Mr. and Ms. Saturday Night

Last Saturday night at House of Yes, we interviewed a couple of randomly picked partygoers, just to find out a little bit about them. We would like to introduce you to Pilar (left) and Staber (right). If you see them at the next party, say hello!

MSN:  What brought you here tonight?
Pilar: My best friend took me here! He said there’s a very nice party in Brooklyn, so I came.
MSN: What do you like about the party?
Pilar: The music is very good, and the space is very nice.
MSN: What are your interests, what do you do?
Pilar: I’m a researcher.
MSN: What kind of research?
Pilar: Biomedical. Maybe I’m not the typical person at this party! I just came to New York two weeks ago. I’m from Spain. My flat mates are very nice people. They said, “You have to go out tonight. Everybody’s very crazy and it’s cool.”
MSN: And when are you from, Staber?
Staber: Bangladesh.
MSN: How long have you been in New York?
Staber: A fair amount of time, two years.
MSN: How did you find out about this party?
Staber: I’ve been to House of Yes before, and I’ve been to Mister Sundays.
MSN: What do you like about these parties?
Staber: The people!
MSN: How did you find out about Mister Sunday?
Staber: I have absolutely no idea.
MSN: What do you do?
Staber: I run a hedge fund.

Thanks again to Pilar and Staber for their time… some more pics from the night are down below. See you at the next one!

Grinnin’ In Your Face


I was down south for a couple weeks, starting in New Orleans, going up through Clarksdale, Mississippi and through Memphis and Nashville in Tennessee. Of course this got me in the mood to listen to the blues, so the soundtrack for most of the trip was the great Son House. Here’s a favorite song, “Grinnin’ In Your Face”.

Oh Yes


The Mister eases into the Fall at a place where we’ve never been before: House of Yes. It’s an intimate space with wood floors (it serves as a dance studio during the day), high ceilings (it also serves as an aerialist studio) and a homey vibe (yes, it serves as a home, too). There are couches and chairs, and of course we’ll be bringing in the big, blue soundsystem to warm things up on the dancefloor.

Justin and Eamon are stretching out all night long for this one, and beers are on the house for the first hour of the party. And if you RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com and get there before midnight, it’s only $10.

Summer is over and Saturday night is back. We’re looking forward to seeing you.

Mister Saturday Night with residents Justin Carter & Eamon Harkin all night long / Saturday October 8th / 10p-6a / $10 in advance at residentadvisor.net/mistersaturdaynight / $10 before midnight with RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com / $15 otherwise

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.

An Extended Interview With The Misters Saturday Night


Back in the summertime (it seems a distant memory), a gent named Andy Capp, who runs a night in Toronto called Bang The Party, did an interview with Eamon and me in the early hours of a Mister Sunday. It’s got a little background about how we got into music, how we met each other and a little footage from some Mister parties. We hope you enjoy it…
