Rebecca's fave is the F because it helped her through a recent existential crisis. As the F Train Oracle, she’ll give transportational tarot reads! Melissa's favorite line varies: above-ground in the summer, deep underground in the winter. She’ll perform the things people scream when a sick passenger causes a delay. Sundae Fantastique loves the L! She’ll loop her voice through guitar pedals and sing a song that sounds like being alone, waiting for a train at 3am. SuzQ represents the golden line, the NW. She’s a natural redhead who has produced the Miss Black Rock City Pageant around the world!

Anna Paone favors the 6 because it passes through abandoned stations, like City Hall. She’ll sing a parody of Sondheim’s “Another Hundred People.” Mermaid Laura relies on public transit. Swimming can’t get you everywhere. She loves the 2nd Ave line because, like her, it’s half myth. She'll present an embarrassing subway story and a monologue from *Steel Magnolias* while using Shake Weights. ## More Upcoming Events Sara Velas on the Velaslavasay Panorama

*Land of the Free*
October 5 - December 3, 2017
Free Opening Reception: Friday, October 6 at 7 PM ***Land of the Free*** captures the daily life of Moeinedin Shashaei, a newly immigrated Iranian US resident facing the absurdity of vilification.

The show presents some of Shashaei's 90 photographs taken in the 90 days immediately following the signing of Executive Order 13769, entitled, "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry to the United States" and commonly referred to as the "travel ban." It stands as an homage to all the memories forged by the artist in a city that he loves dearly.

**A **[**free opening reception **](http://cityreliquary.org/landopen)**on Friday, October 6 at 7 PM will include light refreshments. Brooklyn Brewery beer by suggested donation.** ## More Reliquary News
