Party Girl’s Guide To The Weekend: New York, Boston & More!
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH
New York City – On September 30th, go back to the future when old becomes new again as Culture Club reopens to the public in its new Midtown location on 39th Street. With four floors of dancing, ’80s themed cocktails and dcor that’s decked out with larger-than-life images from the decade’s classic movies, enjoy free admission if you arrive at the door dressed up for the occasion in ’80s gear. (Did we also mention there are Saturday Night Fever dance floors, oversized Rubik’s Cubes, original tour memorabilia from Debbie Gibson, an homage to Bon Jovi and larger-than-life images from classic movies such as Breakfast Club, Top Gun and Risky Business lining the walls?)

If you’re not in ’80s gear, $25 admission on Friday
Philadelphia – The big reason to get excited for tonight’s Making Time in Philadelphia? The fact that our boys (or shall we say boy) Dirty Beaches will be rocking the stage, along with equally awesome acts Factory Floor and Anika. If you didn’t get a chance to see Dirty Beaches perform at our SXSW concert with Dan Deacon back in March, well now’s your second chance!
