Check out a panel discussion and launch event to celebrate the publication of Daniel Kane’s “Do You have a Band?”: Poetry and Punk Rock in New York City, with Gillian McCain (co-author, Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk) and Marvin Taylor (Head of Special Collections & Fales Library).
Thursday, September 7, at 7PM at New York University – Fales Library & Special Collections at 70 Washington Square South, 3rd floor, New York
In the book, Kane reveals how the new sounds of proto-punk and punk music found their way into the poetry of the 1960s and 1970s downtown scene, enabling writers to develop fresh ideas for their own poetics and performance styles. Likewise, groups like The Fugs and the Velvet Underground drew on writers as varied as William Blake and Delmore Schwartz for their lyrics.

Mindy and Jared Epstein were among the honorees at the Building For A Brighter Tomorrow Summer Benefit to help raise critical funds for the Center for Jewish Life in Sag Harbor. The event raised well over $250,000 to support the redevelopment of the synagogue space. The evening was held at the estate of Maria and Kenneth Fishel in Bridgehampton.
The benefit was chaired by Robby and Kimmy Morris, Jacqueline Muss, Michael and Rina Nessim, David and Melanie Shorenstein and Denise Wohl. The night honored real estate developer Jared Epstein, president of Aurora Capital Associates, and his wife Mindy with the Community Builder Award and Jason Breitstone with the Young Leadership Award.

Midway through the night, Rabbi Berel Lerman took the floor to introduce Jared Epstein and his wife Mindy stating, “Whenever communities are faced with challenges and whenever in life we are faced with challenges, Hashem always sends the right messenger to help not only solve the problem but make things greater than before. I want to recognize Jared and Mindy in being those messengers.”
Jared Epstein then addressed the guests, “This isn’t about me, there is no I in team, but there is an I in community, in Judaism, in Jewish, in building, in being driven, and I’m driven for three reasons. That is my family, my friends and my community, my Judaism.” He continued, “With all the anti-Semitism going on a couple of months ago, I don’t think a lot of us felt comfortable and it’s so important that we continue to support organizations that are here for us.” Epstein also asked for a moment of silence in honor of Maria and Ken’s daughter Melissa Fishel.
Supporters of the event included Peter Thomas Roth, Jean Shafiroff, Matthew and Marlene Baron, Nathan and Liza Berman, Jay and Terri Bialsky, Jeroen and Robin Bours, Erica and Dennis D’Antonio, Caryl Englander, Steve Fabrikant, David Fiedler, Dana and Adam Fine, Bradley Fishel, Jonathan Freeman, Dr. Ahron and Tania Friedberg, Isaac and Ana Fuhrman, Kimberly Goff, Amanda Goldberg, Denise and Marc Goldberg, Marc Goldman, Laurence and Sharon Greenberg, James Guarino, Sam Herzberg, Nathan Joseph Mendel and Devora Katz, Rabbi Berel and Brocha Lerman, Larry and Caryn Malitzky, Hy and Sharon Mariampolski, Brad Marks, Roberta Mathes, Seth and Jennifer Miller, Jennifer Michaels, Joseph Morris, Max Padway and Bridget Tess, Sandy and Andrew Quentzel.

Over the last few years music superstar Justin Timberlake has been in more movies than most actors in Hollywood and it’s because this singer, dancer and entertainer is really appealing on screen.
From the serious ‘Alpha Dog’ to the award winning ‘The Social Network‘ and now the comedic ‘Friends with Benefits’, Timberlake has shown he can surely hold his own with the Hollywood community and he’s just as engaging on the big screen as he is on the big stage.
Just opened, the ex-boy-bander turned solo-star and now movie star enters legend-ville opposite Clint Eastwood in Warner Bros. Pictures ‘Trouble with the Curve’ about an ailing baseball scout in his twilight years who takes his daughter along for one last recruiting trip
The 82 year old icon (who should stick to movies not politics) plays another churlish role since the smart 2008 ‘Gran Torino’ and of course he’s great to watch.
Oscar nominated Amy Adams who stole the movie in ‘The Fighter’ with Mark Wahlberg also steals this one as Clint’s ambitious lawyer daughter on the fast track to becoming partner at a high-powered Atlanta law firm .
