Factory Party @ Purchase: Stage One

This month, the Neu will be opening a new exhibit showing polaroids and silk-screens created by Andy Warhol (who is my favorite artist). I'm really excited about the exhibit. A few other people and i decided to create a costume party @ the museum where students can come dressed up like the people depicted in the artwork displayed or in clothing of the 60s and 70s ('cause the one thing people @ Purchase likes to do is dress up). We came up with the idea of getting both live entertainment and a D.J. A girl in the committee knew a D.J based in Brooklyn who was willing to do it close to no money and who had vintage records from the 60s and 70s that he could play. Since the Velvet Underground was such a big part of the time, we figured we should get a band to cover their songs and since Purchase is full of talented and dedicated bands, we might as well hire one. So yesterday, I created and posted a couple of flyers around campus, advertise the gig. I already got one hit hopefully I get a couple of more.
