to ask the bus driver before you get on if he
is going the right direction and to tell you where to
get off. (Most city bus drivers are *delighted* to
tell you where to get off, but that's not what I
mean.)

RSVPs appreciated (to Naomi -- nrivkis@yahoo.com). People to help set
up and clean up even more appreciated. I will have drinks and potato
chip type stuff, and will probably be ordering in
pizza. No electric instruments, please, at the request
of the building.
