The Return of Rococo: A Baroque Bash In Alphabet City

A Baroque Bash at teneleven in Alphabet CityI have to say that I am intrigued by any party that is described as "burlesque, contortion/escape artistry, the Human Floor, juggling, and the nouveau-baroque music of Snazz Mammoth."

The party is on June 21st at teneleven (Avenue C btw. 10th and 11th Streets) in the
East Village. It starts at 9PM and the promoters describe it as "the extravagance of 1770 rococo Paris meets the eclecticism of 2008 underground NYC nightlife. Think Amadeus, Marie Antoinette, the Marquis de Sade, etc... Champagne, chandeliers, powdered wigs, powdered faces, and big hair will all abound in the most baroque ball since the guillotine came down.

No cover! Come in costume or come as you are."
