House of Meow Meow

WEDNESDAY July 29th.

This Night School, come learn to swap! Okay, so I admit, there isn’t much “education” involved in swapping clothes and accessories, but its a lot of fun and you’ll meet great people (with great style). As far as I’m concerned, it still fits our curriculum. All you need to do is bring a bag of clothing or some useful non-wearable items, and it always helps to bring a little donation to make sure Night School continues to happen. I guess if we’re learning anything, were learning that you don’t have to shop…you just need to swap. Feel free to bring drinkables and edibles too.

8pm-12am
by donation.

No Parking on the Dancefloor #10

DeeJays: $mall ¢hange, Joro Boro, Barney Iller

Finally! The return of (to misquote Ted Turner about the Braves) “America’s” party. That’s right kids, what really unites us all: free speech impediments, life, libertarians, and the pursuit of unregulated corporate bonuses. And of course DANCING, which the NY supreme court refused to acknowledge was a fundamental human right (and that’s why the no dancing laws are STILL on the books, btw). We know, though. We know the time. Fuck these lame-ass, backward-ass, asinine-ass-motherfuckers. Dancing is some basic shit that we all should be enjoying more often than we do. Hence, ‘No Parking on the Dancefloor’. A party about getting down.

We’ve taken a short break to catch our breath but this shit can’t be stopped. Its now going monthly, with slightly expanded hours, and will be on the 3rd Thursday of the month, but the next one is THIS THURS July 30th with stella underground selectros Joro Boro and Barney Iller. Expect eclectic booty shakin’ selections for y’all to shake it don’t break it shake it to break it to.

Riddle of the Sphinx

The Riddle of the Sphinx is an innovative collage of aerial, theater, and dance that combine into a quirky meditation on age, beauty, ugliness, and freedom from convention. It’s choreographed and directed by Maia Ramnath, with material contributed by performers Lori Barber, Scott Combs, Jane Gardner, Ian Lassiter, Nicki Miller, Danielle Natoli, Rubi Sartorious, and Satomi Shikata. The evening also features choreography by Katie Clancy and Sarah Wollschlager performed by Sego Marchand.

This one night only event is a collaboration between our most dedicated aerialists at the Skybox (the aerial studio here at the House of Yes)

Doors at 8:30, show at 9:00
$10-15 sliding scale.

Ride on Til Dawn II: The Lion’s Den

We are celebrating everyone’s favorite zodiac sign… Leo! come celebrate those courageous, exuberant and sometimes gratuitous friends who were born under the sign of the lion. It’s a party for Leos, by Leos…like our friends and collaborators Jordann, Anya, Lena and Aaron. For some reason, a lot of people involved in making the House of Yes possible and wonderful are Leo’s. Coincidence? No. Lets party.

But its not just any old birthday party…It’s also a farewell party. After 9 years and 360 days in New York, everyone’s favorite bus-driving, music making, story telling sound-man, Aaron Goldsmith, is leaving our fair metropolis for the granola-covered eco-friendly hippie hills of the West Coast. Yes, his Circus Bus is going West too. Aaron has been the man responsible for bringing us live jams, funky beats, and soul-train dance-offs till dawn over the years. And we love him for it. This might be your last time ever to enjoy a party at the House of Yes that is brought to you by Aaron (at least until 3 months from now)

With awesome bands:

Prez Powerz (Intergalactic Hip hop with break dancers)

Escarioka (Latin Ska and rock steady with horns!)

FreeBass (Bass Bass Bass Bass Bass Bass Bass and Beats)

DJs: Joro Boro (Bulgarian Bar) and Barney Iller (Rubulad)
