The B.L.A.P Party [Beats x Love x Alcohol x Party] is right up my alley, or in this case avenue. Half off drinks from 10pm-12am, no cover, and no dress code a this is a pretty un-Manhattan party. Industry folks, trust fund kids, and baristas all come together often wearing the same duds to out drink and out dance each other. Performances by The Llow, Sev Da Producer, Doc Sus, and The Naysayers. The party is designed to test out new beats by hot new folks so the dance floor is really a judges panel and the bar merely a vantage point from which to make or break a beat. I have a feeling things are going to get pretty sweaty – just a guess!
