"Fight The Trump Takeover Protest"

Location: Polhill Park, Beacon, NY
This was a quickly organized anti-Trump protest that ALBB was alerted to as it happened. Longtime reader Jean Noack was at the scene, and reported back with pictures and an overview of this protest.

Free Palestine Protest

Date: Every Sunday
Time: 12pm-1pm
Location: 450 NY-211, Middletown, NY
From the Organizers: "We’re out here every week speaking out against 🇮🇱’s war crimes, as they deliberately starve over a million children by blocking aid and through fueling a man-made famine.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What can I do?” know this: protests in the U.S. matter most. This country funds the war crimes, and staying silent here isn’t neutrality; it’s privilege. Your voice can make a difference! And if not now, then when?

Palestine will be talked about for the rest of our lives. When the world looks back on this moment, will you be able to say you stood up or will you pretend you did while having stayed silent?

BAGEL-ISH
226 Main Street, Beacon NY
Some businesses on Main Street rent, and are subject to the whims of their landlords raising the rent without a cap. Some businesses on Main Street bought their storefronts, and are subject to the whims of others in other capacities. Beth of Bagel-ish is one such person. Two years ago, she decided to open her bagel shop storefront, after years of consulting and training clients in how to make her sour dough bagels. She’s done this from Maine, New York, New Jersey, and now is headquartered in Beacon. Last week was Beth’s 2 year anniversary. Happy Condo Anniversary, Beth. Watch this video Anniversary Wish.

CARTER'S RESTAURANT

The front room is right on Main Street; if it's not too hot, the front windows are open, and you can still hear it in the back if you want a spot more removed from the action, but within vibe of the live music. This Sunday, Ally Acapella performs at Carter's from 5-8pm. With the full menu of course!

* $1,282 for the next surgery needed in Egypt for a displaced Gazan

It was so pleasant sleeping on Thursday night, when the darkness was cooler, humidity lower, and the sounds of frogs croaking in the distance increased because of the swamp lands surrounding us that are becoming our backyards.

Savage Wonder is back with a new reading for you to experience every Saturday in August, and there is a new gluten-free bagel in town.

Enjoy your weekends, everyone.

The Actor’s Nightmare @ Savage Wonder
Date: All Saturday’s In August
Time: 7-9pm
Location: Savage Wonder, 141 Main Street (the old beautiful bank building near Bank Square)
Settle in at The Grape Rebellion with a glass of wine, a sweet bite from the wine bar menu, or one of our show-themed specialty cocktails. Then steady your nerves — or don’t bother, really — The Actor’s Nightmare and 6 Veteran authored 10 minute comedies take the stage: a delirious spiral of forgotten lines, miscast roles, and lights that never go out.

If you’ve never experienced a Savage Wonder reading, you’ve missed pantless performers, actors in a conjoined-shirt, and theatrical chaos served with a wink. It is an intimate, hilarious romp with world-class actors in a gleefully playful space.

Featured writers include:
"Monkey Do" by, Art Walsh
"The Big Dark" by, Terry Glaser
"Hand Clubbed Baby Seal" by, Ron Capps
"Sole" by, Robin Ellen Brooks
"Hamlet in Hiding" by, Rich Rubin
"Don't Play With Your Food" by, Arianna Rose

BAGEL-ISH
226 Main Street, Beacon NY
Beth is debuting her first Gluten-Free Bagel this weekend. Tired of not having an option for gluten-free guests, she has dove down into her ingredient mind to develop this for you. It’s been in her mind for 5 years. Everyone will love this bagel because it’s soft and toasts up a little crispy. The inspiration is a Brazilian egg roll, so think of this as a yellow, eggy, bagel. Try it with Bagel-ish’s house-made blueberry cream cheese. ALBB discusses in this video.
