That’s what makes our Glow Party such a fun, relaxed way to meet people in NYC. Join up to 100 friendly members and guests from a variety of social groups for a night designed to make coming solo feel comfortable, natural, and fun. Whether you’re looking to make friends, expand your social circle, network, or simply enjoy a great night out, this event is all about connection—your way. Finally a party where you will meet others who are interested in the same things as you before you even say a word! This a fun and unique way to navigate the social scene! We use our glow bracelet color coding system as just one of the ways for you to identify and instantly connect with others who have the same interests as you! How it works: **We will have 6 different colored glow bracelets at the check in table. Each bracelet represents something that you are interested in (Green=outdoor activities, Red=singles events, Blue=arts/culture, Yellow=travel, etc). You will choose up to 3 colors that best represent things that interest you.** What to expect: * **Tri-state professionals looking to mix, mingle, and connect** * **We will have a private area reserved exclusively for our party** * **Ice breaker games with prizes** * **Our color coded system for finding like minded people** * **Hosts on hand to welcome you and introduce you to others** * **Music played at conversational levels** * **Full food & drink menu available including speciality drink specials** FAQs: **Can I come alone?** Most come on their own.

How did just these three years give us some of the most enduring icons, unforgettable performances, and genre-defining works in entertainment history? It's time to relive the cultural spark of the mid-’60s and see how it became one of the most remarkable chapters in modern pop culture.

In **Part One: 1964**, we’ll explore the year that set the stage for the rest of the decade, from groundbreaking music debuts to unforgettable Broadway openings and cinematic classics. Led by pop culture historian Arlen Schumer, this multimedia showcase and celebration will include: * **The impact of Bob Dylan’s January 1964 anthem** *The Times They Are a-Changin’* and its place in the decade’s creative revolution * **LIFE magazine’s infamous critique of Roy Lichtenstein**, questioning the merit of one of pop art’s most recognizable figures * **The Beatles’ electrifying February 9 debut on American television**, igniting Beatlemania and transforming pop into rock * **Defining literary works of the year**, including Susan Sontag’s *Notes on Camp* and John Cheever’s *The Swimmer* * **Landmark television milestones**, from Irwin Allen’s *Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea* to Hanna-Barbera’s *Jonny Quest* * **The enduring legacy of the 1964 New York World’s Fair**, with its blend of futuristic optimism and cultural showcase * **Comic book breakthroughs**, including Marvel’s creation of Daredevil and DC’s bold reimagining of Batman Afterward, we'll have a **Q&A with Arlen** — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

His coffee table book, The Silver Age of Comic Book Art, won the Independent Publishers Book Award for best Popular Culture book. Schumer is also one of comic book art’s most idiosyncratic practitioners, creating award-winning illustrations for the advertising and editorial markets. “One of the country’s pre-eminent authorities on comics and culture.” —Jon Meyerson, Producer, ABC News 20/20 “Nobody speaks about comics with more authority, understanding and love than Arlen does. He is to comics what Pauline Kael was to movies.” —Clem Robins, letterer for DC and Marvel Comics **The Mid-'60s American Pop Culture Phenomenon Series** Part 1: 1964 (Tuesday, September 16) Part 2: 1965 (Tuesday, September 23) Part 3: 1966 (Tuesday, September 30) **Testimonials** "The amount of info presented on pop culture for that year was ---astounding...Arlen Schumer really gave us a bang for our buck." -Russell " Interesting mix of subjects that impacted pop culture of the time" -Mary Ann " Informational, interesting content" -Jordan " So many visuals and stories that really do reflect the 60s which is the time I came of age. I remember early Elvis, the Beatles from TV and many of the other items he presented. I was a serious kid and didn’t get into Ken Casey & The Grateful Dead, but later read On the Road and now go to the Kerouac Festival every October up in Lowell Massachusetts. I have talked to the son of Ken Casey and other Beat notables over the years. I remember the TV news broadcasters, Life mag, comics, and the Ed Sullivan show etc. etc. His great presentation was a trip down memory lane and definitely filled in some blanks for me-for which I am very appreciative. 😊" -Sharon " I liked the presenter and his great illustrations." -Catherine " Speaker’s knowledge and enthusiasm." -Michael " Liked the film clips that were used." -Wendy " Arlen’s presentations captivate me! His deep dive into the subject matter is unlike ANY other lecture or video available on the internet!" -Guy "T he mix of art, music, and politics was just right, and the presenter's enthusiasm for his topic was obvious. Some great video clips as well." -Ellen " I liked the presenter's excitement and subject matter expertise" -Carly " I liked the entire presentation and all the memories it brought back." -Pam " Great content, even better presenter" -Steven " The videos and all of the pictures. I also liked the way it went month by month" -Deborah "The amount of information and enthusiasm with which it is presented is just great entertainment! Bravo, Arlen Schumer... for a very informative and entertaining experience!!" -Russell "I’ve taken other years and totally enjoy the course." -Carol "I liked how Arlen tied together so many disparate influences and events. That tying together is what adds the value to these presentations. Just a lot of fun. One of the better NYAC presentations I've attended. Arlen really kept it moving without rushing things or jumping around the content a lot. Nicely done!" -Steve "The presenter was very good with the technical side of it. It made the presentation exceptional!" -Pink Disclaimer By attending a New York Adventure Club experience, you accept our [terms of service](https://about.nyadventureclub.com/terms "https://about.nyadventureclub.com/terms").
