BAM Howard Gilman Opera House — Attraction in New York

My group and I went to this theater for the New York Comedy Festival to see Gabriel Iglesias. I was a bit worried about our seating, we were sitting in the mezzanine row o. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to see the stage, the seats could be extremely tiny, or they would be something in our view. But everything was quite amazing, row O is at the very back of the mezzanine level. which though we were very far from the stage gave me a lot of legroom, I realized everyone else in front of me had to stand up every now and then because if you're taller than 5 foot 7 your legs will not fit.

The 34th Annual Brooklyn Tribute to Dr Martin Luther King,Jr. At BAM. The experience was amazing. I think our political figures finally get it.

My goal was to be open minded and listen and I heard so many amazing speakers including Eric Adam's our Brooklyn Borough President. He was very inspirational and I felt like he was in touch with Brooklyn. The entertainment the diversity the messages were very moving. I am glad I attended this event. It gave me a chance to connect and network with like minded individuals that want to make change through innovation and technology. I applaud them for utilizing 360 technology to reach new growing audiences that consume information differently. Maybe they will get it right. Let's see I will keep you posted Thank you Cynthia for all...
