There is always a variety of events on our calendar where members can meet and mingle .
NEW YORK PRIME TIMERS SECOND SATURDAYS
New York Prime Timers hosts a casual social at the LGBT Community Center on the Second Saturday of each month. The gatherings are informal opportunities for mature gay and bisexual men to meet-and-greet both with older men and with younger men who like older men. Our Second Saturday events are open to both members and non-members.
This coming Saturday, June 10, 2 p.m. at the LGBT Community Center. Come to hear Perry Brass speak and read. Activist, poet, and author Perry Brass has published 21 books, was a member of the groundbreaking Gay Liberation Front and co-editor of Come Out!, the world’s first gay liberation newspaper; co-founded the Gay Men’s Health Project Clinic, and the Rainbow Book Fair, the largest LGBT book event in the U.S. He will be reading from his newest book "Trial by Night, Two Novellas of Gay Love, Horror, Innocence, and Deception," as well as some poetry he loves reading. You can learn more about him at www.perrybrass.com or on Amazon and other book sites.

A SPECIAL EVENT Saturday, June 17, 2 p.m.,
Meet for a GALLERY TALK at the Marinaro Gallery, 678 Broadway,between Bond and Great Jones Sts., third floor. (The nearest subway stations are Bleeker St. on the #6 line, and Broadway-Lafayette on the B, D and F lines.) Artist and art historian Johnny Sagan, (the speaker at our last meeting), will lead a gallery talk discussing the work of Anthony Iacono, currently showing at the Marinaro Gallery. Anthony was present at our last meeting, too.)
Iacono is an artist influenced by the graphic aesthetics of prints and posters. He depicts figures in seemingly everyday scenarios that are offset with coded language and suspense. These intricate painted collages tell a story of his experiences birdwatching, a recent hobby, and the activity’s parallels to historically queer cruising spaces that blur the line between public and private.
Even at dusk, night watchers are desperate to catch a glimpse of something - and in these shadowy paths comes ultimate freedom. This public space has a lot of private going on. Everything looks ordinary until you make eye contact...
This event is FREE and is open to members and non-members. Reservations are not necessary, but if you need more information, contact Peter at: afrere@myself.com
