a lil bird told me that....
"The Madagascar Institute & Dark Passage present:
Everything was better before. (Lets fix that!)
Being: A celebration and commiseration of when New York City was so much cooler back in the Good Old Days, before everything went to shit, before hipsters, before gentrification, before Giuliani, before Bloomberg, before investment bankers, before the Recession, before the Internet, before I met you, before men stopped wearing hats, before men started wearing hats ironically, before irony, before Bushwick, before we sold out, before we cashed in, before before before, which by an amazing coincidence was when you were young and goodlooking and unjaded.
Or:
Glory days.
Our tenth anniversary, with three events in one day: The Madagascar Institutes's dramatic re-creation of a pivotal naval battle, with twists that will surprise, delight, and confound you; a Dark Passage frolic that is, by its very nature, a secret that we cannot tell you; and a Time Machine disguised as a massively collaborative block party.
