The text reads [LOISAIDA SOCIAL HOUSE / invites you to / an evening with: / GORDON PARKS jr / SUPERFLY / AARON LOVE ANGELA / DIRECTOR OF : BUSHROD / 2 THE HARD WAY / TOMASINA / EDGAR & PUPA / songs of P.R. & others / BIMBO RIVAS -POET/ (short eyes) / SEPT. 24-FRI / 10 p.m. -6a.m. / DONATION $1 / refreshments / c / o / m / e / to / TUCASA DISCO / 95 AVE B]. Along the left edge of the flier are several lines of cut off text, appearing to be partial addresses for locations in the East Village and Loisaida neighborhoods of New York City. On the verso, faint typewritten text appears backwards in two columns, the heading of each reads (backwards) [LOISAIDA SOCIAL HOUSE SUGGESTS] with lists of restaurants and other establishments around the Loisaida neighborhood. There is also a handwritten inscription in graphite reading [1976].
