There's always something happening all around New York City; it's impossible to know everything that's happening in every borough, but I do my best. None of the words or opinions expressed here represent anyone but myself (don't get me in trouble).
We're so close to my birthday month I can taste it (it tastes like free gin and tonics). Help me celebrate my forthcoming quarter-life-crisis by forwarding this newsletter to a friend and donating to CC's Relocation and Housing Fund (more info at the bottom).
There's still a ton to do this weekend, but I'd recommend trying to catch some sun, heading to the beach with a good book (I'll be digging into a much-coveted copy of Homebodies from the BPL), or going to a cookout. It's a long weekend, there's time to relax AND party like a club rat.
Friday: I am still not going to Elsewhere, to the despair of all my friends, so fans of Swami Sound can catch them at Mi Sabor Cafe with Swaya and cry$cross
Sunday: Start the day at The Dripping's takeover at The Lot Radio (the event last week got rained out!) and then end the night at the first edition of Diamond Life at Paragon with Boiler Room favorite x3butterfly, and scene staples Sterling Juan Diaz and Delabae
Next week: big fan of the free tastings at Bin Bin (Tuesday), head over to Mood Ring for a free edition of hulaHOOP (Wednesday), don't miss billy woods and Kenny Segal at Baby's (Thursday), Brooklyn Art Book Fair kicks off (Friday-Sunday), Still Moving curates an insane line-up at C'Mon Everbody (Saturday), Arrebato makes a strong case for hopping on the 7 line with a line-up of Sunny Cheeba, personal fav DJ Dada Cozmic, Dylan Ali and more (Saturday), and jungle-heads can close out the weekend at Bossa Nova Civic Club (Sunday).
