2. Olympia's Daughters in Concert - June 14
On June 14th at 8:00 PM, The Pride Center of New
Jersey will be proud to host a return engagement of
OLYMPIA'S DAUGHTERS at the UNITARIAN CHURCH of NEW
BRUNSWICK which is located at 176 Tices Lane in East
Brunswick. Olympia's Daughters is an a capella choir
that builds bridges between communities and cultures.
Through song, the choir challenges attitudes, fosters
healing, shares our hearts, spirits and joyful love of
music. They take their name from Olympia Brown, the
first female ordained by a national denomination - the
Universalists. She was a leading suffragist, a mother
and a business woman. 

Doors will open at 7:30 PM. This will be a truly fun
and inspirational night of music! Put it on your
calendar and tell your friends to come too! For
additional information, please call the Pride Center
of NJ at 732-846-2232. Light refreshments will be
available. Drawings for tickets for a couple of great
NYC plays will take place.

3. 10-S N-E-1?
"10-S N-E-1?  Central NJ Lambda Tennis Club is looking
for interested members.  This club provides a network
of contacts with which its members (men and women) can
play tennis matches (singles or doubles) or simply
meet to practice, as well as provides information
about other tennis related events and activities.  The
group also meets for mixed doubles on several weekends
each month (usually at Buccleuch Park in New Brunswick
or Middlesex County College courts in Edison).  For
more info, contact Bill Hoch at hochbill at yahoo.com

Come one!  Come ALL! To June's OUT OF THE BOX ---- 
SATURDAY - June 21 (yes, Saturday) 8:00 pm at George
Street Playhouse New Brunsick, NJ
In this time of hot-air-filled, verbose, empty-headed
speeches and reports...we at OUT OF THE BOX wouild
like to celebrate the distilled form of expression,
the HAIKU!  (3 lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables and 5
syllables ).
Anyone who wants to can join in and share haikus of
any subject - funny, serious, ridiculous.  (Don't
worry, you don't have to share a haiku, if you dont'
want to...)  
So, sharpen those pencils and bring a bag or haikus or
write them on the spot at OUT OFTHE BOX are share 'em
then!  As always, there'll be a WIDE OPEN-MIC for all
poets, musicians, dancers, comedians, mimes,
stupid-FCC-bill-jugglers, singers, cover-ers,
originators, etc...etc... 
The Pretty-Nitty-Gritty --  George Street Plahouse is
located at 9 Livingston Ave New Brunswick, NJ

gsp' and then on 'parking/directions'.  $5/$3 for
students includes some light gnosh and low-octane
beverages.  OOTB provides a mic, music stand,
somethin' to sit on, a boombox and a working (but
possibly not the best) PIANO!  If you have a large
set-up, get in touch with us beforehand, please---
pandorascooter at aol.com or Stephen at
taxi-boy at juno.com.  How the open-mic works.  Folks
show up, sign up.  Depending upon the number of folks

do their thing.  Feel free to get in touch with
quesitons...
