I have to give a shout out to my brother from another mother, DJ HERBERT. He used to receive my weekly e-mail blast and he offered me a job as a promoter for his weekly party called FREEDOM!!! FRIDAYS. At the time FREEDOM!!! had just moved to a space in the East Village and it was my favorite spot for bagging up a p.y.t. that was fresh to the NYC scene. She might be from Chicago, L.A., Detroit or N’Awlins and she was trying to find out what was really good with the Big Apple. Even though the party might be filled with industry heads there was little or no pretension. If you asked a girl for a dance she would give you one. If you knew how to dance you would get a second. I even have a couple of dope hook up stories from this party.

When I designed my flyers I was given complete autonomy and as you will see I pushed the limits of good taste in some of my designs. It was all about the feel good attitude that the FREEDOM!!! party gave me. FREEDOM!!! was a lot of fun for me back then because the party was a breath of fresh air to the NYC late nite club scene. Rare grooves and classic Hip-Hop made FREEDOM!!! like the sexiest group karaoke event ever. The FREEDOM!!! FRIDAYS party is still on and popping and you can still get inside on the DALLAS PENN friends and family discount when you say my name to the cashier. Ladies = $5 and fellas = $7 all nite long.

For a less hectic and laid back groove you can find me at BELMONT LOUNGE on Friday nites. There’s no chance of you squeezing ROSARIO DAWSON’s booty like at FREEDOM!!!, but we make up for it by not charging a cover and being heavy handed on the bar drinks.

Go to FREEDOM!!! to look like a Star, come to Belmont to get wasted like one.

I called this set of flyers my ’emo t.v. series’.
