Slow Night/Good Little Party

Yesterday I was sitting around not really feeling motivated to go out. I was looking over all of my favorite event sites and I saw that The Lucky Cat was having some party with free Sparks. Since that's a short walk from my place I decided to check it out. At first it was kinda dead but the music was great (60's motown, soul, some rock) so we stuck around and sucked down some Sparks.

It turned into a great party, after the old school DJ got done the next DJ came on and started spinning mash-ups. I'm not usually a big fan of mash-ups but these were fucking fun. The whole place was dancing up a storm. At one point Empanada Man stopped in with his cooler. Empanada Man is the fucking shit - best drunk food ever and for only $1.

Anyway, the Sparks Black turned this into a killer little party. At least I think it was the Sparks, either way I will be checking this party out again in the near future.

Hey Brooklynites,

Here is your game plan for tonight- first come into the city to catch a
7:30PM
FREE Japanther show
@ NYU- Palladium Athletic Facility
140 East 14th St

Synchronized swimmers choreographed to Japanther are scheduled to perform.

Then hit Capone's for an open bar from 9-11 (yes, FULL open bar, not one of those cheapass beer open bars that are so popular now) There's some art and sneaker thing going on with a shit load of free giveaways, maybe you'll score a pair of Addidas or a track suit. Sweet!

Capone's
9PM
Adicolor Series Exhibition
@ Capone's
221 North 9th St between Driggs and Roebling St, Brooklyn



It says to RSVP to mastro@freehandtakeover.com, but I think you can slide by.
The party goes on till 4AM, so after you load up on the free booze and sneakers, you can hit the dance floor until the wee hours of the morning.

Have fun kids,
Olga

Update: ***Denny Blaze (Average Homeboy) Radio Interview Today

He has been described by his fans as sounding like "A Nintendo and God had sex with Jay-Z and Biggie in the back of Nas's limo while 2Pac watched and jerked off" and by the haters as "a cross between Mark Walberg and Joey from Full House."

The BIG News:

Hip-hop trailblazer Denny Blaze will be interviewed today (4/28) around 9:30PM on WCDB. Don't worry if you aren't in upstate NY, the station has an internet feed. Listen or miss out on music history in the making.

I recently came across some other excellent Blaze links for all you Average Blazers out there:

Get A Life!

Oh my God! A chance to see perhaps the most underrated television show ever with the genius behind it. That's right, Cinema Village will be screening Get A Life. If you aren't familiar the show featured Chris Elliot (Cabin Boy) and was fucking hysterical. Of course that meant no one watched it and it got canceled but holy fuck was it funny.

The show was about a 35-year old paper boy who lives with his parents. How can that not be funny? Anyway, I highly recommend going to this. The problem is no details have been released, except that Chris Elliot will be there for Q&A. I suggest checking the Cinema Village site every couple of days for details.

Get A Life Volume 2

Strokes Breakup?

Word on the street is that the Strokes will be breaking up in the near future. When exactly is the near future? I hve no idea but my guess would be following whatever they currently have scheduled. Is this a definite thing? Absolutely not but apparently it's more likely then not. So make sure you see them as soon as you can.

684 Leonard St.

This party was last night and it was a lot of fun. It seemed that a lot of people had the false impression that this was a demolition party - it was not. Nonetheless shit got smashed, like the hole in the wall and the door being ripped off it's hinges. One of my roommates drank an entire bottle of whiskey. He has no idea what happened to him from the time we sent him home until the time we came back four hours later and he was standing outside kicking our front door. So yeah it was one of those nights - lots and lots of booze. I love house parties...

"Heeere's Cutie!"

Brooklyn Loft Party

Tonight after I make a few stops I'll be heading over to this here loft party in Brooklyn. Loft parties are the most fun one can have in my humble opinion. Anyway, it should be a good time - come get drunk.

Average Homeboy AKA Blaze

All you sucka MC's best step aside because Average Homeboy AKA Blaze ain't no joke son. Where do you think Kanye got his pink shirts and sweaters from? Blaze was doin' that shit long before Kanye. No respect for the master, you better fuckin' recognize. Check it yo:

Hey Skiiers!
Ok, I know that I've been away for a while, but I've been super busy so I haven't been out much. Also, it's been kinda dead in the nightlife scene. It's been the same old thing, same old weekly parties, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, tonight there is a couple of good things happening that you might want to check out. First, for any Hairspray or Pecker fan out there, John Waters is having an art reception from 6-8PM at
Marianne Boesky Gallery
535 West 22nd St

Art openings are always a great place to load up on some free booze before starting your night. Just think of them as a pre-party.

Next destination is Lit. Come early to catch Deadbeat Descendant, they go on at like 9 or 10, and stay late for the Dirty Down party.



Even though Lit is not my favorite spot to chill since their bartenders are total asses, I still recommend this place for tonight because the party seems cool and there is free Sparks from 11-12. Make sure you get your Sparks, even if you have to fight for them.

Well, have fun, kids!
