Your weekend party planner...

[dbilas]

In an effort to help you maximize your weekend trashedness, the scientists at HeadRush Music (http://www.headrushmusic.com) have calculated the optimal combination of parties for this weekend. Of course, at HeadRush, the weekend begins on Thursday. Enjoy the hangover...

==============================================

PHASE 1 :: THURSDAY, APRIL 18 :: TRASHED

What better way to kick off the weekend than with a party called Trashed? We love the guys who throw this party, as well as their always amazing online flyers. This a free party, and always an

insane time. If you are in the design community, this is an especially good networking event for you.

Where:

SOLAS, 232 East 9 Street (between Second and Third Aves.)

PHASE 2 :: FRIDAY, APRIL 19 :: JOHN ACQUAVIVA @ CENTRO-FLY

GBH presents John Acquaviva in the main room. John Acquaviva began his international career in 1989 with Richie Hawtin by founding the world-renowned Plus 8 Records. He is well known for his vast record collection of over 55,000 pieces of vinyl, spanning a rather significant period of club music, and he is admired by many DJs for his musical knowledge and technical skill; he has the uncanny ability to work any dance floor into a frenzy, no matter who is on it.

Downstairs in the Pinky, Mark Kay and Jazzy Nice play hip-hop and classics. In the Tapioca room, Seth plays new wave and rock & roll.

Centro-Fly is located at 45 West 21 St. just off 6th Ave. For reduced admission ($10), e-mail gbh@headrushmusic.com with your name and number of guests. Ask for the HeadRush Music guestlist at the door before 1:00 AM.
