Part comedy, part politics and all beer: “Politics & Pints” is back April 27th.
The monthly live show returns to Brooklyn’s 61 Local and welcomes Slate’s Amanda Marcotte as guest. She’ll join hosts Allen McDuffee and John Flowers as they attempt to answer the big questions of 2016: Can Hillary woo progressives? Does Rand stand a chance? And will Cersei and Jaime ever find true happiness?
Comedian Kendra Cunningham emcees the night and musician Jeremy Carlstedt rocks the beat.

Cost is free. **But** space is limited. So, PLEASE: reserve your spot via Eventbrite today. (event is mixed seating and standing, so arrive early)

Brooklyn independent publisher Akashic Books brings together the authors of three of its most exciting spring titles for a great evening of fiction and celebration! Love Maps is the second novel by Fort Greene writer Eliza Factor, author of The Mercury Fountain (which she launched at Greenlight in 2012); the new book is a meditation on love, violence, and the roots of creativity set in 1980s New York. Nathan Larson is an award-winning composer (formerly of the rock band Shudder to Think); his new novel The Immune System is the third book in his Dewey Decimal series of crime novels set in post-apocalyptic New York. Stacy Wakefield is the author of the photo/essay book Please Take Me Off the Guest List, as well as the seminal squatter’s memoir Not for Rent; her new novel The Sunshine Crust Baking Factory follows a young aspiring punk squatter in the East Village and Williamsburg in the 1990s. Join drop in for energetic readings by the three authors, followed by a beer reception and book signing.

Mamady Kouyate is a pioneer of the Guinean musical movement known as Authenticité. He played in various bands - his own band, Les Ambassadeurs du Mandingue, being one of them - but is probably best known as the guitarist in the classic Bembeya Jazz National. Kouyate, who now lives in NY, has reformed the Mandingo Ambassadors, updating the sound of his youth, but keeping it very close to the standard of Authenticité. The new All-Star band includes Mamady "Djelike" Kouyate, guitar, leader; Bebe Camara, vocal; Eudy Fernandez, trumpet; Oran Etkin, tenor sax, clarinet; Sylvain Leroux, flute, Fula flute, alto sax; Sam Dickey, guitar; Nick Cudahy, bass; Andy Algire, drums; Foluso Mimy, percussion.
