Society for the Advancement of Social Studies
All the history you knew but forgot, and
all the booze you need to forget it again.

The Society for the Advancement of Social Studies (SASS), The Brooklyn Brainery, and Public Assembly are proud to present a series of free lectures designed to both entertain and enlighten. On the first Tuesday of month, we will discuss a different historical topic that you probably knew at one point but don’t remember anymore.

This will be accompanied by fun games, surprise guests, and most importantly THEMED DRINK SPECIALS from the good folks at Public Assembly, which everyone knows is the best way to ensure maximum knowledge gained.

February Lecture!

What you need to know:

This month we’re getting you in the mood for Valentines day with some very sexy history…learn about underwear through the ages, sexy scandals from days gone by, and how the definition of a “perfect marriage” has changed throughout the years.

ALSO as a special treat, we are thrilled to announce that DOTTIE DYNAMO, “The lovable bundle of tits n’ trouble,” will be performing some incredibly sexy Burlesque numbers throughout the evening.

AND THERE’S MORE: After the last lecture of the evening, there will be a free half hour of Buffalo Trace Whiskey at the bar, followed by the hilarious stand up stylings of the Crappy Cinema Council.

****SASS is free as always which means that the lovely Ms. Dynamo is performing for us pro bono. Please consider bringing a few dollars for her tip jar.****
