11-06 Washington, DC – Bohemian Caverns: special BYT election night SOUL CLAP and DANCE-OFF w/JONATHAN TOUBIN and contest selector KID CONGO POWERS plus three floors of election results, eating contests, DJs, and more facebook event / advance tickets
what a week! how’s everybody holding up out there? my first two cancellations this week, in new orleans, resulted in two local gigs to benefit the red cross’ hurricane effort. the first, an improvised day-of party in the back of union pool resulted in a $1500 donation from the club and alana amram’s monster mash at glasslands last night raised more than $2,200. as for tomorrow, my appearance at wfmu record fair was cancelled because there’s no record fair this year! it’s like losing christmas (or in the case of jersey, halloween…). anyhow, to make matters worse, sandy knocked wfmu off the air and their studio and transmitter sites are in need of repair. if any of you enjoy wfmu, this would be an excellent time to contribute to their great cause. go here to donate and get some great gifts in return. SHAKIN’ ALL OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN at HOME SWEET HOME is now cancelled this week – for the first time in over 200 fridays! next, los globos, the venue for saturday’s LOS ANGELES SOUL CLAP & DANCE-OFF got shut down monday night! but the good news is that the good folks at THE MONTY BAR are now hosting our event. you should send me some of your friends. NEIL HAMBURGER is my contest selector and the judges are ARIEL PINK, ERIC ANDRE, CLOWNVIS PRESLEY, JENNIFER HERREMA, and SHEILA VAND. and, in my first stable gig in ten days, tuesday brightest young things are bringing me to WASHINGTON, D.C. to do the soul clap at their ELECTION NIGHT PARTY at the iconic BOHEMIAN CAVERNS (yes of ramsey lewis “live at bohemian caverns” fame). finally, i know that many of you have a lot to deal with right now but i also know a most of you have more time on your hands than usual and not only would i like to encourage you to help your fellow new yorkers out in a more official capacity (WNYC made this excellent list of places to volunteer around town), but you can follow me to norton records today and tomorrow to help them save their inventory from the storm. its gonna be fun, here’s a short letter from the norton crew. come to their clean up party and pass this along…
