The Joy List: June 30
Hi there, my gorgeous readers!
We don’t have a New Yorker of the Week today. Do you know someone (including yourself!) who should be featured? Forward them this form. Foster fur babies are definitely welcome to be featured, as well.
Now, onto the GIF and the fun things:
Gatherings
Double check details before you go, and contact the organizers with questions! The Joy List does not run these events.
Tuesday, July 1: Masquerade Backgammon Night
Let’s roll the dice and have a great time! All skill levels welcome. See you there!
$10. 6:30 to 11 PM. Masquerade Williamsburg. Info here.
Tuesday, July 1: Community Craft Night
Sponsored by Cooks Crafts. Have a knitting project your cat won’t let you work on? An art project that you don’t want your roommate’s unsolicited advice on? A surprise you’re making your partner that you don’t want them to see? Bring it to Community Craft Night.
We will just be setting chairs and tables up for you to do your thing at, while we put Golden Girls on the projector (or some equally comforting sitcom). Bring your own materials and some to share if you have any. All skill levels welcome, just don’t bring any supplies your mom would yell at you for using inside the house. Work on your craft projects among friends, cozy drinks and good vibes.
$5-15 donation. 7 to 10 PM. 552 Grandview Avenue; Ridgewood, Queens. Info here.
Wednesday, July 2: Vocal Flow: Sing From the Heart
