Fashion’s Night Out in NYC is an annual excuse to drop everything you’re doing, put on your absolute FINEST garb and go discover whats gonna be good in fashion for the next year while sipping cocktails and snacking on treats. While the masses forced their way through crowds and broke their heels on the cobblestones of the main streets in Soho, I was lucky enough to wiggle my way into the FNO afterparty at Red Bull Space. Since when did FNO become more about chasing free drinks than appreciating good fashion? Let’s get back to the roots, ya’ll.

Social Media SMW Day 4: Discovering New Music Plus Ian “Enable” Wyatt
Ian “Enables” My Gaming Habit
Red Bull Space knows how to do Happy Hour. Not only did they provide alcohol for Social Media Week attendees last week, but they provided video games! Each day of SMW11, attendees could hang out in the Gaming Lounge and drink Red Bull & Vodkas as they tried their hand at Wii Snowboarding, raced in Gran Turismo, or shot at enemy soldiers in the new HALO Reach game. The star of the Happy Hour on the third day of SMW, however, was Ian “Enable” Wyatt. At only 17 years old, he’s one of the top HALO players in the world! Gaming fans had the opportunity to play with Wyatt in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing them to get into the minds and play-style of one of their gamer idols. And so did I!
Social Media Twitter Saves Music at SMW
If Day 1 was all about singing Facebook’s praises, Day 2 was all about how Twitter kicks Facebook’s ass; at least as far as the music industry is concerned…
Is Social Media Music’s Savior?
BUZZMEDIA hosted an event with the Kanye-inspired title, The Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy of Social Media as Music’s Savior, which featured a panel of respected music curators and promoters: Angel Laws (ConcreteLoop.com), Jessica Suarez (Stereogum), Tamar Anitai (MTV.com/MTV Buzzworthy), Rob Bonstein (Epic Records) and moderated by Jeff Leeds, Editor in Chief for Music at BUZZMEDIA.
Social Media Social Media Week Day 1: Real-life vs Facebook, Africa and More
Social media will never replace real-life, human interaction. This was the surprising, but reassuring theme of Social Media Week 2011 in NYC (there were also events in nine other cities). Both big events I attended at Red Bull Space on the first day kept coming back to that idea; that social media is a wonderful tool, but at the end of the day, success is determined by the quality of your relationships with other human beings. Shocking, right?
Music CMJ At Red Bull Space NYC
So last week was the CMJ Music Marathon (more commonly known as just “CMJ”) here in the NYSheezy. Established in 1980, CMJ (“College Music Journal”) is an annual, week long music festival held in various venues throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn for selected artists and bands to, essentially showcase their material for industry people, particular those with a focus in the college markets.
The Red Bull Space was the talk of the town on Thursday night with the invite only Cut Chemist album release party for Sound of the Police with special guests DJ Spinna, Telephoned and Jasmine Solano. Cut Chemist was solid and did not disappoint although I have to say, Jasmine Solano was the highlight for me personally. She’s remarkably talented; has such a great energy on stage; plus the fact that she hosts a monthly party called “Electric Punanny” is rather punchy (and awesome).
Fashion A Taste of Fashion’s Night Out: NYC Edition
Fashion Featured Gallery Fashion’s Night Out ChinaShop Style
So there were about three million and a half events going on last Friday night in NYC, all in the holy name of Fashion’s Night Out. Some of those other parties may have been a decent time, but our very own ChinaShopPop party at Red Bull Space in Soho totally ruled!
Music New York City 2ND Annual Gold Rush Awards: Artistic Relaxation
Another Thursday night in NYC, and yes, another fully-catered art event to attend – and of course, another chance to mingle with Gotham’s elite, indie and cool kid population. Sometimes us New Yorkers tend to forget how good our lives really are; not to trample on the nightlife scene of other cities, but in NYC, it’s truly an embarrassment of riches.
