(ARCHIVE C. SPOT LIST)
To all the Urban Explorers,
the Children of the Wild, and
the Fallen Angels Rising:
It is undeniable, we are slowly coming to the Springtime. Despite
persistant waves of cold, there are buds of new life peeking from
cracked concrete and so very much to explore and to find and to
discover.
Saturday Night -- Come and join us for New Lost City : Revival
...a celebration of our inner sinner and our inner saint...
(we are the fallen angels and we will rise together)
C. Spot Designs will be presenting some costume art at this event --
for complementary angel dust or sinful decorations find Miss C.
You are invited to:
New Lost City : Revival : Saturday March 25th
A night of vice, virtue and everything in between.
7pm to 7am @ 69 West 14th St.
on the corner of 6th Ave., Manhattan
Details: http://www.newlostcity.com
On this night find nirvana with a kiss of liquor, a touch of
beauty and the throb of intoxicating beats. This party is
one part speakeasy and three parts soul stirring revival with
sinners and saints, devils and divas, Reverends and
revolutionaries shaking-ass and cleansing souls on the alter
of beats and dance.
This is how we save ourselves.
This Saturday we are opening up three large rooms and a
rooftop on an otherwise anonymous corner of Manhattan, one
room of vice, one room of virtue and one room to celebrate
the sins we share.
Featuring:
The infamous Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping
at 8:30pm with live gospel from the choir backing stories
from their recent nationwide tour converting consumers
throughout the middle of America. [revbilly.com]
Reverend Vince Anderson & the Love Choir is the originator and
benevolent king of the grime gospel movement. The Rev is back
from his European Tour with a revived spirit and exuberance
that is guaranteed to make you scream Hallelujah. The first
set is at 9:30pm. [reverendvince.com]
God is My Copilot returns with a new twist on their
queercore rock sound. Blending beats with new vocals on top
of their classic sound, they've created an inspired music
beyond anything they've created in their 15+ years of touring.
After midnight you can't help but dance to breaks, house and
intelligent techno from masters of the genre. A bit of
lust, the salt of sweat and the love of groove will move you
to amazing sound from:
Dave Hollands - through his long career as a DJ and mood
conductor, David Hollands has become world famous for doing
what he does best: moving bodies and stimulating the mind.
[ minimalwage.com ]
Wolf + Lamb - The high priests of NYC intelligent techno
made famous at the Marcy Hotel. [ wolflambmusic.com ]
DJ Spinoza - One of the city's best loved DJ's, his beat
shaker sound will move you past sunrise. [ klever.org ]
DJ Ripley - Recently relocated to San Francisco, she returns
for this night to move you to west coast influenced hip-hop and
drum n' bass.
DJ Grimace mixes up old-school hip-hop and electro graffiti
culture into a mix that always pleases the crowd.
Jimmy Jackson - Specializes in collecting eclectic and rarely
heard music from around the world in the gamalon style.
Plus: Winkel presents the harem for lost souls, a cozy lounge
featuring hookas by Balk Tick and Hooka Mike, secret
elixers and video projections. Chai Tea tent built by
wandering Australians. Roving belly-dance and world
influenced spiritual ritual curated by Akim Funk Budha and
costumes designed by C-Spot designs.
This Saturday, bare your soul...
For you, the Angels: Come dressed in your own idea of
angelic beauty, of cherubic mischief, of the virgin you
once were. For the good costumes we have free Angel Elixer:
vanilla gelato mixed with vanilla vodka or Irish cream.
For you the Devils: Come costumed in your visions of the
scandalous, the sultry or the brilliantly corrupt. For this
you drink free from the Elixer of Fire made with hard rum

Wild Wild Brooklyn
**C.Spot Designs will be creating a live and living art piece at this very special event... Hope to c u all out there**
Blackkat.org, Complacent Nation,
T. Beale, and Nine90 invite you to:
Wild Wild Brooklyn
A real-time exploration of the out-of-control.
This Saturday, March 4th
Arrive after 10pm and stay until much later.
At our new 9,000+ sqft. home of danger:
313 Meserole St. - East Williamsburg Brooklyn
Details: www.wildwildbrooklyn.com
What is it?
Big music; intimate spaces; sultry dance floors; dangerous art; glimpses of nudity; climbable sculpture; fantastic costumes; fire and moonshine; hidden spaces; beautiful stars; floor shaking bass; kisses from strangers; the Brooklyn frontier; the inescapable dream; the sweetness of sweat; the never-expected; the exploration; the free; the you putting the Wild into Wild Wild Brooklyn.
How does is it sound?
A touch of techno and a glimmer of breaks with dub, house and live experiments for flavor. In the Wild you are guaranteed to dance.
In the room of wood:
Lenny Dee [Industrial Strength], David Hollands [Minimalwage.Com], +Liondub+ [Chopstick], Jason Bk [Blackkat.Org]; and performances starting at 10pm from:
Jimmy Jackson [Howie Wreckhords] Spinning vintage rare field recordings from Africa, Asia, and Polynesia then Hopfrog’s Drum Jester Devotional [NightonEarth Los Angeles] A Middle-Eastern inspired lofi dub duo.
In the room of brick:
*Live* tight experiments in sound/dance design from Riipiit: [Riposte Records, Paris], Tzii [NightOnEarth, Belgium], Lance Blisters [Share NYC], David Last [The Agriculture] Madaro [Blackkat.Org], Naked Slice [Renegadevirus].
How does it look?
This is the start of a six week interactive art installation focused on climbable sculpture interactive video nooks, and discreet performance spaces featuring the Village of Shadows by will (nation) with hookahs from Balk Tick, gift costumes and live painting by C-Spot Designs, explore Fort Box built by Bunny, the big visual by Olga Naiman, video projections and the magic laser box by ImageNode, plus the foundation of the big sculpture by Tom Beale the woodsman.
How to get there?
The L train isn’t running this weekend but you love adventure and a bike/cab ride through Brooklyn is as good as it gets.
The location is at:
313 Meserole St.
2 blocks from Bushwick Ave. and the Montrose Stop on the subway (shuttle busses this weekend).
View the map at: www.wildwildbrooklyn.com
From the Lower East Side it is $12 cab ride. But, we will make up the travel cost with the discounts below…
How much?
*Free* if you work at it.
$10 otherwise.
To get in for cheap:
Get $5 off by coming in costume or
Get $7 off by coming in a costume that lights up
and/or get $3 off by coming on bike (free indoor bike parking!)
Arrive on bike with a costume that lights up and the party is free, anything less and you pay something. Just subtract your discount from the $10 base price; for example a non-lighted costume gets in for $5. Just want to drink and dance? Then the cover is $10.
And by costumes, we mean *effort*. Think wild wild, feathers and feathers, Max and the Wolf Suit, the Fastest Draw in Brooklyn, Oscar Wilde, Calamity Jane, The Warriors, Tennessee 1873, Brazil Carnival, the lion tamers, etc…
And this is just the beginning.
