New York thread

[ADreamofBlue]

Does anybody have a hair stylist they'd recommend? Preferably in the Brooklyn area. I searched the thread and came up with nothing. My hair is getting a bit unruly and if need be, I'll just shave it down for the duration of my being here.

If anyone gets the chance to see Taylor Mac's 24 Decade History of American Music, in any form, go see it

It was fucking amazing, I went to the 24 hour show over the weekend.

Mind blowing

Justice is doing a DJ set at Flash Factory tonight! Event is free but obviously entry is based on capacity. Time says from 10pm to 4am so who knows when they'll actually be on stage

Can anyone recommend good performances spaces for a concert or sound installation? Looking to produce some events but finding an appropriate and affordable place is proving difficult.

Hit up Arkady

Hey Nyers, what are your favourite bars/clubs to hit in Manhattan/Brooklyn? For clubs looking for some cool deep house but don't mind noisier stuff. Preferably not super expensive and alternative crowd. I heard Analog BKNY is alright?

[Faust]

Arkady and Ahimsa should be able to tell you about clubs. I went with them to BKNY once and it was OK. I feel like it's not the venue so much that drives the night but the DJs, no?

For bars, can you narrow it down a bit? I have no idea what an alternative crowd is anymore. Say, you might like Bushwick, and I may wish the entire neighborhood would go up in flames already and rid the earth of its pretensions. :-)

Exactly so, Faust.

It's about the promoters/organizers mostly.
My favorite is Unter - very Berghain, best crowd. They do a 36-hour show once in a while they put on with Bunker. They've pulled acts like Rodhad, Clouds, Randomer, etc. Most of these shows happen at TBA locations like warehouses so the venues are constantly changing. A few of our members are usually at the Unter events.
I'd also recommend Bunker and Blkmarket for events. Just get on their mailing lists and you'll be golden.
Analog BKNY has a really nice light setup I will say.
Flash Factory is also a cool venue but the shows vary drastically.

For bars, my favorite atmosphere is Sel Rrose right now.
In terms of fun I really enjoy Lovecraft, which does absinthe cocktails and just plays goth music all day with movies playing, live bands, etc.

Oh absolutely. I just looked a couple of pages back and Arkady was recommending any event The Bunker might put up and there's apparently one Friday at Analog so might do that… just wanted some different opinions on the place really.

Ha, I wondered why I wrote that after posting it — such a vague adjective. I'm only here for a week and haven't seen Bushwick yet so maybe I'd be more acceptive of the hipster crowd… I guess looking for people that aren't working conventional office jobs and more creative types overall.

Thanks Ahimsa for the heads-up will check these out!

I do like Sel Rrose, indeed. Our friend Scott Mou spins there sometimes on Friday nights, and yes the decor, drinks, crowd are top notch. We did an event there once.

I'll be heading to NYC in February. Any cool cultural events to look out for around that time? Mainly interested in exhibits and performances.

The Dreamlands exhibit at the Whitney Museum was amazing. Easy to get lost in there for more than a while. Its closes on the fifth of February though, If you arrive in NYC before it does I heavily recommend it.

[Extreme Mildness]

Damn, I'm only getting there on the 7th at the earliest. It does look like like an amazing exhibit though. Thanks for the tip in any case, SafetyKat!
On another note, I realized that fashion week starts on the 9th. Is there anything worthwhile to see for non-VIPs, or does it just mean more crowds and congestion than usual?

what ended up taking PRAVDAs spot anything?
