Holiday Crap
After a successful 2008 debut, Brooklyn Flea is moving its "Gifted" holiday market into Manhattan, taking over the 6500 square-foot former Tower Records Annex storefront at E. 4th St. and Lafayette St. in Noho, where it will launch an expanded five-day-a-week pop-up shop from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Gifted will feature a rotating cast of 50 vendors from Friday, November 27, to Thursday, December 24. Complete dates are as follows: Fri-Sun, Nov. 27-29; Wed-Sun, Dec. 2-6; 9-13; every day, Dec. 16-24. (Hours will vary from day to day, in the range of noon to 7pm.)
Note: From December 5+6 through March, the "regular" Flea will be moving indoors to 81 Front St. in DUMBO for its annual winter pop-up market, with about 50 vendors, every Saturday and Sunday, 11am to 6pm. The outdoor markets' last weekend is Nov. 21+22; they will re-open in April 2010.

FLASHING LIGHTS ONE YR ANNIVERSARY feat. Toddla T!!
FLASHING LIGHTS is the neon brainchild of some of the city's most beloved selectors: DJ AYRES (responsible for 7+ sweaty years of The Rub parties at Southpaw), NICK CATCHDUBS (remix/mixtape phenom and co-founder of the hit indie label Fool's Gold) and JUBILEE (BK bass sweetheart behind her own newly minted Nightshifters imprint).
Come celebrate the one year anniversary of the party on Saturday, October 10th at 88 Palace in NYC - joining the FL residents is UK prodigy TODDLA T, who's signature mix of dancehall vibes and electronic club jams has made him an in-demand DJ and remixer for the likes of Little Boots, Ladyhawke and many more, and his original jams are just as funky - check the downloadable mixes at toddlat.com for the proof. Soundbwoy!
