Kia ora friends,
In the spirit of David Mancuso & The Loft, I'll be hosting an end-of-year gathering/rent party on New Years Eve.
In 1970, David Mancuso started these nights in his NYC Manhattan loft as a way to help him pay his rent. He wasn't a DJ, just a passionate music lover and invited people to join in that.
Todays economic crisis of a situation is relatable, so thats our theme.
His story below 👇🏻
DRINKS
As we don't have a license after midnight, I won't be opening the bar. No one is "working" so we can all enjoy the night socializing and dancing together.
Everyone is welcome to BYO and treat the space as if you were at a someone's house; keep it tidy, I'll show you how the dishwasher works ;)
MUSIC
Keeping it casual.... ya know.... who knows 👀
+ I have a collection of music from "The Loft" archives to be played early in the night
INVITING OTHERS
Yes. Friends are welcomed.
PRODUCTION
We've got what we need. Our lighting is at the festivals, so bring a light if you've got something fun.
WHAT TO BRING
- Your best 70s if you feel inspired to get funked up
- Balloons to hang
- A water bottle
- Kai/snacks to have or share
COST
$20 for the night.
CAN'T COME?
Next time! 💃🏼
