Balkan Bacchanalia on the High Seas
Saturday, Aug 14
Aboard tall ship Clipper City, Pier 17, South St Seaport, 21+
11:30pm - 2:30am boat party w/cruise, $30 adv/$40 dock (limited tix)
Official site: http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html
Tix: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/119199
Join us as we raise the massive square-rigged sails of New York's only Tall Ship for a surreal dance party on the high seas. Rebuilt from original plans borrowed from the National Archives, the 160-foot Clipper City, with its masts rising 135' off the deck, is a faithful replica of the clipper ships that plied America's waters more than a century ago. DJ Joro Boro is on decks all night, keeping it sizzling with his signature EthnoMesh Megalophonia mix. Expect wild music to delight your ears, colorful costumes to delight your eyes, full cash bar to delight your gullet, and plenty of surprises to delight your soul. Find yourself face to face with the Statue of Liberty with a cocktail in one hand, a dance partner in the other, and towering sails soaring above. Dress: gypsy fabulous (though we're taking it easy on costumes this time).
