Olive Juice's acoustic bbq (May 17) @ Goodbye Blue Monday (1087 Broadway in Brooklyn) USA
Olive Juice Music's third annual OJ All Day Festival will be held this June 19 & 20 in a new location at the Brooklyn Lyceum. You can buy advance tickets here.
Before then, they will be throwing a somewhat poorly timed kick off bbq party, a month before the actual festival. The shindig will take place on Sunday, May 17th from 4pm to 10pm in the back yard at Goodbye Blue Monday (1087 Broadway in Brooklyn - take the J to Kosciusko St Station)
The bbq will feature mini-acoustic sets from Jason and Rachel Trachtenburg, Schwervon!, Wooden Ghost, The Wowz, and Ching Chong Song.

extract
Rachel Trachtenburg played two songs, one about a black cat and one about a pigeon (if I remember correctly). Rachel played one song at the keyboard and on the other played ukelele and was accompanied by Chris Brodeur on air violin (Chris hummed along while miming the violin playing--it was a kind of charming effect, actually).
Rachel was followed by her dad Jason who played some of his recent hits...I seem to remember "I don't want to tempt.....time." That catchy sensation.

Saturday, May 2nd 8pm-12am Bowery Poetry Club (308 Bowery)Best Book Party Ever!"
The Official Party for "Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen"
from Soft Skull Press
Saturday, May 2nd 8pm-12am
Bowery Poetry Club (308 Bowery)
featuring performances by: Reverend Jen,
The Trachtenburg Slide Show Family Players,
The Electric Mess, Brer Brian,
go-go elves and more!
free admission, free condoms
Let's face it: Most book parties suck. Bores in tweed jackets eat waxy cubes of cheese while listening to well-behaved writers drone on about their sexless, frustrated lives. Everyone goes home sober and alone at a reasonable hour.
Not at "Best Book Party Ever" the official shindig for Reverend Jen's memoir: "Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen!" It has taken the Rev. many years to get published – years she spent working crap jobs while simultaneously fantasizing about what her book party would be like. Now you, the attendee, get to reap the benefits of Reverend Jen's overactive imagination!
Along with musical performances from The Trachtenburg Slide Show Family Players and the Electric Mess, there will be brief and depraved readings from Rev.'s book, elf-eared go-go dancers, a spanking booth, a giant model of the G-Spot for guests to explore, souvenirs ("I Survived the Best Book Party Ever" t-shirts anyone?), live vulva paintings from Lady C, Soul, R&B, and Garage dance tunes from DJ Charles Gaskins (from garagepunk.com), cheap-ass drink specials all night, a male wet t-shirt contest, performances by various art stars and so much more!
Get there early and stay late! A magical night to remember is in store for all
