Fiat’s Pop Up Gallery Bids ‘Arrivederci’ to Soho

The FIATpop-up gallery in SoHo has closed its doors after hosting a run of great art events, parties and performances. Geoffrey and I were excited to celebrate its success by attending the closing night party on Saturday April 30th. The space at 18 Wooster Street (formerly the home of art gallery Deitch Projects) was a futuristic showroom of the tiny foreign cars displayed amid bitchen car-themed art, spreads of tasty Greek food and a variety of alcohol and other potent potables. We especially enjoyed the made-to-order shaved ice drenched in sour cherry syrup and vodka – lip-smacking! British soul-funk/electronica singer Jamie Lidell energized the crowd with a lively performance at 6:30 PM, followed by a DJ set by Special Disco Version featuring James Murphy and Pat Mahoney of the recently disbanded LCD Soundsystem.  As expected, the place was lousy with hipsters, but G and I effectively worked the room and had a blast before heading further downtown to a Birthday party (shout out to Yvonne!) on the roof deck of a luxury building on Leonard Street. Oh, what a night!

Bacon Thing Of The Day: Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates

I was thinking it had been a while since I’d posted a Bacon Thing — the most polarizing of all my reoccurring thematic posts — on this here weblog, and what better way to make a come back than with a Bacon Thing that you can also serve for snacks at a party in honor of that Superbowl thing everyone keeps talking about? What better way, indeed! Wrapped with delicious meat candy before getting toothpick’d for easy finger noshing, these dates are filled with crunchy almonds and blue cheese, so they’re kinda rich but also yummy, if you ask me. Easy step-by-step directions for the Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates can be found at This Link.

Gail and Geoffrey’s Rad Adventure at the Girlie Action Holiday Party!

Well, the Holidaze are officially upon us, and what that means is ‘tis the season to get wasted for free. Yay! NYC-based independent PR firm, Girlie Action (named after a line in the Rolling Stones’ arguably most-famous song, “Satisfaction”) has been representing cutting edge bands, artists and trendy products for as long as I’ve been writing in NYC, so it was nice to be included on the invite list for their holiday party, which took place last night.
