Luckily, it seems as if they've added free drinks to the survival kit.) and Time Out NY are celebrating TONY's 10th birthday by giving away free vodka "marTONY's" (har har), with dinner serivce, at select restaurants. These nine participating IN:NYC restaurants are Calle Ocho, Django, Kitchen 22/82, Ono, 66, SushiSamba 7, Brasserio: Caviar & Banana, and Underbar.

I would try to wax poetic about why you should go to the open bar hosted by MisShapes tonight, but I think this says it all: "Two-hour open vodka bar--that's huge. Also, [there's an] open Vitamin Water bar while supplies last. The open bar is going to make this ridiculous. Sweaty tits-ahoy." You get the point. It'll be total ridiculousness for nada.

There will also be an open bar for an hour at some point in the night, but they don't care to tell us when. And they are also being a lil vague on the whole cover charge thing, so you just may want to keep a couple bucks in your pocket.

Well tonight you can all enjoy your finer moments at their big projection party at Trash. I am sure some fresh footage will come out of this one so bring you game face and be prepared for a late night of debaucharous fun. Open Vodka/PBR from 11 - 12.

You know the saying "once you pop, you can't stop," well, at times, this saying also applies to my tequila drinking practices. If you suffer from a similar affliction, than you may want to check out the private Rolling Stone Cuervo Party. Come by, have a drink and hear The Sights play. Date: Tuesday, October 18th Posted by Lindsay at 07:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Mass PartyAnyone who throws a Mike Giant illustration on their flier gets me excited about their party. So when its NYC street staple Mass Appeal... well... you know its gonna be a good time. FreeNYC fav DJ Synapse holds down the tables while Seagrams provides social lube. This is either an early night out or a late day in the office... you be the judge. Date: Tuesday, October 18th Posted by Chris at 08:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Another Vs. Project - RSVP today for tomorrow
Triple 5 Soul keeps banging out these artist colab. projects at their Williamsburg location. This time they have teamed up with Maya Hayuk whose soft, ornate illustrative style is unjustified by the flyer above. Tomorrow they are having an obligatory throw down for the project with free bacardi and music by Prefuse 73 and Roxy Pain. You must, however, RSVP by 4pm today in order to get in. Expect the usual crowd of scenesters climbing over one another for free drinks. Prefuse is a great DJ though so he's worth the trip. Info below is for the day of the event.

Heeb, the "New Jew Review," is celebrating the release of their sex issue tonight with a little balagon at 6's and 8's. There's an early open bar from 9-10 and DJs Omega 1, Captain Planet and Japanster will be playing all night as well as VJs and projections. I know my shaygetz a$$ will be in attendance to peep the heeb hotties and - for the ladies - maybe you can finally find that nice Jewish boy that your mother has been nagging you about. Date: Wednesday, October 19th Posted by Chris at 09:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend B-side with J-LiveThe Urb Crew is throwing their B-Sides series again tonight at the swanky Joe's Pub... my favorite place to see a show when they do not demand a two drink (about $15 by Joe's standards) minimum. Hopefully the formalities will be set aside tonight since there will be some sort of undisclosed open bar. Regardless, you should roll through just to see J-Live who's flow draws parallels to the Quannum crew (think Gif of Gab or Lyrics Born) but with a New York gritty city edge. Kev Brown, Big Tone, & DJ Center join in. It's gonna be a late night. Date: Wednesday, October 19th Posted by Chris at 11:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Fat Black Pussy CatThe Oxycottontail crew, providers of great staple parties such as the Monday night Sway parties, is starting a new Thursday at (ack!) Glo. Two of the hippest DJs around - Mark Ronson and DJ Jus Ske - provide the backdrop and, judging by the flyer, there should be some sort of open bar (no promises). Expect a packed, sweaty scene.

Also, free copies of Filter Magazine, free RockStar drink and bullshit from Crunch fitness. Bands downstairs, DJ's everywhere including MOB's Rob Hitt.

Dj's Lindsay and Jaclyn rock upstairs while PF Cuttin & DJ Spae hit up the downstairs at sluts and aces. Open Absolute and Sparks upstairs from 10-11. Good jump-off. Date: Friday, October 21st Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Sweet SweatSpecial Reduced FreeNYC Guest List... only $5. Click Here to RSVP. Sweat is one of my favorite parties in NYC simply because rather than bring in one talented DJ and lots of filler they pack two rooms with amazing DJs all night long. Usually, however, we can't really talk about it on FreeNYC because the cover charge falls out of our "nothing over $5 range." But when Mr. Choimatic - one half of Robots in a Coma with the equally talented Chasekillz - sent me over the lineup this month, I knew something had to be done. I mean... really... how often do you get a chance to see Baltimore/DC's Tittsworth & Dave Nada rip up a DJ AND Live PA set? This is going to be one of those good time get downs that we love when our fav's like Scottie B or K-Swift come to town. So what we have done for you - our beloved FreeNYC community - is struck a little deal. You can get our our special FreeNYC list for a reduced reduced entry cost of only $5. And with an open Bacardi bar from 10:30-11:30 your cover will balanced out with your first free drink! It's just our way of keeping those NYC financial barriers at bay. RSVP here and I'll see you Saturday! Date: Satruday, October 22nd Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend A Prophecy For You

I don't know Scale, their space, or what their film and video work is all about. I am guessing they are some sort of design studio. I do know that Kudu is playing and they are a hella good dance band. I also know that there is some serious DJ talent and free Brahma Beer. I am assuming that there will be good video projections as well. Date: Tuesday, October 25th Posted by Chris at 07:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Hooray For Moet!
I guess since The L Magazine represents some of the more stylish of borough dwellers, they decided to host a little fashion show. The clothing will all be from Atrium on Broadway. The best part is they will feed you free Moet from 9 to 11. Date: Tuesday, October 25th Posted by Lindsay at 09:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Sadat X invades Timewarp
I really thought that I could not pump the Timewarp party up any more. Ge-ology and Blu Jemz - both master beat makers - spin top notch hip hop in the super comfy Opus22. But tonight, they throw Sadat X and DJ Spinna into the mix. Add an open bar from 10-11 and free givaways and you have one fine Tuesday night.

If you have been hearing me rant about Baltimore Club music for the last month or so and have not gone out to anything then this is your official popping. Start early and stay late. Date: Thursday, October 27th Posted by Chris at 09:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Trick or FreakMatt from Pay2Cum has put together a pre holloween throw down tonight. There is an open vodka bar from 12-1 and some sort of keg beer action thing going on. Before and after that you can drink 32oz. Buds for $6 which is really not a big deal because thats just 2 $3 pints in one bottle. I can only expect the music will be a sort of booty shaking houston x baltimore throwdown.

The Musical - throw a really good party. These boys know fake gore better than Gwar so expect dancing zombies, hula hooping goth girls, and all sorts of bloody suprises at this 50's styled "sock hop" throwdown. Free Energy Vodka and Pabst from 10-11 get you ready for the evening while DJs Jumpin' Jorge Fame and Hollidave Mason provide the soundtrack to this perfect Thursday night jump off.

Date: Thursday, October 27th Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Sizzle FridaysThis hot new Friday weekly continues with DJ Lindsay on the decks upstairs and free open bar from 10-11. They layout of this joint is terrible (like putting a really small bar downstairs right at the entrance having some dude work a rope to get down there when there is plenty of room) but I am willing to overlook all of that because the music is great and the free drinks are a nice plus. Okay, enough bitter bastard. Date: Friday: October 28th Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Color Magazine Release
I am not sure I am down with this new $5 Friday policy at Luke and Leroy. But I am just going to list all the free crap you may get if you go here and that should be enough this week...

But that's exactly what the folks over at Bombay Sapphire are hoping. The saving grace of this little experimental, temporary shopping experience is that they will be serving free end-of-work cocktails from 5-7 for the next four days (but there is no work on the weekends so who planned this thing?) Other than that... eh? Check the site for more info. Continues through Monday.

By the time you read this, however, every hipster review in the city will have told you that and tix will probably be sold out. So enjoy the next best thing, the afterparty. Tom Vek guest DJs which will either be an a amazing surprise or terrible (not that he's a bad musicion - he's a good one - but he's also not a DJ) along with French Kicks, the Shout Out Louds, Specer Product and more. Free Sparks and Tiger from 12 - 1:30 keep you moving at the witching hour. Date: Friday, November 4th Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Studio Distro. Listening PartyJudging by the number of listening parties that have been popping up this week, you would think that there was a shortage of DJs in New York. So instead of going out and hearing DJs live, hit up this party and listen to their latest releases while drowing the awkwardness of a listening party in Red Strip (its wierd enough to stare at a DJ all night, where do you look at a Kodak store while you listen). At least the albums are good, with the latest from Rich Medina, DJ Scribe, OP!, and Shakeyface on the... ur.. CD player. Make sure you check out Scribe Wednesday night at the DubTempo 2 year anniversary party to see what he's all about.

It's Beautiful Decay's issue "M" release party and boy do these guys know how to put a good party together. The obvious is the 2 hour open bar of Steel Reserve (yuck) and Bacardi (yum). The bonus is some serious live performances and DJs. Like Roc Raida (X-ecutioners) live on stage beside Adam Deitch (drummer for Average White Band, Earth, Wind, & Fire, and the Nuyorican). Or Brooklyn's own Noble Society bringing down the heavy reggae vibe. As for DJs, its kind of a who's who of FreeNYC favorites. Moe Choi and Chasekills combine forces as Robots in a Coma, DJ Synapse is here, as is DJ Gravy.

Date: Tuesday, February 7th Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Murderation!FreeNYC and Pure Fire are teaming up to put together a CD release party for DJ $mall Change's reggae-tinged mix CD, “Sound Clash.” The party will take place at Pure Fire's staple venue, Subtonic on February 4th. Soundclash is the first mix (with proper artwork and distribution) from long time NYC/NJ crate digger/music selecter/Radio DJ, $mall Change. He's best known for his extremely funky and eclectic sets on WFMU (award winning freeform station outta NJ), plus various parties in downtown NYC clubs, loft spaces, LA, Europe and Burning Man. He owns 10s of thousands of records in every genre imaginable, and has the skills and knowledge to destroy dancefloors with them. The mix Soundclash is a musical concentration of all things Jamaican, or JA inspired. From vintage and modern dancehall to the heaviest dubs, Jamaican funk and disco covers, reggae samplin' hip hop 12 inches, classic ska sides and rare 2-Tone, vintage and modern ragga jungle, turntablist ska tracks and even dancehall singers doing opera. Musical murderation of the past, present and future. 66(!) tracks in all. Some real classics, and some real obscurities. Some real music. What a concept, eh?

This may be a tough one to get on the list for but it's worth a try. Celebrity DJs if you are into that.

Up until now, I have avoided hammering you with my love for Monkey Town - the experimental perfomance/video/restaurant that reopened just about 6 months ago. To be honest, the food - while affordable and fantastic - is not cheap so I feel wierd sending you to a free film screening to have you drop $50 on dinner for 2. But tonight they are doing something a bit different with a Kill Rock Stars album release party for the emo-electronic-ambient-folk band Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice. There will be an album listening, videos on the wall, and free Red Stripe while it lasts. This is a great chance to check out the space. Full menu also served (go for the fennel salad and short ribs!)

Former Andy Warhol film star Ivy Nicholson will be celebrating her birthday at the swanky euro-frequented posh uptown champagne bar Club Fizz. Free bellini's sound quite enticing and I am always looking for a reason to get all donned up for the evening (dress is semi formal, jackets for men, no sneakers, no "do-rags"). Great spot to impress a date and make her forget that you are collecting unemployment, sitting home, writing a blog about free crap. Date: Thursday, February 21st Posted by Chris at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Annie O Gives You Free Drinks
Due to my recent travels I have come to really appreciate a good hotel shop. So when this lil store opened up in the Hotel Rivington and then Trace decided to throw a little cocktail party in their honor, I realized this has got to be a top notch hotel shop. Annie O was described by Daily Candy as a "gift shop-cum-designer boutique that provides all the staples you’d expect (Visine, toothpaste, condoms, Nat Shermans) along with those you wouldn’t: French toiletries, Yosh perfumes, Shy cosmetics, Floris candles, and Paul Labrecque shower stuff." So right now you are probably thinking to yourself "why would I go here, since A, I live in the city, and B, it sounds pricey?" Well how about 2 hours of free cocktails. Yeah thats what I thought! Now go get tipsy, then brush your teeth, put visine in your bloody shot eyes and graba condom for the road!

On one of my rare (very rare mind you) trips up to Boston over the last six months, I had a chance to check out Certified Bananas. In a town laden with articulate college boys who are still shaking it to Sean Paul tracks, these boys brought a definate fresh voice to the hiphopmashedupsoulfunkclassics DJ movement. Tonight they join two of New York's finest at their weekly party. Great choice since the L is not running (again).

We're throwing this one just because. Because the word is #Uç#ed up, because nightlife is a mess, and because we've been working WAY too hard. Stay out late and get saucy with us at one of our favorite spots, Luke and Leroy. We've got free drinks, drink specials (maybe) and some of our best friends dropping everything from the dance rock to booty bass to quality hip hop. This one's all about getting down with good people and a good vibe so bring your friends and avoid all the other bull$#!# out there tonight.
