GREETINGS from GIANT STEP NYC to all you supporters of music, culture and
the arts !

Once again the New York Area is under siege, with our tyranous Mayor
on the rampage once more - this time surprisingly he has given the clubs
a break and is now going after the ARTS !
     We urge all you good people to stand up for your rights and support
our collective
     cultures and lifestyle before it is too late !!!
Art, music and culture are meant to push buttons and enforce our
individuality
and 1st Amendment Rights !
     So see for yourself when SENSATION opens Saturday October 2nd @
>> The Brooklyn Museum of Art - located at 200 Eastern Parkway
>> Take the 2 or 3 to the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum stop
