Nonsense NYC 10th Anniversary ShowOctober 10, 7 p on, $10
Advanced Tickets Highly Encouraged. *Door tickets not available until 1 a the night of the show*
A one-night physical manifestation of the Nonsense NYC email list, celebrating 10 years of weird art and culture coverage in New York City. Featuring artwork by 75 artists and collectives, an all-night dance party, and performances every five minutes. With eight installation theater spaces and a spectacular spectacle on a brand new floor at one of the best venues in Brooklyn, 3rd Ward.
Artists, collectives, and makers look into the future with a salon-style gallery show on the main floor. The enemy of anyone celebrating 10 years in New York is nostalgia. To fight it, we decided to ask what people want to see in the next 10 years. The response is overwhelming: 75 visions of what culture could be like in the next decade. From Rubulad’s line-up to swim races in the Gowanus Canal, from the Danger’s antics to the Bruce High Quality Foundation’s gender benders, you’ll see it here first.

Mr. Nobody says: End the weekend right... On Monday night. I'm going to stick in a bunch of info about Greg below, but basically, Greg is hilarious. Also he is tender as a lamb. Two qualities you don't find in the same gay dude often. Honestly, if you haven't seen him, you won't get a bunch of other chances to check the dude out FREE. It'll probably be like $100 bucks or something, because he's so funny and tender. Somebody'll be spinning some wax, and somebody will probably be throwing some dice. Gonna be a throwdown with big Ian at the bar slinging drinks as well as peaceful wisdom. And I'll be there. Mr. Nobody. Greg Walloch has appeared on everything from The Howard Stern Show to Kurt Andersen's Studio 360 on Public Radio International. His live solo shows have toured in Moscow, Toronto, Vancouver, London, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Poland, Scotland, Tel Aviv, and across the United States. He recently opened for '60's icon Janis Ian at the Ever Widening Circle gala in Oakland, CA.
