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…
Karma Carnal Carnival
You don’t normally get the full on experience of it here in the northeast, but almost everywhere else in the world is barreling through a week long rager that ends on (fat) Tuesday…it’s CARNIVAL time! From Rio to Tobago, from Milan to Barcelona to my sweet Crescent City, it’s basically New Years Eve and Halloween rolled up into an 8-ball and mainlined into the fun gland of your cortex! People are getting dressed up like lunatics, drinking during daylight hours, and promenading down their respective boulevards like peacocks in love. Oh, something about Jesus is in there too, I understand… but didn’t de LAWD drink de WINE? Of course he did, you silly heathen.
Pregame or Pretoxx?
Oh yeah. It’s one of those weekends alright. The ones where you’re suddenly wondering if those subway ads for hangover prevention are all they’re cracked up to be. Because you KNOW what’s going to happen. You’re going to try to stay mellow, but you’re going to end up raging. Our advice? Just embrace the rising [...]
Let Them Eat Desperado Cakes
The revolution will be televised and promptly co-opted by 3pm today, right on schedule.
Blind but Hungry
Like the angry fella above, we’re blind but hungry. Enough already! We get it– “winter wonderland” etc bla blah. Yet another weekend that makes me glad Hullabaloo isn’t back for another month. That said, there’s a LOT happening this weekend and it would be a royal shame if you let Blizzard #3 keep you from [...]
Beware
You’re not worried about the ones who survived?I am. Monday Last day of the month, everyone’s broke, and DJ Knifefight spins all “pre-Beatles” rock-n-roll at Art Land Bar. No cover and free pool. Oh yeah! Starts at 10. Tuesday A day which could really use its own promoter. Once again we’ve got Hot Dog! at [...]
It’s raining PR men! Hallelujah?
The Angel Sluts play two more shows in town this week. Yeah, it’s CMJ week, but does that really change anything? Believe it or not, connections are not just for sellouts and poseurs. Some of your (and our) favorite bands have connections and can get a gig or two this week. Go out and support [...]
It’s time to find out what you’re made of.
The Choke begin a cross-country tour on Thursday.Photo by “ndinneen”. So, you gonna let a little rain stop you from having fun? Everything’s indoors now, no more pool parties or any of that Summery crap. So get out there! But not on Monday… Monday Spend the evening shining your shoes, matching up your socks, polishing [...]
Heavy responsibilities
You ever have one of those weekends when you’re just having so much fun and getting so little sleep and you get exhausted and can’t manage to “fulfill” your “responsibilities” like updating that blog “you”* help out with and you really don’t want to do it but you feel like you’d be letting your friends [...]
