MSN: What brought you here?
Avi: Actually, my friend, Vanilla, she invited me. I was going to her house tonight and she was was like, “Yo, you wanna go to a house party?”  and I said, “Why not!”
MSN: So you’ve never been to one of these parties before?
Avi: I’ve been to house music parties before but not this particular one.
MSN: Any one or two that you remember particularly?
Avi: Name-wise, no! It’s always been random for me.
MSN: What do you like about the parties you go to, or what do you like about house music?
Avi: The beat, and the groove! It just continues on and on and on. Like, “house music all night long.” It’s literally that!
MSN: Do you listen to dance music at home?
Avi: Yes, I definitely do.
MSN: Do you download mixes, or just listen to whatever you find?
Avi: Mostly whatever I find, because I find that music is so deep, and there’s so many artists out there, that it’s so hard to keep up, you know what I mean? So I just try to download whatever I find here and there.
MSN: What are your interests, passions?
Avi: I just graduated, I’m a graphic designer. I have a little clothing brand, it’s called Contemporary Negro. But that name might change in the future though.
MSN: That name is a little bit controversial!
Avi: Yes, exactly.
MSN: What’s the idea behind the clothing line?
Avi: It’s just a pro-Black brand. It’s just about representing roots and culture. I’m trying to appeal to the youth. You gotta know your past to know your future.
MSN: And you designed the shirt you’re wearing?
Avi: Yes!
MSN: Very cool, I dig it! And Miss Vanilla, you brought Avi over here?
Vanilla: Yes! I usually come here with Doctor Jones – Kevin Jones.
MSN: Ah! Yes. We’re very familiar with Mister Jones. He’s a great guy, dancer and a really good friend of the party. How’d you get to know Kevin?
Vanilla: Well, I’m a DJ-in-training, and he came to see me play like a year and a half ago. It was at a coffee shop. You know, I’m not like these guys – I’m a visual artist.
MSN: What kind of visual art do you do?
Vanilla: I’m multimedia, but right now, I’ve been working on my pillow line.
MSN: Pillows? Wow.
Vanilla: This is one of my pieces [Vanilla is wearing a soft, fluffy knuckle ring that covers the middle, ring, and pinky fingers. It looks like a tiny pillow.] So right now, I’m mainly working on graphics and clothing construction. I just sold Lorna [our resident MSN bartender] some heart earrings tonight.  I usually carry them on me. She was very nice, and very interested in my work. My line is called Vanilla Medallions.
MSN: So where are you from?
Vanilla: I’m from Connecticut. I’ve been living in New York for almost ten years.
MSN: What brought you to New York?
Vanilla: Being an artist, you know. The vibe. I can’t see myself anywhere else.
MSN: And what got you into music and dancing?
Vanilla: House and hip-hop music in the late 80′s early 90′s.
MSN: Was there a particular experience that you had, or club or place you went to, that got you into this?
Vanilla: My first introduction to the music was probably by 98.7, when they had they used to have the dance music programs. And a friend of mine, his older brother was a dancer, and was heavy into techno and the whole scene from the ’90′s – so like, taking tapes of his and listening to them. As far as a party, I can’t name a particular one I guess. I would just say that as a dancer, electronic music has a more freeing ability, to me. So that attracts me.
MSN: What other parties do you go to?
Vanilla: I mean, honestly, these guys and Dope Jams are the best parties. I mean, no offense to anyone, but you’re not hearing the same shit. I mean, there’s other parties – Joe Claussells’s party at Club Love. Shelter. Sound Noir. Libation. Anything Jus-Ed does. But the ones presently, that keep me coming back, are these and Dope Jams.
MSN: Cool, thanks. Anyway, back to the party. Any parting words?
Vanilla: Miss Vanilla is the flavor that you savor. Positive Over Negative! Peace!

Also, young Mister Naples will be playing records for the first couple hours of the party, and then Justin and Eamon will play his record on repeat for the next six hours. Okay, not really.

Everything else is the same as it ever was. House of Yes. Free beer for the first hour. Party jams. Weird party jams. I didn’t ever think of this as a party jam-s. And a really nice soundsystem and a bunch of good people.

As always, we are looking forward to getting down with you.

The good thing about our fine city, though, is that you can make it what you want. And that’s just what we’re doing. Spank, our favorite underground gay party, joins forces with us to take over 12-turn-13, a place where it feels like anything is possible.

The result is…

New York! Just Like I Pictured It

**So we can keep things intimate, this will be an advance ticket-only party.**
