'Times' Fashionably Late With Halloween Suggestions
Happy All Saints Day everyone! You're probably psyched to hit up some bitchin' All Saints parties tonight, right? Thankfully, the New York Times' "Urban Eye" newsletter has a hot lineup of tonight's events for all your Hollowmas revelry needs. Here's the final item in today's mailing, sent out today, Thursday, November 1, at 7:45 a.m.
NIGHTLIFE Halloween Nightlife Decathalon
How many parties can you hit tonight? There's The Onion's comedy bash at Union Hall in Park Slope, with the indie rockers Cassettes Won't Listen and a slew of comedians from the Adult Swim show "Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil;" expect a lot of pasty white dudes. There's the Night of the Coney Island Dead at the Brooklyn Lyceum, with burlesque dancers and performances from Nellie McKay; expect a lot of sexy shimmy. Theater for the New City, which first started holding the Village Halloween parade 31 years ago, now has its own event, with jazz and Latin bands and a costume contest; expect theatricality. And there's Swalloweenie at Stain Bar in Williamsburg, which involves bobbing for hot dogs. Do not expect buns.
We're getting our costumes ready (this year we think we'll be one of those delightful "Dick In a Box" characters), preparing some solemn liturgical prayers for the dead, and setting our party schedule now! All Hollows Day Rocks!!
