tankflier12Tonight, we're going to party like it's 1929.Join a swinging evening of performance & parley,as you raise a free-flowing drink to drown your recession blues, and venture into The Tank's new midtown home. Burlesque, music, film & good company will let you to live-easy at our speak-easy, and it's all in the name of a cause: helping the non-profit presenter The Tank continue to support emerging artists. The Tank, like many non-profits, has been hit in this economy; recently, we were told we wouldn't receive a $9,000 grant we expected because all grants have been frozen by state budget cuts. But we won't give up! Our goal for April 9th is to raise that $9,000 and you'll help provide the anti-Depression love ...as you lift your own spirits & a few pints as well.
