As Homer Simpson once asked, are you ready to laugh?  For FREE?  And with beer, no less??   Well, look no further than The Ground Williams show, a twice-monthly FREE comedy series at the awesome Legion Bar, one block past the Graham L stop in Williamsburg.  It’s hosted by two

FREE Wine at Imprint TV Launch Party

Imprint-TV is a new news source for the New York area focusing on positive news, hoping there is still some taste and decency left willing to choose uplifting and human over sensationalism.    The fact they are having a launch party with free wine is a good start.   My
