9/19/2009- The Danger present: 1933 a boat party

This Saturday, September 19th, you are invited to experience a night of campfires, hobo-tech, 5¢ cabarets, big-band jazz, cheap whiskey, accordion orchestras, tent-cities, desperate moments, fire-eating, kisses from strangers, aerial acts, glimpses of nudity, bathtub gin, a breathtaking sunrise and a dozen dj''s in an all night celebration of the grit, beauty and desperation of an all-to-familiar past.


Welcome to:
Nineteen Thirty Three


9pm through 9am
Saturday, September 19th
Starting at: 260 Meserole St., Bushwick Brooklyn

Part I : The Brewery
Explore the depths of this 19th century fortress of ancient brick and steel. Lady Circus will inhabit this industrial cathedral with continuous cabaret acts and spontaneous aerial stunts. The nickel cabaret is a cheap and lovely stage where the bravest among you may be called upon to perform that unknown talent for simple rewards of liquor and false promises of love. As the night begins, the star is you. 

Part II : The Ferry
Explore three levels of music and performance, drinks and a dozen hidden nooks on the now infamous Bushwick Ferry boat. Featuring: the all female accordion orchestra Main Squeeze, the twenty-five piece radical brass band Rude Mechanical Orchestra, the Vintage DJ playing retro tracks from big-band jazz to throw-down swing building to late night lo-fi techno from d_Juice and Zemi 17. More than anything, this night is a celebration of the hobo, with dj's Jon Margulies, Haj, Atom, Hobotrail, Future Ben and dj As Is spinning East to West coast interpretations of Hobo-Tech. 

Many of us have woken up to find out that we've become high-tech hobos: where the original hobos physically dropped out of society and rode the rail system, we've mentally dropped out, traded train tracks for dance tracks, and given up on the plans and patrons that were supposed to provide us security. Hobotech music is depression era techno - contemporary music that nods to a forgotten America, celebrating half-smoked cigars and conversations over the fire barrel.

Plus an amplified menagerie of art and mischief from the fire starter Sandhi Ferreira, hobo smoke hut from winkel, incongruous juxtapositions from Dr. Flummox and her band of outlaw musicians and a massive scale video art installation by Sebastian Patane Masuelli completing the epic setting with forgotten images from a familiar time. Arrive early for free Dark & Stormy cocktails, rum soaked watermelon and cheap eats. 

Entrance is 33¢ for the 33 most inspired responses to this question:
