Open City Dialogue (OCD) is a free bi-monthly lecture series unraveling on alternating Fridays in the backroom of Pete’s. Short (35-40 minute) lectures are woven together from the common thread of people’s obsessions, with guests coming from all over Greater New York. Whether academic or crackpot; celebrated or unsung, our lecturers all have an obsession to share with you…

JUNE 29: A STOOP-ID TALE, with Kimber VanRy

Few things better evoke the poetic pleasures of a Brooklyn summer than drinking a beer on the stoop on a hot evening. Just one little thing, though: it's ILLEGAL! So Kimber VanRy found out last summer when he received a $25 summons for the nefarious act in his home hood of Prospect Heights. He could have just paid the small fine--but where's the fun in that? Hewing closely to his generation's mantra, Mr. VanRy decided instead that he would FIGHT FOR HIS RIGHT TO PARTY!! Nine-months in, after numerous court cases and a New York Times profile, Mr. VanRy is ready to give us the full tale, just in time to kick off a summer of Brooklyn Brownstone Stoop-endousness!

  • HA! Awesome Sterling.
    Good for you, who would have known this would have been such an adventure!
  • Seriously, I was going to go to Pete's tonight (but forgot it was happening tonight!) just to hear your story. And I didn't even know you were on Brooklyian. You will have to give us the short version or post a link to your story or something.

    Break a leg!

    P.S. At least let us know the end of the story so that we know whether we can have a beer on the stoop!
