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.

March Lecture!!!!!!!

March is the most depressing month, so come on down to S.A.S.S. and feel better about your lot in life by learning about the the Great Depression. We’ll tell you all about the dust bowl, the unique way New York City dealt with these trying times and give a handy overview of the whole ordeal so you can impress people at cocktail parties with your historical knowledge.

Does that sound too fun to handle?! Well suck it up, because we’re also holding a free raffle for some FANTASTIC bindle stick prize packages.

DJ Kate Pilgrim will be gracing us with her presence, check out her sage advice on live shows at:
