[Just got this via Drinking Liberally [1]] : It's almost election season, and politicians are taking the mike all over
town. At Mayoraoke they'll be exercising their vocal chords in a whole new way. Musically.
In the interests of democracy, Drinking Liberally invites all the candidates running for every local office -- Mayor, Public Advocate,
Borough President and City Council -- to loosen their ties and come sing a song at The Tank on Thursday, September 1.
Mayoraoke is an evening of Karaoke for constituents as well as candidates. Everyone is welcome at the mike; who knows, you may get asked to sing back up for your city councilman. And if you're really lucky, you might catch Bloomberg and Ferrer pairing up for a duet of "New York, New York."
Drinking Liberally, an informal, inclusive Democratic drinking club
founded in New York City in 2003 now has over 90 chapters nation-wide.
Drinking Liberally is a weekly event that gives like-minded, left-leaning
individuals a place to talk politics.
Drinking Liberally is joined by a dozen organizations, including Democracy for New York City and ACT-NY, in its mission to promote democracy one poorly sung cover tune at a time.
The Tank is a space for performing and visual arts emphasizing new work by emerging performers, designers, writers, directors and producers. The Tank is a groundfloor venue, an active gallery, and an ever-changing stage. The Tank is currently operating out of a temporary subsidized space generously donated by chashama, an organization dedicated to creating space for artists to create.
