brickhouse Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Anyone get confirmation on Phaze one yet? I e-mailed this morning to check.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehacker Posted May 6 Author Report Share Posted May 6 it's a record shop, bookstore, magazine shop, and bar all in one; and they often have film screenings, usually on mondays, and now film screenings followed by open turntables at around 8:30...say what you will about the 'hipster' aspects of it (jeezuz i feel like beating down the next person that complains about anyone who's Not Them is a 'goddamn hipster') do you know of another place that actually has film screenings and open turntables And also happens to be a record shop so at least you can do that if it gets boring?some people are so quick to criticize before giving anything half a chance.

But behind the groundbreaking music and fun, laid-back ambience, it's the hardware that really makes the joint jump; rather than the glorified home stereos found at many of the city's bars, this place has a real sound system, designed by David Soto (who did the same for Vinyl) and lovingly maintained by in-house sonic swami Jesse Beyer."

ender84 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Ill show up... well Ill just listen, since I never touched a turntable in my life ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehacker Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 IT RAWKED... totally chill... very tight dj setup - EVENT Monitors! for the dj and excellent sound system in the place overall... no judgements and no bullshit - they even got the scheduling right (people show up for the sign-up time, draw a number from a bag; then ppl choose which slot they want, in order of their number - makes sense!) ... but it's only the first monday of every month... you'll have to wait 4 more weeks to consider it and then not go anyway, folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickhouse Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Hmm, I thought someone had said that it was going to be every monday starting in May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saigray Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Yeah, back off da hipsters dudes,...probably the only place that gets packed for alternative electronica on a weeknight and has great vegan cookies, free popcorn with your "hipster" movie and cheap bottles of wine.And on Saturday I got a working super-8 film camera for $5!! Can't beat that...not even at a tag sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saigray Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 and you know it will include reference to Vegan cookies, and second hand vintage movie camera's for making black and white silent avant garde films about your band of looky friends who wander around lower manhattan in retro-tribal gear, lost warriors in the urban landscape!

thehacker Posted May 7 Author Report Share Posted May 7 incidentally, last night was the first time in a LONG time when i was in any new york borough and butted into a conversation with just a few words and had it turn into meeting 4 new friends... if that's what being a 'hipster' is all about then bring on the hipsters!
