\*\***NOTE**: The location is in the Upper East Side. I will be DMing new members who RSVP with additional information about the exact location, and the music we are learning. Please check your DMs! Hi there! 👋 Do you love to sing, but only sing in the shower 🚿, when you're alone, or in Karaoke 🎤 ? Have you thought about getting singing lessons (or maybe you've taken some), but they're getting kinda expensive 💰? Do you just need an excuse to sing, or want to make other musical friends? 🎵 ASN is recruiting new members for its singing team. We do both acapella songs, songs with musical accompaniment, as well as duets to help you focus on harmonization, performance, and vocal technique. 😊 You don't need to know how to read music 🎼 or be an especially amazing singer. 🎶 We are an amateur group with people who are passionate about singing, have a strong desire to improve, and want to make more musical friends in a casual judgement free environment! Everyone is always learning and improving and that's ok! 👌 To get the most out of the experience, you should also be willing to study and learn music at home. We will provide resources to help with this as well! 📚 The types of arrangements we typically sing are arranged into an SATB format (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass). You can google these terms and figure out which voice type is most suitable for you. 6 \- 7pm \| Arrive\, chill\, relax\, socialize 7 \- 9pm \| Practice hours Here's a preview of some of our past songs: [Songbird 🕊️] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJPaXFEm7vE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJPaXFEm7vE) [A Million Dreams 🎩] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3osqo-BfK4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3osqo-BfK4) [Can You Feel the Love Tonight 🦁] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZEaiGnRFs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZEaiGnRFs) [Try Everything 🐇] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAh_hRvj_Lw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAh_hRvj_Lw)

But for cities like New York City, a little ol' constitutional ban wasn't going to stop people from continuing to have fun — rather than shut down, the city's nightlife simply moved underground (literally and figuratively). This is the story of how illicit drinking spots known as speakeasies were born, and how they not only defined the "Roaring 20s" in New York, but ushered in social changes that are still felt a century later. Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the history of speakeasies in New York City, and how the strict men's only drinking clubs of pre-1920s America were replaced with cosmopolitan watering holes where the only rule was to have fun. Led by Sylvia Laudien-Meo — art historian, museum educator, and NYC tour guide — this virtual journey around NYC's speakeasies will include: -An overview of the Temperance Movement, from the series of events that led to the 18th Amendment in 1920, to the complex effects it had on NYC's social life, to creative ways people worked around it -The rise and proliferation of the Speakeasy — while it created new trouble in American society like bootlegging and organized crime, it also paved the way for a burgeoning of gifted entertainers and the women's social liberation movement -A closer look at some of the most infamous NYC speakeasies , including Lansky's Lounge and Chumley's, larger dance halls like the Stork's Club or 300 Club, and secret beer caves in the Bronx -How speakeasies kept their operations hush-hush, from quietly transporting booze to their bars, to escape routes and tunnels, to tricks they used to hide their illicit operations in case they were raided -Suggestions on today's best speakeasies in NYC , both original and revival Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Sylvia — any and all questions about New York's speakeasies are welcomed and encouraged! Can't make it live? Don't worry, you'll have access to the full replay for one week! See you there, virtually! \*Immediately upon registering, you will receive a separate, automated email containing the link to join this webinar \*\*For the best possible viewing experience, please ensure you're using the latest version of your internet browser — Google Chrome is the most compatible. Exact technical requirements and a webinar user guide will be shared in the automated confirmation email upon registration. \*\*\*A full replay of the experience will be available to all registered guests for up to a week About Sylvia Sylvia Laudien-Meo is a freelance Art Historian who works in and around the city in various capacities, specializing on Modern and Contemporary art, with a strong focus on Public Art. She teaches art history at Fairleigh Dickinson University and has been working as a museum educator at MoMA, the Guggenheim and the Jewish Museum for over many years, engaging visitors in conversation based, interactive art experiences of permanent collections and changing exhibitions. For the Municipal Art Society, UFT, Brandeis Univ., and private clients, she has been touring the city for over 20 years, exploring art and architecture, parks, neighborhoods and history.

## First Builder Session: In-Person Body Doubling for Founders, Creatives, and Builders We are a small group of aspiring founders, creatives, and builders who are tired of not acting on our ideas. Sometimes, in-person accountability is the push we need for consistency. This group exists to create a shared environment where execution becomes easier simply because others around you are also building. Our goal is to form a small, intimate community of people committed to building and releasing real projects—people who want to hold each other accountable and reach the next level. Right now, the structure is intentionally lightweight and still forming. We are starting with one weekly in-person body doubling session to create consistent, in-person accountability. *** ## What this session is This is a 3-hour in-person body doubling session. You bring something to work on. You sit down. You work quietly. Others do the same. We’ll begin with brief introductions so everyone knows who’s in the room and what they’re building. After that, we’ll move into focused work blocks using a simple structure: * 50 minutes of focused work * 10 minute break * Repeat The emphasis is on execution, not discussion. There is no requirement to socialize, but for those interested, there may be an optional social aspect afterward, such as grabbing drinks nearby. *** ## Who should attend * Aspiring founders working on startups or side projects * Software engineers building products * Writers, designers, and creatives working on personal work * Builders who want consistent, in-person accountability * Anyone ready to start and execute You do not need to be far along. You just need something you want to work on. *** ## What to bring * A laptop or materials for your project * Something specific you intend to work on * A willingness to focus *** This is the first session. The group will remain small as we build the right foundation. Come build.
