A-trak at Studio B in Brooklyn: Whoa!

Yesterday it was a birthday party for a few friends, originally planned for the roof top at Delancey. Unfortunately the fire marshal had other plans and shut down the roof for good until they install another fire escape (it’s been open for years without this requirement). The Delancey, however, hooked us up and bussed the party to Brooklyn’s Studio B for free and extended the free well happy hour to 2 hours.

This deal would have been sweet enough since Studio just re-opened their roof top again and the happy hour but Sat was the opening night of A-Trak‘s Infinity +1 tour – his mix goes live for purchase March 31st. Sweet!

The bar was well received saving me easily $100+ on booze for me and the lady. We were warmed up for the show and headed down for the set with DJ Mehdi and A-trak rocking the decks at the same time. Hard crunk electric beats had the crowd going nuts most of the time.

Celebrating Azerbaijan!

The week one of our friends had a birthday at the multiplied in NYC restaurant Serafina. I just recently learned she was from Azerbaijan which I wasn’t familiar with. I’ve since learn the country claimed independence 90 years ago and is surrounded by Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Iran and the Caspian Sea. She’s apparently in the minority being Russian Orthodox.

We’ll we enjoyed a standard Italian meal with plenty of wine and family and then headed up to the Dream roof top to pop the bubbly. Unfortunately I’ve been sick and pulled out early but here’s a few pictures.
