Get on your bikes, hammer down, and keep the shiny side up. On June 1, Indian Larry Motorcycles is holding a benefit ride in support of the Aidan Jack Seeger Foundation. Kickstands go up at 11am on Union Avenue. The route takes the BQE to the Belt Parkway, along the ocean past Jones Beach and Robert Moses State Park, and on to Patchogue, Long Island.
All proceeds from Aidan’s Ride NY will go to the Aidan Jack Seeger Foundation. The foundation seeks to raise awareness about Adrenoleukodystrophy, (ALD), a rare brain disorder in children that claimed the son of Indian Larry Motorcycles’ Elisa and Bobby Seeger. Aidan Jack Seeger died in 2012, when he was just 7 years old. Had he been diagnosed at birth, he could have been treated, and lived a full life.
The Aidan Jack Seeger Foundation was established in his honor to raise awareness of the disease, lobby for leglislation for mandatory screening for ALD at birth, and to help families of children that have ALD.You can support the cause by joining “Aidan’s Posse” on the ride.
From the people who brought you the Beyonce musical “Pussy to the Sky” and Whitney Houston musical “Houston: We Have a Whitney,” here comes the newest and most terrible tribute to … Prince!
If you’ve ever dreamed of starring in a musical entirely made up of Prince songs, this night will be the best night of your life. This show strings together the best of the Artist Formally Known As’ hits with a plot that’s very bad. Audience members may opt to volunteer to play various singing and non-singing roles, but spectators are also appreciated. Created by Jo Firestone (Punderdome 3000), Josh Sharp (UCB), and Aaron Jackson (UCB).
