Blowoff party
Bob Mould of alternative rock band Hüsker Dü and electronic producer Richard Morel bring their mix of indie rock, electronic, house, burly bears, and leather daddies back to NYC. It’s supposed to be a “mixed” party, but even one grown man walking around with fleshlights dangling from his nipples is certainly a select crowd- parental guidance suggested!

Kostume Kult’s Horned Ball 4
Multimedia artists plus whimsical souls equals a room full of freaks!!! Founders of the Burning Man Fashion Camp and Splashdown (which has something to do with that elicit sex and fire party out in the desert) host their fourth annual costume ball. This year’s theme is mysticism- think horns, animals, bring a gerbil if you like. It’s all under the auspices of freedom!
