Empire Skate: The Birth Place of Roller Disco

On May 19th, *Empire Skate: The Birthplace of Roller Disco* officially opened at The City Reliquary. Skaters and skate-appreciators braved the rain and came out in full force to visit the exhibit, watch archival videos of friends on the rink, and contribute snapshots and stories to the show's "living walls".

Join us **June 2nd from 12 - 2 pm **for a neighborhood walking tour of North Williamsburgh and the streets surrounding the City Reliquary.

Known as one of New Yorkâ€™s hippest neighborhoods, Williamsburgh harbors a rich cultural history. June 2nd will mark an opportunity to familiarize yourself with Williamsburghâ€™s origins (including the original with-an-H spelling!), its prominent buildings, and gentrification shifts.

The tour will be conducted by Adrienne Onofri, a specialist in travel and culture and author of [*Walking Queens *](https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Queens-Discovering-Communities-Treasures/dp/0899977308/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0899977308&pd_rd_r=BAWKCH73G7JP5F99R8HW&pd_rd_w=7BBke&pd_rd_wg=II7N7&psc=1&refRID=BAWKCH73G7JP5F99R8HW)and [*Walking Brooklyn*](https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Brooklyn-exploring-historical-neighborhood/dp/0899974309).

The First *Summer of Skate *Film...

**Xanadu**

with guest... 

Goodskates co-founder **Judy Lynn**

June 8th, doors at 7, film at 8

Tickets: $10 general / $5 members

In support of #EmpireSkate, the Reliquary presents *Summer of Skate*, a series of roller skate feature films and documentaries that will be screened in the museum's garden the second Friday of the month, June through September. 

The summer kicks of with Xanadu, everyone's favorite love-to-hate romantic musical fantasy film starring Olivia Newton John, Gene Kelly, and Michael Beck. 
Introducing the film is Judy Lynn, Goodskates co-founder who served as creative consultant in the film's skating sequences, and whoâ€™s own story is more intrinsically linked to the plot than we realize!
