Stoop Sale at WNYC Today!

0David Bukszpan, the busy publicist over at WNYC, writes to say that WNYC is moving out of its longtime headquarters in the Municipal Building on 1 Centre Street for greener pastures on the West Side at 160 Varick Street.

So they’re having a stoop sale. They’ve been in that building for 84 years: that means they’ve got a lot of stoop to sell.

The likes of Brian Lehrer, Leonard Lopate, Soterios Johnson, John Schaefer, Jad Abumrad, Adaora Udoji, Danny Stiles, Steve Post, Beth Fertig, Richard Hake, Amy Eddings, David Garland and Sara Fishko.

The event will take place in the public plaza on the south side of the Municipal Building in Lower Manhattan (1 Centre Street at Chambers Street, next to the Brooklyn Bridge and across from City Hall).

You can get memorabilia from Park Slope’s two WNYC stars, Political Director Andrea Bernstein—Hillary and Obama press passes signed by her; and John Schaefer—with a signed copy of his book, New Sounds or a DVD set, from Syd Barrett to African world-music).

For some of us the WNYC/Morning Edition mugs signed by Soterios Johnson is the hot item.

Among the items expected to be sold at the stoop sale include. All proceeds go to Radio Rookies.
