Sports Journalist Rick Reilly to Moderate
"A Special Evening with Andre Agassi"
Thursday, September 2nd @ 8PM
The Town Hall
TC Entertainment and
The Event Group announce "A Special Evening
with Andre Agassi," a once in a lifetime
public event to be held on Thursday, September
2 in New York City at The Town Hall (123 W.
43rd Street) at 8 p.m. Agassi's appearance
will coincide with this year's US Open to
allow tennis fans the opportunity to have
an intimate night with the star. Hosted by
legendary sports journalist Rick Reilly, the
evening's format will be a combination of
interview, real-time talk show, tribute and
roast followed by a question and answer session
with the audience.
After turning pro at the age of 16, tennis
prodigy Andre Agassi rose to international
fame, earning 60 men’s singles titles,
including eight Grand Slam singles championships,
over a 20-year career. A former World No.
1 player, Agassi is the only male player ever
to win all four Grand Slam titles and an Olympic
gold medal. He was also a member of three
winning Davis Cup teams (1990, 1992 and 1995).
In addition, Agassi has been referred to as
the greatest service returner in the history
of the sport of tennis. Also to his credit,
Agassi is the founder of the Andre Agassi
Foundation for Education that has raised more
than $70 million dollars for at-risk children
living in Southern Nevada. Standing out early
in his career for his charisma and bold fashion
statements, Agassi has played a key role in
bringing attention and popularity to the sport
of tennis.
Tickets for this
unique event are priced at $95 and $150. There
are a limited number of VIP packages priced
at $250 that include a private, pre-show meet
and greet and cocktail party with Andre Agassi
and Rick Reilly. Tickets are on sale now and

Lower East Side Business Improvement District
NYC Apple Day
Sunday, September 26th 11am-5pm
Orchard Street between Broome and Grand
Streets
NYC Apple Day is a unique
street fair where visitors can experience
all things apple related. Right in the heart
of the Big Apple, visitors will feel like
“urban farmers” with countless
varieties of apples -- many transported
from upstate New York from farms including
Red Jacket Orchard. The day also includes
many of the Lower East Side’s culinary
venues (all getting in the apple spirit
and incorporating the ingredient into their
cuisine) retailers, cultural institutions,
live music, activities for kids, and more.
Free! For more information

tween girls, ages 8-14, from across the
country to NYC. The daytime events are scheduled
between 9:00am and 4:00pm. The day will
encompass a keynote address that emphasizes
the importance of tweens speaking up and
taking action, a hands-on “meet &
greet” with “A.L.L.Y. Awardees”-
inspiring tween/teen girls and boys who
started their own non-profits, an Exhibit
Hall featuring the event sponsors that make
the Summit possible- including Dove®
go fresh Deodorant and Body Mist and AOL’s
JSYK- all offering the girls a rare opportunity
to tell companies what they want, a chance
to “Speak Up & Share” with
the “Listening Panel”- a group
of accomplished women from media, entertainment,
fashion, sports, and politics who want to
know what tweens want, and a chance to spread
goodwill through DenimMessagingTM- (decorating
the interior pockets and waistbands of jeans
with words of hope and encouragement that
will then be donated to homeless tweens
and teens). At 6:00pm they’ll be treated
to a Red Carpet event and the “DM’ingTM
for Change!” concert featuring artists
and bands that will make them scream! To
complement the tweens’ experience-
a day long Parent Track devoted to exploring
topics relevant to their daughters is offered-
including what girls are thinking, doing,
saying (or not saying), and dreaming…
Registration is $25 per attendee. Must apply
to attend, tweens must have a chaperone:

New York, NY: Before original,
vintage posters
became highly sought after pieces of art
for the home or office, their
sole purpose was to advertise and promote
new products and ideas, wars
and political viewpoints, movies and travel.
Posters are a distinctive
art form with the power to influence people
of all ages. This year,
the International Vintage Poster Fair, the
world’s oldest and largest
sale devoted exclusively to original, vintage
posters, will explore
the history of this art form through its
feature exhibit, “Art of
Persuasion: 100 Years of Propaganda Posters.”
The Poster Fair
returns to New York the weekend of October
22, 2010 at the
Metropolitan Pavilion.
The International Vintage
Poster Fair offers original, vintage posters
for sale, with prices ranging from $100
and up, offered by twenty of
the world’s finest dealers hailing
from across the United States,
Canada, France, Switzerland and Belgium.
Showgoers can buy with
confidence knowing that every poster available
at the Fair has been
vetted for authenticity by members of the
International Vintage Poster
Dealers Association.
Over 10,000 original vintage
posters will be showcased at the Fair
including exceptional examples highlighting
the mood and graphics of
many eras including the Atomic Age, Mid-Century
Modern, Art Deco, Art
Nouveau and contemporary posters. Artists
represented include many
great masters of the poster field such as
Cassandre, Cappiello, David
Klein, Erik Nitsche, Achille Mauzan, and
more. Posters of every genre
including entertainment, military, sports,
travel, transportation,
food, and product advertising will be represented
at the Fair and will
be featured in “Art of Persuasion:
100 Years of Propaganda Posters.”
