Paint The Town Red pretty much covered most of the upcoming events this week, but here’s a few eclectic things that are actually NOT Halloween-related.
Thursday, October 29. Meet the real star of The September Issue, Grace Coddington. Grace will be doing a book signing of The Catwalk Cats at Clic Bookstore & Gallery 255 Centre Street 7PM.
Friday, October 30. Housing Works New York Spelling Bee. Ward off a witch’s spell by spelling some tough words. Jen Dziura hosts. 8PM $10
Monday, November 2. After drinking out of Red Solo cups at the Halloween and the NYC Marathon parties on the weekend, by Monday you will want a real drink. @SweetBlogOMine has put together a fancy cocktail tweetup which includes a Chartreuse tasting at Astor Wine. 399 Lafayette Street $35 6-9PM
BTW, Matt’s birthday is November 3rd 2nd, so next Tuesday Monday @mcaldecutt or poke him on Facebook.
It is the high tide of the fall social season so take your vitamins and buckle up. Since you may need to rest up for next weekend’s Halloween parties, here’s three things I recommend for this week.
Thursday, October 22 There’s a global hip hop CMJ showcase at the 92YTribeca 7PM.
Saturday, October 24 Vernon Reid will premiere a multimedia piece commissioned by WNYC called “Artificial Afrika” at the Winter Garden. FREE 8PM
Wednesday, October 28 is The Rejection Show. Hosted by Jon Friedman, the show features Wyatt Cenac who starred in the excellent movie, Medicine for Melancholy. 9:30PM $5

Years ago, I had an email newsletter, then a blog named “Nichelle Newsletter”. Both of those extinct vehicles were used to spread the word about cool, FREE stuff and promote events that I love. It seems that a list is needed again, if only to keep up with events I may be going to. Hopefully I will run this weekly on Tuesday nights/Wednesday mornings since that is the best time for me and I will only post up to five things. So here goes!
- Friday October 16 Royal Flush party at Crash Mansion. Open Bar. 4 bands. (Sounds like a clusterf#@k, but I am a sucker for parties thrown by obscure magazines.) Topic? Animal? Anyone?!
- Tuesday October 20 Emily Farris’ 5th Annual Casserole Crazy Party at Brooklyn Label. I will be judging the casserole contest along with Tom Mylan and Rachel Wharton. 6:30PM
- Tuesday October 20 Erin and Her Cello performing at Googie’s (Upstairs at Living Room) at part of CMJ 11:30PM [Client]
- Wednesday October 21 #140Conf Meetup at MSNBC Digital Cafe. I will be speaking. 5PM.
- Friday October 23 New Work City First Anniversary Party. 200 Varick is my second home. 8PM
If you know me, then you may know Matt, so check out his Consortium List
which usually comes out on Sunday nights.
