AWOOOOOOOGA! It’s officially the first all the way through nice weekend in this god forsaken city! So you know what that means: STRIP NAKED AND RUN WILD IN THE STREETS INCITING TERROR! With flowers in your hair, of course…
Spring Forward Into the Abyss.
As a reminder, you must not forget (lest you screw up your life FOREVER) to set your clocks FORWARD one hour this Saturday night…that means if you’re hanging out late and you’re wondering why they called “last call” at 2:30, don’t make trouble for your poor bartender and get thee to the afterparty. Or Bed. ULTIMATELY what this means is winter is pretty much officially DONE (no whammy no whammy no whammy) as the days get longer, the temperatures warmer, the skirts shorter and all kinds of crazy starts gleaming in your eye! Glory Be! Now you can all stop bitching – you’ve lost an hour of sleep and you’ve gained a season. Not that many of you are THAT big on sleep to begin with…
Fall Back!
Hope you’ve got your bearings about you, what after the month of insanity that gave us CMJ (Country Music Jammers?), a cosmically insane Halloween weekend (I heard ALL the stories, matey), midterm exams, the squash harvest, cider shingles, crack tastings and and all the other assorted stupid that October means to you and me…
Well, you’d best LIVER UP! This weekend Daylight Savings Time ENDS at 2am on Sunday morning. That means one whole extra hour of drinky poo! A multitude of fun awaits you out on the streets, and when you get home The Gin Fairy will leave a dollar bill and remorse under your pillow while you sleep!
Surf and Turf – The $5.99 (plus tax) Midweek Roundup
Greetings, sports fans! Well! It’s a quiet week…in fact, it’d damn near cricket chirp quiet when compared to the usual onslaught of events. It’s likely that this is just the calm before the storm of activity that is the month of October…Bela Lugosi awaits, savagely…
Easter Weekend in New York
I hope y’all have today off ‘cuz I don’t and SOMEbody ought to be having a good time. Thankfully, there’s plenty of ways to forget to remember to forget this weekend… Tonight we’ve got the 1 year anniversary of the Barf-o-Rama dj party @ K&M Bar featuring Miss January 1963, Dylan “Otto” Bahn and Miss [...]
Terrible Tuesday Strikes Again!
Due to changes in my employment status, I find myself more available to blog about.. well, anything pretty much. Happy Recessionuary! BUT I’ll keep this short and simple. Tonight I’m heading over to Matchless in Greenpoint for another weekly installment of HOT DOG! I’ve mentioned it many times before but tonight’s bill is pretty special [...]
LATE BREAKERS! NYC Weekend Action

Also in the city is New York Night Train‘s Jonathan Toubin with his 60′s night at [...]
GIVE THANKS FOR BOOZE! A GPNYC T-DAY GUIDE
SOME of us get through thanksgiving (the dealing with family, the possibly working the next day and the hating our bosses for it…) by overeating, but that’s not “very garage”… unless you’re getting high on the Tryptophan! So instead let’s give thanks for the cause of (and solution to) all of our problems: booze! You [...]
And now for something COMPLETELY different (this weekend)
OK here’s a couple of other things to do this weekend in case you can’t stand me (why?!) or Charles (OK, understandable). At Lucky Cat, Jumpy and Dylan “Otto” Bahn are hosting what could be the last-ever “Greasy!” 60′s DJ night if rumors about the venue’s future are true. That one’s free so wander by [...]
