02-14 Brooklyn, NY – Union Pool: Panache Booking presents New York Night Train’s VD (Valentine’s Day) VILLAGE OF LOVE 2-Room Extravaganza!, 10PM-2AM, FREE Here’s the deal, instead of the usual NYNT Valentines Day cynicism, we are employing good old fashioned Situationalist detournement to take this thing to the next level by turning the lamest ‘holiday’ on its head. Instead of being about insecurity and buying stuff, we are gonna make it about real love and giving and fun. First off, we are gonna give all the proceeds to Planned Parenthood – so your good times will also be for a great cause. Secondly, we are using an old standard to create a new concept in meeting people – THE DANCE CARD. In the front of room there’s dancing to upbeat love-related songs with Andy Maltz (Little Killers), Drew Redmond (Finger Lickin’ Friday), Leah Fishman (Nouvellas). If you meet someone you like, you can ask them to sign your dance card and take them to the make-out room out back for a romantic couples dance with DJs Jonathan Toubin (NY Night Train), Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus and GirlSoul (Dynagroove, Discophonic Walk, etc), and Leah Fishman. The material in the back will range from the slower “I Only Have Eyes For You”/”Sleepwalk” tempo to the more rhythmic “Love Is Strange”/”Cry to Me” speed – but all will be suitable for dancing up close and personal. Since the dance card has room for a number of names, it frees dancers from obligation to a single individual and encourages them to try out a number of dance partners. We hope that this process will make you new friends and maybe even find you that certain someone. While this is designed with singles in mind, the back room is also for couples who want a romantic night of dancing to music that doesn’t suck. Also, don’t miss the dating game (11pm) and the raffle (12am – details below – check out the incredible list of prizes!). WE ARE GONNA HAVE FUN!
