**Reliquary Recommendations**

You may remember **Robin Nagle** from April's [Member Trip to Dead Horse Bay](https://www.6sqft.com/take-a-tour-of-dead-horse-bay-brooklyns-hidden-trove-of-trash-and-treasures/) -- and tonight you'll have another chance to hear the Department of Sanitation anthropologist-in-residence wax poetic about NYC's trash.

At Unteachables, Matthew Starr and Monique Moses assemble a class of  stand up comedians to get schooled by an amazing teacher/expert at Caveat, in Manhattan.
