Public Service Announcement #92876820-G

Today I’m just doing my part to spread the love and pass on a bit of important information to my fellow New Yorkers. This email was sent to me by a close family friend. Those of you who live outside of New York don’t have to read any further unless you think you might want to attend.

Hello friends,

Sorry for the mass email but I wanted to let you know about an event I am working on and think you would be interested in participating. As some if you may know, I have been working on the upcoming “Listening to the City” event for the past 2 months. I invite you to register and help spread the word to others who you think may be interested.

“Listening to the City” will take place on July 20,2002 at the Jacob Javits Center and will bring together 5,0000 people from diverse populations to discuss the proposals and plans relating to the re-building of Lower Manhattan and a creation of a memorial to the victims of September 11th. The event uses interactive technology and face to face dialogue for a 21st century town hall-style meeting.

The event is being organized by the Civic Alliance to Rebuild Downtown NY, a coalition of 85 civic, labor, business, environmental groups and academic institutions who was formed to promote and ensure civic participation in the process and decisions being made relating to the remembering and rebuilding of Lower Manhattan.

Individuals can register by calling 800-862-3154 or by clicking here. It is a day-long event and we ask you to participate the entire day. The event is free but space is limited. Please register early.

Don’t worry, I’ll be back to my silly self tomorrow. But if it helps you at all, I’m writing this wearing Pokemon Underoos and drinking Juicy-Juice out of a pink dribble glass.

Oh yeah, and I just farted. Loudly.
