Half Hollow Hills East/West 40th-ish Reunion (All years welcome!!)

While we absolutely support the 1986 East reunion on Halloween, we wanted to create another, less expensive, more informal 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
6:30-8:30pm: Happy Hour
at
Amelia's
450 Park Ave. S (bet 30th & 31st) NYC
This portion will be all just convo/catching up with each other - cash bar/food - no tickets needed - and is just 1 1/2 blocks 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, some drumming from Darren Elpant, 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), so there may be some randos around (from Commack South lol)
We are very excited to be able to do this, and welcome any support that any of you can offer to make the evening special (especially looking for Co-Hosts to spread the word - plz email addresses of those not on FaceBook by DM'ing or emailing Craig Taylor at [email protected])
Cheers & Excitement,
The Reunion Krewe
