Hello New York City,
This week we have a perfect mix of our usual amazing weekly parties, plus we have some special events and a few ticket giveaway contests.

*Ticket giveaway alert this week!

This week we are giving away a pair of tickets to:
Ars Nova 54/10 Music Marathon, Shame & Ecstasy - "Leather" & Down & Derby roller disco

ENTER HERE for your chance to win with the subject line "SHAW me the tickets + name of the event". Good luck!

We also have "War of the Worlds" at Disco Down (we here at SHAW office are always eager to see what new film titles Twig is pulling up each week), Props, Fuzzanova, The Skinny Fridays, Zedd, Savoy, and Richie Beretta at Girls & Boys, and Liquid Blonde at Trash!,  The Sons & Heirs - a Morrissey tribute band with special guest DJ Andy Rourke of The Smiths and the Bollywood party Downtown Bhangra with DJ Billy G at Sutra!  Last but not least.. when Justine D called me up few weeks ago and asked us to promote an event I knew it was going to be something impressive and refreshing, so here you have it: The Crystal Ark / DFA party this Friday presented by Abracadabra - "a 9-person-strong musical ensemble led by sonic magician and DFA recording artist Gavin Russom in collaboration with the internationally renowned multimedia artist Viva Ruiz." (Happy birthday Viva!). If you want to attend this event you will need to get your tickets NOW before it's too late!

Also, please check out our photo galleries and blogs for last week's Deryck Todd fashion launch and the Sailor Jerry BBQ, and The Notorious MSG record release with our good friends Hsu-Nami.  Be sure to check back often (or subscribe to our RSS feeds) for new postings and don't forget you can always RSVP for our events and ticket giveaways, just hit up our RSVP / GIVEAWAY page!

Alright I think that's it for today, I will try to get to a few events this week, but for the most part I will be very busy preparing to leave NYC last minute.  I was asked to go on tour as the bassist for a NYC street punk band named Dirty Spiders and as busy as I am with SHAW PROMOTION, this is not something I want to turn down. I haven't been on a real band tour in nearly a decade and I can't say no to any travel opportunity, so I will pass all the SHAW responsibilities to our trusted campaign manager/ blog extraordinaire, JaiDee Valentine and be on the road again.. hell yeah!

Thank you for reading

Andy Shaw and the SHAW PROMOTION team.
