Gowanus Grove

Mister 100

Posted on July 24, 2012 | by Maestro Saturday | Mister Sunday, Past Parties
,, ,

On Sunday July 29th we will celebrate our 100th Mister ever. It’s true. We counted.

Mister Saturday Night started in a Manhattan club in early 2008. A few parties in, we forged a new path, turning the Mister into a one-of-a-kind, grassroots experience. We rent a private party space, set up our own soundsystem and bring in our own friendly team to work the door and the bar – to make it feel like home. Last year we extended Mister Saturday Night into Mister Sunday, taking over the beloved, tree-specked space at 400 Carroll Street called Gowanus Grove.

On the 29th, we’re celebrating, dressing up the Grove with balloons, getting an extra special food vendor for the day, and letting residents Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter stretch out for a nice, long set. Surprises? Yes, there will be surprises. As a special thank you, we’re making it free for the first two hours of the party. Consider it your opportunity to bring friends who’ve never been before. Just RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com, and you’re in. After 5pm, it’ll only be $10.

Also, we’ll be selling a limited edition, hand-numbered set of screen-printed Mister 100 posters at the party, and we’ll be unveiling a slew of new, screen-printed Mister tee shirts in a ton of different colors, so you can take a little piece of the party home. There are only a hundred of those posters (how appropriate), so if you want one, get there early.

We can’t wait to celebrate 100 with you…

Looking Back On 2011: Eamon Harkin

Posted on January 2, 2012 | by Eamon Harkin | Stuff We Like
,, , , , , , , , , ,

1. Caribou – Caribou stepped onto the dance floor in 2011, and his arrival was most welcome, for it brought us a refreshingly musical and superbly produced set of 12 inch singles. His remixes for Virgo 4 and Junior Boys raised the bar and were the staples of many a Mister Saturday Night set this year. But it’s this remix of a rare African jam produced under his Daphni guise and released on his own Jialong imprint which was the stand out for me. I first heard this when he played for us back in March. It’s been in my bag ever since.

2. Four Tet – In a similar vein, Four Tet has leaned into dance music culture extending himself as a DJ and continuing to push forward with his own vinyl only 12 inch label: Text Records (strangely missing from most year end polls on best labels). Again the result is a breath of fresh air. We were extremely happy to have Kieran play the opening Mister Sunday this year (he’s back playing with us in February at 12-turn-13).

About Mister Sunday

Posted on September 28, 2011 | by Maestro Saturday | Mister Sunday
,

Mister Sunday is the cousin of Mister Saturday Night. He wears sunglasses and likes to hang out in the great outdoors. Preferably in the sunshine.

The seasonal party takes place at Gowanus Grove – a lush, unique slice of landscape situated next to the increasingly less infamous Gowanus Canal. We haul out our big blue soundsystem, get some amazing local food vendors, set up a bar (the sangria is perfect) and offer a truly positive and joyous experience on a Sunday afternoon.

Young folks, older folks, and animals of all shapes and sizes come together to enjoy the good company, and since we start at three and end promptly at nine, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the whole shindig and still have time to get some sleep. Or to put somebody else to sleep. Or to look for another place to dance.

A Romantic Goodbye To The Grove

Over the weekend, Gowanus Grove quietly hosted its last event of the season, the wedding of Ariana Souzis and Joel Hamburger. The couple said “I do” under the trees and then canoed away into the sunset… It’s been a great summer. We hope to be out there again next year. Until then, we’ll see you on Saturday nights.

Unfinished Business

It’s rained (or we were told it would rain) on every single Sunday in August this year. It’s actually been the wettest August in history in New York. Pretty bad luck for us all who’ve gotten used to Mister Sunday at Gowanus Grove as a highlight of the summer (although we still made the most of it).

Well, that’s all behind us now, and we intend to go out with a bang. Justin and I will take things home at the Grove next Sunday for the closing party, playing back-to-back from 3pm to 9pm. Surely it can only be a bright and sunny day… And then, once the sun sets, we’ll have an afterparty with Optimo, the gents who should have played with us on the weekend just past, before Miss Irene paid a visit. We’ll have details of the afterparty up on the site this week. For now, rest up, take it easy, and plan for a big day and special night from the Mister next Sunday.
