This is the rescheduled event from June 26th)We are joining forces with our friends at New Hour for Women and Children to write letters to people in prison and jail on the July 10th at 7pm.We also have all the supplies you need to write a letter- pads of paper, pens, envelopes and stamps.Why write letters to people in prison. The United States is unparalleled historically and ranks among the highest worldwide in its dependence on incarceration. (Over 2 million people in state and federal prisons and jails). Over five million people in total are under supervision by the criminal legal system. Of these, nearly two million people, disproportionately Black people, are living in prisons and jails instead of their communities. People in prison are people from our communities and deserve support, consideration and communication with the outside world.This event is free. 277 Railroad Avenue, Sayville, NY 11782.Parking is either behind the store in our well-lit parking lot or at the LIRR parking lot across the street.This event is co-sponsored by New Hour for Women and Children.New Hour for Women and Children was founded to provide meaningful support to current and formerly incarcerated women, their children and families. We build community to promote successful re-entry and lasting reintegration, and to reform unjust criminal justice system policies. We empower directly impacted people to utilize their lived experiences to create lasting reforms to the carceral system.

Join us on July 11th from 12-4pm for a Meet + Greet from Long Island author Al Isaacs. The author will be selling and signing copies of his book. About the book: What if everything you knew about yourself turned out to be only half the story? Comedian Al Isaacs grew up as an only child with loving parents, a gift for laughter, and a simple truth about his family until an innocent phone call from his mother’s doctor just weeks before his father’s passing exposed a decades-old family secret—he had been part of a gray-market adoption, hidden behind false paperwork and decades of silence.Finding Mary Smith is a funny, raw, and deeply human memoir about adoption, identity, and belonging. Isaacs takes readers on an unforgettable search for the woman who gave him life and the truth that nearly vanished with her name. His journey leads from suburban New York to the smoky coffeehouses of Greenwich Village, where his birth mother once sang alongside the dreamers of the 1960s folk music scene. With the timing of a comic and the honesty of a son trying to understand his past, Isaacs turns a life-altering discovery into a story of love, loss, and self-discovery.About the author Al Isaacs is a writer, storyteller, and retired comedian whose work blends humor with deeply personal truth. Twice named Long Island’s Best Comedian by the Long Island Press, he spent more than twenty years teaching improvisational comedy at theaters, comedy clubs, corporate events, and Hofstra University’s Continuing Education program.His memoir, Finding Mary Smith, tells the true story of accidentally discovering his gray market adoption and the extraordinary, against-all-odds journey to find his birth family after more than fifty years. Known for finding humor in unlikely places, Isaacs writes with honesty, heart, and a comedian’s instinct for timing—even when the subject turns deeply emotional. He lives in the New York area with his wife and son, and believes that the best stories are the ones that prove real life is stranger, funnier, and more meaningful than fiction

Come meet friend of the store and author A.M. Gittlitz and chat with him about his book, "Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People’s Team". Copies of the book will be for sale and A.M. will sign copies. We will be in front of the store if weather permits. About the book: A love letter to a franchise and a thrilling study of New York City, Metropolitans traces the electric and calamitous history of the New York Mets. Metropolitans is for Mets fans, New York partisans, and everyone interested in the Mobius strip dynamic of sports and politics, the history of the national game, or the beautiful contradiction of baseball itself: a middle-class game owned by billionaires, in which the players—like the spectators—look to traverse the diamond and ultimately safely escape its many dangers. Along the way, A.M. Gittlitz re-introduces us to an eccentric cast of Metsian characters: Joan Payson, the first woman to buy a Major League Baseball team; a young Tom Seaver with an interest in progressive politics; and the contentious but beloved Mike Piazza. Gittlitz leads us through baseball’s amateur beginnings to the Mets’ first heady World Series on the heels of the Civil Rights and anti-war movements that many Mets players participated in. He guides us to the bad boy years, the exploitative development of farm academies in developing nations, and their inglorious purchase by a new breed of capitalist—even after which they remained lovable losers. Metropolitans brilliantly shows us that sports have long been a site of political struggle, rousing class consciousness, and animating fights for racial equality. From purportedly calming riots in ’69 to producing some of the greatest chokes in sporting history, from integration to desperate labor struggle against franchise owners, Metropolitans makes a deeply humane and convincing argument for the fascinating singularity of the New York Mets—and why they are not just the team of the counterculture, the freaks, and the losers, but the beloved team of anyone with a beating heart. About the author: A.M. Gittlitz is an organizer and writer focusing on counterculture and radical politics. He is the author of I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism and co-host of the podcast This Wreckage. He lives in Ridgewood, Queens, but can be often found Tuesday nights at the Vegan City food stand at Citi Field.
