Party Girl’s Guide To The Weekend: Escape From NYC Edition
FRIDAY, AUGUST 26TH
New York: After hurricane-proofing your apartment and packing up your go bag, why not enjoy the last dry night of the weekend in Brooklyn and help celebrate Canada’s Blood Diamonds first US show at the Glasslands. Plus, this might be your last chance to drink a whole bunch of PBR beers before they’ll probably all get washed away this weekend.
Blood Diamonds with Papertiwn, Tanlines (DJ Set), Braille (DJ Set) and Magic Mountain (DJ Set)
Glasslands
289 Kent Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11211
Doors & Show at 10 PM, $10
London: One of the finer live music venues-slash-pubs in the hip London neighborhood of Dalston is hosting their summer party series called Beach Creep tonight, featuring performances from Shimmering Stars (whose album cover art appears above) and the “infectious slacker pop-outfit” from London known as Fanzine. What better way to kick off the weekend than with a party that has rager potential written all over it?

Los Angeles: With any party being thrown at the Roosevelt Hotel, you pretty much know you’re going to have yourself a classy time (depending on how much you imbibe that night) at a super classy place. Be sure to head down the Boulevard on Saturday to check out this month’s Fever party thrown by our good friends at Socialite Stepchild.
