September's DPHH

Hiya Folks
Zavier and I (General Jen) are pleased to annouce September's DPHH will take place for the very first time at The Six Ward!

The Sixth Ward, also known as the Whiskey Ward, for the abundance of saloons it held, was located in Lower Manhattan. Due to the poverty and squalor of the tenements in which the people lived, the saloon became the focal point of social activity for 19th century New Yorkers. The saloon keepers of the Sixth Ward were predominately Irish, and many enjoyed great prominence within their communities.

What ammenties are at this pub???

Beer Garden

Pool tables

Pinball machines

Traditional Irish Food/Menu/Beer
Several bartenders from Ireland too!

When: September 11th, 2009 (Friday)

Time: 8pm-????

Where: 191 Orchard St. (nearest subway is the F/V to 2nd Ave/LES) once you've exited the subway, walk eastward on E. Houston St, turn right on Orchard st.

So come on out, celebrate the coming of Fall and the end of the work week. Let off some steam by playing some pool or pinball machines, afterall we're really are just "older" kids, with bigger and better toys!!!

NYC DPHH Photos Issues....

Hi Folks,

recently a very nasty and uncalled for comment was left under July's photos and I want to take a moment to share with you what was said and my response.

It was alright there. I find it foul how you diddn't put my pic there steve, you did take it though. Shows that you can be a real prick when it comes to putting up pictures of an event. It's all good though, just letting everybody know that just cause pic of them was taken doesn't mean it will be put up. Have a nice day asshole =D

To Anonymous;

I want to clarify a few things from your comment. Both Steve and Ashraf are VOLUNTEER photographers, as all of us who host/photograph/and run the website.

2ndly Steve doesnt decide which photos are chosen for the website, I do (Jennifer) so if you have an issue with the photographs used you need to speak to me directly.

3rdly there were over 50 photos that I waded through and chose the ones I felt were the best of the best. Perhaps the particular photo you were in wasnt sharp enough or too dark or whatever but your hostility and unnecessary attack on Steve is unacceptable. 

Frankly, I am appalled to find such a comment left by any one of our attendees. Again I must stress this is a VOLUNTEER gig that none of us are paid and we do so out of the goodness of our hearts. And to advocate what a great and diverse Deaf community we have here in NYC.

I will not be in attendance for August's DPHH due to my plans out of town but come Sept, feel free to see me directly to discuss your grievences further.

Sincerely,
Jennifer (& the rest of NYC DPHH Crew!)
