While we absolutely support the 1986 East reunion on Halloween, we wanted to create another option with both East and West included, and all the years above and below us. We grew up in an incredible town, so communal and special - many groups have stayed in touch - this event is designed to get us ALL together again and revisit old, special bonds.
Here's the plan (be patient with adjustments as they come, but this is the concept):
Saturday, Sept 19th NYC
6:30-7:30pm: Happy Hour in which 1986 East will have it's own separated cocktail hour & 1986 West will have it's own separated cocktail hour - just to start the night
7:30-8:30pm: Happy Hour Extended - same venue (tbd - ideally food and drink available) - East/West mix and mingle & all years welcome to join as well
This 2 hour portion will be cash bar/food - no tickets needed - and will be walking distance from the next portion of the evening, which is:
8:30-11:30pm @ The Cutting Room 44 E. 32nd St. NYC
More cocktails - cash bar again - and then at around 9:30pm, Matthew Friedman, Robbie Sammarco, John Giambalvo & Craig Taylor (aka The Hollow Men) - along with special guest vocals from Rachel (Stein) Ash and hopefully some sit ins from other talented alum will be rockin out 70-80s covers from Rush, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, Genesis, Billy Joel, Styx, Toto, Van Halen, Cheap Trip, Steely Dan and many more at this classy Manhattan live music venue with food, drink, tables, standing room, balcony, and bar area.
We're figuring 2 shorts sets with 80's DJ mix before, between, and after
For this part of the evening, you will have to buy a ticket - $35 - with a portion of the proceeds supporting any costs associated with staffing, pre-party, afterparty, band expenses, etc.

11:30pm-??? Afterparty
The plan right now is a duplex penthouse apartment w/wrap around balcony/outdoor space within walking distance of The Cutting Room to wind down at. We will provide a good stock of mixers, but do the rest of the Afterparty as an old-fashioned BYOB house party. We will provide you with a liquor delivery service to order whatever you want, and it will be there waiting for you when you arrive. Will likely add some top notch NY pizza (maybe even La Scala).
So there is it - that's the plan.
None of these are really "private" events (to keep the costs way down), but there may be some randos around (from Commack South lol)
We are very excited to be able to do this, and welcome any support any of you can offer to make the evening special (especially looking for Co-Hosts to spread the word, email addresses of those not on FaceBook (DM or email Craig Taylor at [email protected]), Happy Hour venue options & Hotel recommendations close by - maybe we can arrange a group rate).
Please know there may be some changes down the line, but The Cutting Room portion is a definite, and is on sale NOW!
Cheers & Excitement,
The Reunion Krewe
