GAYLETTER

Our New York mother Penny Arcade sent us an invite to this awesome bash. “For 100 years, the Abrons has given artists freedom — unrestricted and untethered — to produce groundbreaking, extraordinary work, and has remained a cultural and artistic keystone providing audiences with affordable and challenging experiences in New York City. It’s no secret: I love a place that lives up to its mission to support artists to the max and where the number one goal is artistic excellence.” 100 years of anything is impressive, but 100 years of an institution that’s sole goal is to support underground artists is phenomenal. To Celebrate they’re throwing a party with “drinks, birthday cake and music by The Vintage DJ in Abrons’ Experimental Theater.” With performances by Joey Arias, Jack Ferver, Basil Twist, and Erin Markey. The Abrons Art Center has a lot of impressive fans, last time we went to one of their events we saw Steve Buscemi and met Mikhail Baryshnikov. I can’t imagine who’ll be there for such a momentous occasion!  —tom
