    Fwd Brooklyn Brewery Food & Arts Festival Comes to Nashville, April 8

    Contact: Dan D’Ippolito, [email protected], 718-233-6634 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BROOKLYN BREWERY ANNOUNCES “THE BROOKLYN BREWERY MASH: ADVENTURES IN FOOD, FILM, MUSIC, BOOKS & BEER” Comes to Nashville: April 8 – 14 MARCH 18, 2013, BROOKLYN, NY – Brooklyn Brewery is taking its neighborhood on the road. Collaborating with friends old and new, the Brewery has bundled up some of its favorite events into The Brooklyn Brewery Mash as a benefit for Slow Food USA. Including Nashville from April 8–14, The Mash will drop in 11 cities during 2013 and roll out a roster of parties, comedy, concerts, pop-up supperclubs and readings, all featuring humanity’s favorite beverage.vc Watch the trailer here. “The Mash is an expression of Brooklyn art, music, food and the cultural links we see with many cities around the world,” says Brooklyn Brewery President & Co-founder Steve Hindy. “There is a revolution happening in the world of food and the world of beer, and we are happy to celebrate this revolution with our friends around the US.” NYC food and art organizations have been closely linked to Brooklyn Brewery from the beginning. Be it a beer dinner, cook-off, concert or film festival, the ethos of these happenings has consistently mirrored the consideration and creativity behind the making of The Brewery’s beer. Paired with the flavor and flair of Brooklyn, classic nightlife is re- imagined as a more interactive experience. During The Mash, participants will enjoy an array of perennial and rare Brooklyn beers. Helping color in The Mash, NBNY, the organizers of Brooklyn’s Bring to Light festival, will create their immersive installations of light and projection art throughout the tour.

    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID-1ST QUARTER 2020 PLUS AN OUTER BOROUGH SNAPSHOT Looking Ahead Climate Mobilization Act’s Local Law 97: The Next Steps In April 2019 New York City enacted what has been described as “representing some of the most ambitious climate legislation enacted by any large municipality in the world to date.” The centerpiece of the (9) bill Climate Mobilization Act signed by Mayor de Blasio on Earth Day is Local Law 97 (LL97) which will require buildings citywide that exceed 25,000 square feet to begin reducing carbon emissions relative to 2005 base year levels by 2024, with reductions of 40% by calendar year 2030, and 80% by calendar year 2050. A New York City Climate Advisory Board was reportedly appointed by the mayor in December as per the law; and its members represent “a broad cross-section of real estate, environmental and organizational expertise” according to reports. The board has been tasked with putting together a report “addressing all manner of questions around just how LL97 will work — ranging from how landlords should report emissions data to how the city should penalize owners for non-compliance to how it might structure an emission offset program.” Although the board’s recommendations to be outlined in a report and delivered to the mayor and speaker by the start of 2023 aren’t legally binding, they are “expected to be influential, especially given how many of the law’s finer points remain to be nailed down.” Some cited examples of the difficult issues to be addressed, which weren’t completely sorted out include: • How exactly building owners will be instructed to calculate and report their properties’ carbon emissions, for instance: – Accounting for tenant space that was unoccupied in a building during the year they were reporting, which is going to impact calculations and could, in this case, skew results and deliver an inaccurate representation of how the building is being used.

    Report of the 2012-2013 Local Arrangements Committee, New York, NY July 10, 2013 Chair: Angie Beeman Committee Members: Carolle Charles, Francesca Degiuli, Manissa McCleave Maharawal (graduate student) Rifat Salam, Karen Tejada, and Thomas Volscho Annual Meeting Site: This year’s site visit was held at the Westin New York at Times Square November 15-17, 2012 Site Visit: Angie Beeman was unable to attend the morning site visit in November, but met Michele Koontz, Ricardo Dello Buono, and David Fasenfest for dinner on November 15th. We discussed some ideas on promoting the meetings through social media and email blasts. We also talked about the kinds of tours we should pursue and the best days to schedule them. Angie shared the details of the meeting with the committee and Rifat Salam suggested Big Onion Walking Tours. David, Ricardo, and Angie met again in December and decided on the “Historic Harlem” and “Gay and Lesbian History: Before Stonewall” tours. At that time, we also realized that SSSP had two facebook accounts, which needed to be merged into one. Ricardo further discussed arranging the Maul Girls Reunion Concert. Program: Angie wrote the “Welcome to City” message in late February. The message offered information on popular and lesser known sites in New York City, especially those that might be of interest to conference goers, and highlighted Big Onion Walking tours and sites connected to SSSP’s meetings. Manissa McCleave Maharawal, a CUNY Graduate Center student, wrote a Welcome to the City for graduate students and anyone on a budget. Her message discussed the changes to Times Square over the years and included a detailed list of tasty, inexpensive restaurants and food trucks near the conference hotel as well as dining excursions to Brooklyn.

    For Immediate Release: Capitol Theatre and Headcount Offer Scholarships for Local Teachers to Attend Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CAPITOL THEATRE AND HEADCOUNT OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS FOR LOCAL TEACHERS TO ATTEND ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM SUMMER TEACHER INSTITUTE The Capitol Theatre has set aside its very best seats for a charitable program to send area schoolteachers to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland for a week of intensive curriculum training. Concertgoers can bid on the coveted Presidential Box—four seats directly overlooking the stage—for most events at the historic Theatre, including recent performances by B.B. King, The Black Crowes, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Drive-By Truckers, Phish's Trey Anastasio, and Furthur's 9-show sold-out run kicking off this week. Proceeds from each Box auction will directly fund scholarships to the Rock Hall's Summer Teacher Institute. The scholarships are part of the "Capitol Community" program that the Theatre runs in partnership with the non-profit organization HeadCount and are open to fulltime educators at accredited learning institutions in Westchester (NY) and Fairfield (CT) counties. Winners will be awarded the full cost of tuition, and in some cases also have their travel and lodging costs covered. Additional funds from the auctions will also be directed to charities selected by artists appearing at the Cap. "Each Presidential Box auction is a chance for an individual to directly support education in the area," says HeadCount executive director Andy Bernstein. "And by bringing rock history into classrooms, we’ll be opening kids’ minds in a whole new way.” More information, including a list of current auctions and the scholarship application, can be found at http://www.thecapitoltheatre.com/capitolcommunity.
