The Mister heads back to the House of Yes. For the December 1st edition, Eamon and Justin are joined by Tin Man, who will be playing all different kinds of acid (Falling Acid, Neo Neo Acid, Keys of Life Acid, Love Sex Acid, Acid Acid), live from a big table of hardware. We hope he brings us some records, because they cost a million billion dollars on discogs. (For good reason. They’re always amazing.)
One important note, we’re opening doors an hour late tonight. House of Yes has an early show, and Tin Man will need to set up his hardware, so we’ll need extra time to make preparations. Otherwise everything’s the same as usual. Nice sound. Nice people. And a nice smoke machine.
The boys are back for a party at the House of Yes this Saturday. RSVP to mister@mistersaturdaynight.com for reduced entry before midnight; otherwise it’s fifteen bones. You can also buy advance tickets if that’s how you like to roll.
We’re glad to be back and looking forward to seeing you Saturday.
When we scheduled our parties in London and Berlin, we would’ve never thought that it would be in the wake of the worst storm to ever hit our city. It feels strange to leave Brooklyn at such a time, but we’ve realized that though we’re not there in body, there’s still something we can do.
All of the door proceeds from this weekend’s parties at Plastic People and Loftus Hall will go to The Red Hook Initiative, a grassroots organization based in Red Hook, one of Brooklyn’s hardest hit neighborhoods. Typically The Red Hook Initiative focuses on empowering local young people to take charge of their lives and their community. Since the storm hit, they have become the epicenter of relief efforts, distributing food, water, batteries, flashlights and other essentials to local residents, many of whom were already living in poverty before the storm hit.
The prices are £7 in advance, £8 before 11pm, or £10 after in London and €5 in advance, €8 at the door in Berlin. If you can give more, please do. If you can’t come to the party but want to donate to this great organization, this is where you can do it:
Finally, this party is a benefit, but it will still be majorly fun. Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter will be DJing all night. That means you’re gonna have a very good time. That’s how we do it in Brooklyn!
ADVANCE TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT FOR SATURDAY’S PARTY. WE’LL BE RELEASING A FEW TICKETS AT THE DOOR, BUT THEY’LL GO FAST. DEFINITELY ARRIVE EARLY IF YOU DON’T HAVE A TICKET AND WANT TO GET IN. WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!
The Mayan calendar is about to end, and Quetzalcoatl is coming back on a raft of snakes to either a) bring destruction upon all the Earth or b) elevate the consciousness of humanity. (Or nothing will happen.) No matter what, we bring you Mister Halloween Night: Apocalypto, a run down of what to do when the real apocalypse happens.
Our favorite loft, 12-turn-13, is being transformed into 2012-turn-13, a temple dedicated to ancient, yet timeless rituals like dancing and dressing up in ridiculous but painstakingly detailed costumes. Shamans Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter will utter incantations, mystical forms will be conjured by the High Priest of The Sense Society, and creatures from the underworld, EnSubtitles, will rise for a but a few moments to perform a transformational ceremony.
Apocalyptic outfits will be rewarded with an on-the-house drink. We are equal opportunity apocalypsers, so don’t feel limited to Maya. Think giant asteroid, dinosaur extinction (there’s got to be a good Barney The Dinosaur costume in here somewhere), alien attack, ice age or rapture. If you need some inspiration, remember the great apocalyptic films: The War of the Worlds, Dr. Strangelove, Night of the Living Dead, Planet of the Apes, Mad Max. Remember, group costumes please the gods and not dressing up at all angers them.Speaking of the End, it’s also the last Mister Sunday of the season.
We never know from year to year if we’ll be able to come back to the Gowanus again, so every closing party is particularly special. This year that’s doubly true, as it’s been the best season we’ve ever had. We’ll work hard to bring Mister Sunday back to Gowanus Grove or some other equally special place next year, but today, we’re going to focus on soaking in those last rays of sunshine on the dancefloor under the poplars.
In honor of Halloween, our closing party is doubling as a Mister Masquerade. We’ll have some Halloween happenings for the young folk, and we’ll have mulled wine at the bar for the grown-ups. And if you wear a costume, you’re in for $10 whether you show up before or after 5pm.
Purchasing tickets ahead of time is always highly encouraged (especially for this Saturday), so to guarantee your entry, please pick one up here. As always, you can RSVP to both parties at mister@mistersaturdaynight.com for reduced entry before 12am (Saturday) and 5pm (Sunday), as long as there’s space available.
Ex-firefighter Joseph Hunt is a tough-to-miss dude. His 6’9” stature, long curly hair and general swagger make him stand out all the more as a regular at Mister Sunday. Asking him for a quick chat, Joe dropped some knowledge, in a style that was truly his own. We were pretty tempted to post some the audio from our interview, so you could get a taste of his perfect Brooklyn accent, but it’d be better if you just greeted Joe at the next party you see him at. He’s a good guy to talk to. Joe currently manages and tends bar at a pub in Brooklyn called Shenanigans. Here’s a short excerpt from our chat with him.
MSN: What’s your background, Joe? Joe: Hey – I manage Shenanigans and let me tell you something – as a bartender I watch the crowd. Love and sex are the weird things, because people always do it differently. MSN: And you said you used to promote parties and stuff like that? Joe: I’ve been in the scene a long time. This is one of the best parties of all time. Since I was 23 years old, I was managing the floor of the Hall, the Roxy, Envy – you name the nightclub – The J.H., the Fifth Profession – especially in the mid-90’s. I’ve been waitin’ for some good scenes to come to Brooklyn, and this is the best. I make it a point to be here as much as I can. Sometime life intrudes, but if I’m gonna have a good time – on Sunday? – I’m comin’ to Mister Sunday. MSN: And you’re originally from Brooklyn? Continue reading “Mr. Mister Sunday: October 14th”
