Website launch party for the East Village Eye



From the EVG inbox...



The East Village Eye Archive holds its Website Launch Party this coming Monday, Dec. 9 at the Tammany Hall bar on 152 Orchard Street to celebrate our newly remade website featuring six PDFs of East Village Eye magazines with brand-new T shirts to match, so you can read the mag, rock the shirt.

All 72 issues of the East Village Eye, the legendary magazine published from 1979 to 1987 that covered and was actively engaged in the arts, politics and social currents of the time, are being scanned and preserved in searchable PDFs. This Spring we put up out Top Ten Issues for Fashion. Now we're showing our Six Most Wearable Eyes. So you can read the mags, then choose – if you can – between James White (our iconic Issue #1), Fashion, Drug Bust, Picasso Sucks, Sex, or Planet Rock.

The party stars Joey Arias and His Band, with Phoebe Legere plus Brenda Bergman & the Bodacious Ta Tas. Spoken word by Rene Ricard, Bob Holman, Glenn O'Brien, Max Blagg and Susana Sedgwick.

Plus: a special DJ set by Jaleel of TV on the Radio. More great DJing by Greg Poole, Brant Lee, Alix Brignol, Natasha Diggs, Huggy Bear, Rob Alioa and Sister From Another Planet. And: a special screening of "Wild Style" by Charlie Ahearn. And surprise guests! $15 cover charge. 21 and over (it's a bar, after all).

Keep looking for new developments at the East Village Eye website, where we will continue to add to the discourse with more issues and other materials about the Eye, the East Village and the era.
