Barneys Warehouse SaleDate: Friday, August 15th The "legendary" Barneys Warehouse Sale began August 14th. I know, I know, we're a day late, but don't worry, it continues all the way through September 1st. Get 50% - 75% warehouse merchandise. Be prepared to to deal with hordes of crazed shoppers!

Posted by Chris at 7:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Summerstage: Bajofondo & OsunladeDate: Friday, August 15th Bajofondo, from South America, skillfully mix traditional music styles from Argentina and Uruguay with house, trip-hop and lounge sensibilities to create what critics have dubbed “tango electronic.” This is music to dance to, and their live performances include strikingly original projected video imagery. Yoruba priest and musician Osunlade has amassed a global legion of faithful fans through his spiritually-based compositions, and as a prolific house music producer and the founder of Yoruba Records. He has worked with artists such as Patti Labelle, Roy Ayers and Cesaria Evora and has remixed countless artists from every genre. His discography is extensive and impressive, with over 50 releases to his credit, the latest of which is Elements Beyond.

Program to include: selected vocal works by the 13th-century medieval composer Perotin; the world premiere of Rhys Chatham's A Crimson Grail, for 200 Electric Guitars (Outdoor Version), a Lincoln Center commission; and the U.S. live premiere of Manuel Gottsching's early electronic classic E2-E4, presented with visuals by the Joshua Light Show." All Ages Posted by Chris at 7:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Willy Wonka at River Flicks for KidsDate: Friday, August 15th The folks over at Hudson River Park keep calling this River Flicks for Kids, but we're really into a bunch of these movies, so either the films are also for grown ups, or we're just into kid stuff. Tonight is their annual showing of Willy Wonka! The original one, obviously. Besides getting to watch movies outside on beautiful summer nights on the Hudson River, the other thing I like about River Flicks is that the popcorn is always free. Seating is first come, first served, so you and your little ones may want to show up early. Posted by Lindsay at 8:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Heavy LoadDate: Friday, August 15th Rooftop Films, IFC, and Sound Fix present a free screening of Heavy Load. "Heavy Load are Lewes' answer to the Ramones, a punk outfit subject to the combustible flux of ego, ambition, fantasy, expectation and desire that fuels any emerging band. But they're also, uniquely, made up of musicians with and without learning disabilities, which makes the bands' survival a precarious negotiation between two different worlds." A live performance by J.A.C.K kicks off the evening, plus beer after the show, courtesy of Radeberger.

Free whisky kicks things off and Maggie Horn hosts. 21+ Posted by Chris at 9:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend CouchCrash '08 - Glitter and GoldDate: Friday, August 15th Crash the party (and maybe a friend's couch) with this until-7-in-the-morning party. An open bar gets you started, followed by dancing and live sets from Jigsaw Soul, the Layers and Nik Tarascio. DJ Drunken Soul keeps you moving in between. Stick around until 3:30 a.m. to find out the location of the secret rooftop afterparty! Be sure to come dressed in the night's theme, Glitter and Gold, else you "may be subjected to fairy dust."

Pure professionals, Devlin and Darko can (a) rock a party, (b) scratch on some DMC level, and (c) make your girl feel the bass for a consistently good time. If you're pregaming in the area, need a change of scene, or - like me - don't really get out before midnight then this is a must. Check the video below, make sure to RSVP and, yes kiddies, it's All Ages. Read MorePosted by Chris at 11:59 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend |
