Reverend Billy and the Life After Shopping Choir's Holiday Revival concert! December 12.
".. we're 1/5th the price of the Rockettes, twice the fun, and the Choir is ten times sexier!" 8:00pm.
REVEREND BILLY TALEN DECREES "BLESSED ARE THE JOBLESS! BLESSED ARE THE BROKE!"
As American unemployment hit the double digits in November, the highest in over 25 years, Reverend Billy Talen has a message of Peace on Earth and peace of mind for Brooklynites facing the holidays amid financial uncertainty.
"You don't have to buy a gift to give a gift" says Talen, of the Church of Life After Shopping. "Consumerism enforces a bizzaro-world morality around the holidays, where we don't feel guilty for indulging but instead feel guilty for not indulging and spending enough! We're telling Brooklyn: You can have a guilt-free, debt-free Christmas this year. Don't charge Christmas on the credit card, SAVE Christmas by spending time with your family and community."
New Yorkers can tap into the holiday spirit of buylessness by joining Reverend Billy and his 40 voice, Life After Shopping Gospel Choir at the Brooklyn Lyceum on Saturday December 12, 2009 at 8pm.
Tickets are a sensible $10.00. As often the case with Church Of Life After Shopping "fabulous worships", no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The Rev notes that "we're 1/5th the price of the Rockettes, twice the fun, and the Choir is ten times sexier!"
ABOUT THE CHURCH:
Through performance and direct action the Church of Life After Shopping works with communities around the world to PUSH BACK the Devil's Monoculture, the big boxes and chains, the brain-freezing ad-bath...And PUSH FOR our First Amendment rights of free speech, press and assembly.
