manifesto: to make your getting together with each other something different, someway more. not just music but all about the music; making you dance, making you stay out later. going for the magic of being right there in what’s happening, with no hype, nothing elitist, everyone invited. plus giving back and being involved in making creativity happen.

I’m a one man operation, with a million amazing people helping out, however many nights a week. I’m currently drafting an up-to-date thanks list, but for now, let me just say thanks to all the great old friends who have helped make all these shows happen over the years. You all have made the experience of these shows a more personal experience, and built what could just be a scene into a vibrant family. THANKS!

I’m always looking for more bands & acts & spectacles & curiosities to charge people money to see. if you have such a thing, write me with details and maybe we’ll work together. millions will be made.

FYI - I book lots of shows, but so do lots of other people, so if you want to book a show & can’t get a response out of me, you should try contacting these other great NYC independent & ALL AGES showfolk below. I recommend perusing their links and their calendars to see if they’re the right fit for you, or just to see what’s going on (for the record, blindly mass emailing all of these people will not make you a lot of friends, and probably will cause people to NOT want to book you, word to the wise)
