This is IT! The big game weekend is here! Are you ready? Do you have your face paint? Did you stock up on Natty Ice? Do you have enough wing sauce to inject into your friends veins AS WELL as your own? I sure do. Where will YOU be watching this weekend’s Boggle World Championship???? [...]
On, Blitzen!
The weather outside is…not frightful? For now, anyway. But the flurry of happenings is DELIGHTFUL for those with festive hearts and strong constitutions! Yep, it’s another holiday season in NYC for the mad kids and the ravers – tons of parties before we even get CLOSE to the madhouse of a weekend coming up, with [...]
Thee Bat @ Ottos Shrunken Head, November 4, 2011
Tokyo’s Thee Bat took the stage at Ottos this past Friday evening as part of the Go Go Gorilla Vol. 8 party. Opening up for them were NY’s own Dirty Shames. Be sure to catch Thee Bat this weekend as they invade Brooklyn. Think about it. Who else would go halfway around the world for [...]
Time Gone Batty
Hey kids! Happy weekend, and Congratulations on surviving October! You deserve a cookie! OR a slap on the bum! Hope you’re well rested because the fun don’t stop for nobody: we’ve got a fully stocked cabinet of fun this weekend, and of course NEXT week is the HUGE 25th Anniversay Norton Records Blowout (which we [...]
Children of the Sun…Tumbling Through the Night
These are the days where New York really let’s it hang out, the beautiful early days of heat where the streets turn sexy and insidious, like a 70′s Scorsese film…What’s wild in the night this Wednesday and Thursday? YOU.
Everything All at Once
Everything all at once. It is the folly of gluttons, hedonists, most Scorpios I know and compulsive gamblers alike. This is the weekend to embrace that philosophy as there is so very much going on – and all of it good. There’s no avoiding it – you’re going to miss out on SOMETHING amazing no matter what you choose because unfortunately you don’t have Godlike powers and you can’t do it all. Pity the ones who try! Oh, the horrors! Oh the Thrills!
Just Chillin’. No, Seriously, I’m Going to Lose a Thumb to Frostbite.
Chestnuts roasting in an oil drum fire, Jack Frost mugging you for your iPhone…though it is said, many times, many ways, it’s friggin’ cold outside, baby!!!!! Feel that Krispy Kringle chill in the air as we stomp through the various winter holidays of your particular denomination. In celebration of my favorite (the PAGAN), let’s us count the ways we can wantonly occupy ourselves in pursuit of high fun and rock and roll pleasure on these short days and long dark nights over the next couple…
Jive As…a Turkey. Stuffed as a Boar.
Thanksgiving in NYC is so COOOOOOL because the city turns abandoned and quiet like Zombieland and you can do what you WANT! Gather up all your ex-pat friends, your Thanksgiving orphans and your too-broke-for-Amtrak brethren, throw open the doors of your hearth and have yourself a FEAST for FREAKS! Roasted turkey with Four-Loko glaze and instant magic mushroom potatoes, anyone?
Le Weekender
There are weekends and there are weekenders. These are the kinds of nights that all true warriors strive for. These are the nights we throw in the faces of haters and fakers who dare to tell you rock and roll, nay, that even FUN itself, is dead in New York City.
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!
