PARTY: FREEwilly First Thursdays
The folks over at FREE Williamsburg finally decided to put all there knowledge and expertise in music to good use. The site will be kicking off ‘First Thursdays’ tomorrow. I chatted with FW Senior Music Editor, Nicole Wasilewicz, about why the popular Brooklyn based site decided to embark on a music series – holding it down on Thursdays and making the schlep out to Greenpoint. Nicole stated,“Thursdays are a great day in general. It’s almost Friday, but you’re not overwhelmed by your weekend plans just yet. And although Greenpoint Ave is off the G and not actually in Williamsburg, we wanted to have the show at Coco66 simply because the venue is perfect. I saw Twin Shadow and Hooray for Earth at Coco earlier this summer and since they revamped the sound system, it sounded amazing. With the series, I was more concerned with having the opportunity to bring awesome lineups at lower prices to the ‘hood. I’m just hoping each showcase ends with a sweaty dance party.”
Well, I hope it ends in a sweaty dance party too. Hell, I hope it ends up with me going home with someone, getting a phone number.
Also, if you can’t afford the $8 cover (really!?), FREEburg is hosting a ticket giveaway to the show. Just RSVP to the Facebook event and you could be the lucky winner!
