Geishas on the Gowanus
Well not really. The Geishas will be emerging tonight at Grasslands, and the party for the Gowanus tomorrow is costume optional (though I think there is a Depression Era theme'). The words both started with G, I was hoping they’d draw you to read this post. Guess it worked.
GEISHA MINOR TONIGHT
Queer and non-queer alike will join together in celebration of the queer art community in NYC at Geisha Minor at the Grasslands. Hosted by Sophia Lamar, there will go-go boys in kimonos, historical reenactments, burlesque, avant-garde performances, poetry readings, and dance! Stick around for a dance party after the performances with DJs Secret Faggot and Benjamin Haber.

DEPRESSION ERA RENT PARTY for the GOWANUS
You ever ride your bike through Gowanus, over the canal bridge, and look around and think, this is the most beautiful neighborhood I’ve ever seen? I do this pretty regularly. And it’s true; Gowanus looks pretty lovely coasting by on a sunny day with the wind in your face. But if you look a bit closer, there is a lot of work to be done to clear out the debris and clean up the canal. Gowanus Canal Conservancy is hosting a fundraiser at the home of one of their members. Great food, lots of beer, excellent music '“ not to mention other like-minded, eco-friendly hot young things. RSVP to 917-342-2807 or to andy@gowanuscanalconservancy.org. They are heading tons of community projects, including creating new parks on the canal, and if you are feeling like you need to get some volunteer karma out there, this might just be the event for you!
