August 3, 2005, 10:00pm: The legendary 'Wifebeaters' perform at the Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery @ Bleecker, right across from CBGB's. Three of the Wifebeaters are right-leaning bloggers Ivan, Jessica and Yaron. I'm posting this here because I think it's important to support talent that isn't explicitly leftist and the fact that they're at all right-leaning is a bonus. Oh, and they rock. Do try to make it.

Duke Ellington. Lionel Hampton. Willis Conover. They may not be the first names the Cold War brings to mind. Yet they played important roles spreading American jazz, with its message of freedom, behind the Iron Curtain. Join The TR/Gramercy Park Republican Group for a fundraiser for the Bill Fling Memorial Internship fund and enjoy a presentation on Jazz and the Cold War led by TR/Gramercy Park Republican Group Secretary and NYU-SCPS Adjunct Faculty Member Joe Bendel. We will listen to audio selections from many jazz giants directly related to their musical service to America during the struggle with Communism, including several analog gems still not available on CD. Come enjoy the uniquely American music of jazz and help remember Bill Fling, a truly unique American. While jazz survey courses at NYU SCPS usually cost over $300.00, we are only asking for $20.00($10.00 for members of The TR/Gramercy Park Republican Group). Light refreshments and open bar included as well as a chance to win several hardcover books of Republican interest.

August 27, 2005, The NYYRC (the state-party affiliated one) will be engaging in a large voter registration/voter outreach campaign in key districts in the City. In Manhattan, at the Gramercy Park Fair (Third Avenue between East 14th and 23rd Streets – meet at the corner of 3rd Ave & 23rd Street) and at Grand Central Station (meet at the clock/information desk in the middle of Grand Central) we will be registering voters from 10AM to 5 and passing out literature related to the Bloomberg for Mayor campaign (and potentially the local Republican City Council campaigns). In Brooklyn, we will be meeting at the office of Pat Russo for City Council (441 Bayridge Parkway (75th Street b/w 4th and 5th Aves. Take the N/R (N is express/ R runs local) to 77 Street) and helping register voters in the Bayridge area of Brooklyn, a likely hiding place for future Republican registrants. We will also be passing out literature related to the Bloomberg for Mayor and Pat Russo for City Council Campaigns. This event has the chance to have a great impact on the Mayor’s race and the local races. Every Republican Registration we get is one more vote for a Republican City government and the success of the past 12 years. Please RSVP to president@nyyrc.com by Friday at 5 pm if you can come. When you do so, I will give you “day-of” contact information for the people heading up each site.
