Mister 100
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 2009. 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…
Mister 99
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.
Considering what goes into each party, a hundred feels like a milestone for us. We’re celebrating with two special editions of the Mister – Mister 99 and Mister 100. For tonight’s edition – Mister 99 – we’re settling in at the House of Yes. Jeffrey Ralston, who decorated our most recent New Year’s and Halloween parties, is decking out the space extra special with inflatables and lights.
Musically, we’re looking to the future. Joining residents Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter behind the decks are Anthony Naples and Jay Daniel, two young twenty-somethings already etching their mark into contemporary dance music. Anthony’s Mad Disrespect EP was the first release on our label. Not so coincidentally, Mister Saturday Night was the first party Anthony ever went to. Jay Daniel is a DJ from Detroit. He does a monthly party with Kyle Hall at a place called Motorcity Wine. Anyone who’s heard him play says he’s great, and when people say that about someone from Detroit, we pay attention.
Beers are on us for the first hour of the party, and, as a special thanks to you, we’re keeping the price low. It’s $10 to get in all night long, and there are even a few $5 advance tickets for early birds up above.
Put those celebrating shoes on. It’s going to be a good night.
Eamon and Justin In The House
Eamon and Justin take to the decks all by themselves for the first time since February. You stretch out, they’ll stretch out, we’ll all stretch out.

*Although we absolutely love to play host to our all-ages friends, the operators of the space make the rules. When we can, we do it all-ages, but for House of Yes, we’ve gotta keep it twenty-one and over.
