7-31 Black Out Party at Stain Bar.



Here's a party theme for you: candle-lit drinking. In a bout of
nostalgia for the infamous blackout of summer '03, Stain Bar in
Williamsburg is throwing a one-night throwback jam to that fateful
night three Augusts ago. Expect tons of analog fun, including candles,
canned goods, grilling, board games, and ghost stories. And you can
even win a prize for looking like you got dressed in the dark, as
opposed to any other night when that stunt would earn quizzical and
judgmental looks. Stain Bar, 766 Grand St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
(718) 387-7840. 8 p.m. Free.

8-2 "The Warriors" at Coney Island



The Movie
8:30 PM
Asser Levy Park amphitheater
between Sea Breeze and Ocean at 2nd street
Coney Island, NY

In The Warriors, a renowned New York City gang leader named Cyrus (Roger Hill) plots an all-out battle against the police. As part of his strategy he calls upon Gotham's gangs to set aside their local turf wars and join forces at a summit in Manhattan's Riverside Park.

In the movie, a rival leader kills Cyrus and the Coney Island gang called "The Warriors" is wrongly blamed for his death. Quickly, the cops and every gang in the city are after the Warriors. In the film, the Warriors make their way from one end of New York to their home turf back in Coney Island.

After the Movie
Members of the cast and crew will conduct a Q&A session. Netflix is pleased to announce the following cast members' attendance at the screening and Q&A: Deborah Van Valkenburgh (Mercy), Michael Beck (Swan), David Harris (Cochise), Terry Michos (Vermin), Brian Tyler (Snow), Dorsey Wright (Cleon), Tom McKitterick (Cowboy), and Thomas G. Waites (Fox).

7-29 One Night of Fire!



Complacent Nation / TheDanger.com invites you to:

One Night of Fire
This Saturday : July 29th : Sunset
Absolutely Free.


New details: http://www.onenightoffire.com

This is your Saturday night: a moment of awe, a glimpse of the impossible and the intoxication of your nightlife set free.

Several years ago I came to this city in search of days of beauty and nights of fire.  Thus began Complacent Nation: seven years of massive art parties, intimate escapades,
epic success and infamous failure.  This Saturday is the culmination of our journey - a burning adventure of the everything-is-possible realized with music, performance and the spectacle of flame.

Because you love revelry spiked with risk, this is the night you dream of.

A tight cabal of artists, performers and miracle makers has come together to create simple moments of beauty within a massive carnival of fire.  Expect: dozens of drummers stilt walkers fire spinners renegade aerialists fireworks & rocketships gifts of liquor brass march bands champagne showers a liberated water-front the unending spectacle of sparks and flame and a night gone wild.

This event is epic, if you want it.

This party is free, open and participatory.  If you have a costume wear it (the more immaculate the better), if you have a drink share it (discreetly), if you have music play it, and if you see something wrong set it right or keep moving.

The colors for this night are red, yellow and orange. Arrive in fire themed costume (think: Pheonix, Iccarus, Prometheus, M. Jackson circa 1984) or dress in red/yellow/orange.  Bring gifts to share of red/yellow/orange (think: whip-cream on cherries, orange sorbet, vodka and lemonade, rubber duckies, match-sticks).

The start location will be announced on this list, Friday at 2pm.

Aim yourself for way-down-town Manhattan/Brooklyn, 7:57pm sharp.


*This event is absolutely free.*


We create these moments because this city deserves to be alive, because you deserve the night and we couldn't imagine living any other way.  This night has all the potential for infamous amusement or forgettable tragedy. Your participation will turn the difference.  This is the start of an urgent idea that has been building for years - an unapologetic celebration of a life lived free.  This is the passion, the possibility and the birth of TheDanger.com.


---------------------------------------------------


The event below is a warm-up for Saturday's One Night of Fire.  Join us and meet the performers who make all of this happen.   Proceeds from the bar will cover the costs of the street event, donations at the door go to a very good cause.

Akim Funk Buddha and Myla Flores present:

Ignite the Fire

Friday, July 28, 2006
7:30 pm to 4:00am

@ Holasek Weir Projects

Subway: C or E to 23rd Street

Brazilian dinner and drinks.

9:30pm - Dj Sabine (afro beat/ afro house/ global grooves).
Special appearance by ethereal vocalist Imani Uzuri.

12:00-  Dj Kwame' Akbar (brazilian beats, breaks, global soul).
Live brazilian drums by silent mystic Vivian & Co.

Urban international appearances all night: theatrics and futuristic dances under the epic dome sculpture of Thomas Beale. Roving performers & spontaneous fire ritual under the orchestration of Akim Funk Buddha, a Balinese inspired mask dance from Myla Flores, a performance from the body poet Kazuma Mutamura, and a Japanese tea ceremony with Akiko 'the funky geisha.'

Come get bewildered.

Proceeds from this event will support Akim Funk Buddha under the The Rehabilitation Art Fund as he travels to Brazil to research in Rio de Janeiro this August, where he will also be performing in the International Capoeira Games.  Donations can be made directly to Projectile Arts, a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that manages the fund. Akim Funk Buddha is the director of Projectile Art's Urban Affairs Department.

Mark your calendar for the next massive loft event from TheDanger.com / Complacent Nation.

I (heart) DANGER redux
Saturday, August 5th
@ 3rd Ward Brooklyn
195 Morgan Ave.
9pm to 9am (or later)

Earlier this year we hosted an event of danger art, daring dj's and intimate devilry.  Because of space limitations we had to limit the attendance of that party.  This time we have no limitations.  Over 20 artists are teaming to build a landscape of interactive experiences and dangerous ideas.  With house, drum & bass and minimal techno from Mathew Dear, eVa, Wolf Lamb, Spinoza, dj Winter, Fflood and many many more.

Details will be at:

7-25 The Sixties: Young in the Hamptons



John Jonas Gruen, author/photographer of the re-issued The Sixties: Young in the Hamptons is joined by Richard Barons, author of the Introduction and Director of the EEast Hampton Historical Society for this reading.

Publisher's Description...
The Hamptons, the string of idyllic country beach towns on eastern Long Island within a morning’s drive of New York City, haven’t always been reserved for the rich and famous: some of the twentieth-century’s best-known cultural figures weren’t rich or famous yet when they arrived there. In 1960, the writer and photographer John Jonas Gruen and his wife, the painter Jane Wilson, bought a carriage house in Water Mill, a hamlet between Southampton and East Hampton. Gruen, then an art and music critic for the New York Herald Tribune, and later a regular contributor to The New York Times, ARTnews and Vogue, had long been an avid photographer, and it gave him enormous pleasure to take pictures of his family and friends at every possible opportunity. Thus it was that The Sixties: Young in the Hamptons was born, a visual memoir of the young Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Marisol, Jim Dine, Leonard Bernstein, Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, James Schuyler, Kenneth Koch, Stella Adler and Edward Albee, among many other gifted visitors.

7- 22 Surrealist tea party (with whiskey)



Has it been weeks since you found yourself in a public park, drunk, in an ill-fitting costume, being beaten with a baguette? If you miss those moments come to the shop tomorrow, Tuesday, at 8pm and become a part of Dueling Re-Enactments, the event that will thoughtfully present, then irrevocably desecrate the history of Washington Square Park for confused tourists and crying children.

So far we have Surrealists (re-creating Dali's seizure of Washington Square park and declaration of an independent Surrealist republic in 1917), Victorian aristocrats gone wrong(Assassination of Stanford K White by Henry Thaw) executioners at the Hanging Tree, skaters re-creating the beating scene from Kids, and maybe some Beat poets chain smoking. We still need at least one more group, and as many more as wants to show up. If you want to start a group step up and do so. We need Veronica's sophomore year of High School, lost Amish, NYU Students, any good ideas welcome). If you want to keep thinking to a minimum a group will be assigned to you, tomorrow.

The event is on Saturday, at 3pm, and should run no more than 30-60 minutes. You will be plied with whiskey before, and champagne afterwards. It will be fun, allow you to beat someone with an umbrella, and will get you so laid you might die.

7-19 Screening of Prom Date



You are invited to join the cast and crew of PROM DATE at HOME (532 W. 27th St) this Wednesday July 19th at 9pm to celebrate the premiere of the film on Current TV (see channel guide below). As you may know, Prom Date is a humorous short documentary I directed about a Manhattan private high school girl who tries to find a date for her senior prom on the internet. The doc played at several top film festivals and received some amazing press (www.poull.com for more info) before being purchased for broadcast distribution. We will be kicking off the party with 2 hours of complimentary drinks courtesy of Bacardi Coco and music by Todd Sines. It’d be great to see you there. Please print this invite and bring it with you for complimentary entrance. See you there…

YOU SHALL GO TO THE BALL! CONTEST



It is with great excitement that we are (finally!) able to announce that Nick Knight has been chosen to receive The 2006 Möet & Chandon Fashion Tribute. Launched in 1998, the prestigious award has previously been awarded to Vivienne Westwood, Philip Treacy and Matthew Williamson. Instead of the staple dinner, Nick Knight has chosen to mark the tribute with a lavish Masked Ball, to be staged on Tuesday 24th October. A wealth of international personalities from the world of fashion, photography, film, music, and art who have previously worked with Nick will be in attendance and, of course, the whole event will be broadcast live on SHOWstudio. Nick has invited nine designers (and one stylist!) to create dresses to be worn by their chosen muses to the event.

Naturally, tickets are going to be like the proverbial hen's tooth. However, we're generous souls and have managed to spare two golden tickets for you, dear viewers, to inveigle your way into the fashion event of the century (well, so far!). To enter our ‘You Shall Go to the Ball’ competition, all you need to do is design a dress (or suit) and mask that can be worn to The Masked Ball. Then photograph the outfit and send a back and front image with your contact details to youshallgototheball@showstudio.com, by the 13th October deadline. Nick Knight will judge the competiton (based solely on the design and NOT the styling or photography!) and two successful entrants –with at least one entrant from the UK- will be invited to attend the Masked Ball, dressed of course, in their winning design. All outfits –the specially commissioned designer creations and the two competiton-winning entries- will be auctioned to raise money for the Prince's Trust later in the year.

Well, what are you waiting for?!!

7-13 Benefit silent art auction (SEND OUR HOPES DOWN THE RIVER)



SEND OUR HOPES DOWN THE RIVER
The Miss Rockaway Armada will host a benefit silent art auction in New York City called Send Our Hopes Down the River. The group is calling on artists and art enthusiasts for their support to send this scrap-raft flotilla down the Mississippi River in July and August. Funds are needed for motors, fuel, nautical equipment and transportation. The silent auction will feature work from dozens of artists, including:

* Shepard Fairey
* Swoon
* Banksy
* ESPO
* Faile
* Logan Hicks
* Chris Stain
* The Barnstormers
* Eine
* Blek Le Rat
* Leon Reid (Darius Jones)
* Dennis Mcnett
* Matthew Modine
* The 62

ABOUT THE AUCTION: The event will feature a life-sized pontoon raft-stage, a skeptics' raffle, performances by members of the Miss Rockaway Armada crew, and some exciting surprises. Select items can be previewed on woostercollective.com preceding the benefit. Bidding ends promptly at 9pm.

ABOUT THE PROJECT: The Armada project was conceived by street artist Swoon, and is now being built and organized by a collective of 25 artists, performers and activists from New York, San Francisco and Seattle. The Armada enjoys support from the Holasek-Weir Projects, the Wooster Collective and the Barnstormers art collective, who will donate a larger-than-life sound system sculpture that will float down the river. Send Our Hopes Down the River is presented in collaboration with Emergency Arts and Conjunction Arts, two organizations dedicated to promoting art with a social conscience.

The Miss Rockaway Armada includes members of the Toyshop Collective, Visual Resistance, The Amateurs, The Floating Neutrinos, The Infernal Noise Brigade, The Madagascar Institute and the Rude Mechanical Orchestra. This July they will converge in Minneapolis to construct a flotilla of rafts that will journey down the Mississippi River. The group is creating a mobile cultural center that embodies their search for creative and sustainable ways of living.

Upstairs we welcome back our rude gyal Dj Lindsey and her lil' bag of black magic. Do yourself a favor and get down early for our premium open bar from 9-10, courtesy of the good folks at PUMA.

July 9 - September 3 POOL PARTIES



POOL PARTIES
July 9 - September 3, 2006
Sundays, 2-8 p.m.
McCarren Public Pool
Lorimer St. between Driggs and Bayard Ave.
Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn's McCarren Public Pool has been dormant for 20 years, but this summer JELLYNYC, a Williamsburg-based intermedia cultural collective, is hosting Pool Parties, a concert series designed to revitalize the park. Pool Parties will feature staples of a summer done right, including barbeque, dodgeball and a 27-foot inflatable slip 'n' slide. The main attraction, though, is the music, which includes such noteworthy acts Les Savy Fav, Dead Meadow, Of Montreal, The Walkmen, Enon, Deerhoof, Gang Gang Dance, The Double and other surprise guests to be announced. Admission is free, but be advised that non-JELLYNYC Pool Party performances taking place at McCarren Park may not be, so plan appropriately. For more information, visit the Web site.
