OP! in Pittsburgh this Saturday

This Saturday, May 19, I Love Vinyl resident OP! is playing at Classic Material in Pittsburgh, PA, with fellow NYC dj Sam Champ!

Saturday (2moro) Love

After carefully considering a bunch of venues, and doing the party at a couple, we feel great about choosing Littlefield as the new home for I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side. We know everyone had their own favorite. From our perspective, Littlefield was the best overall choice. It's easy to get to. It has a kick-ass soundsystem (which is going to get even kick-assier). It's got plenty of room. And most importantly, there is a great team of people working there who understand and appreciate the music we play, and the feeling we strive to create for all of you. In other words, positive vibrations!

One change to be aware of. Our parties there will always start at 11pm. So we are extending our usual offer of reduced admission with RSVP to 11:30. As always, the cutoff time is the cutoff time. So if you want to make sure you get in reduced, come early! : )

See you tomorrow!

This month's stop on the Bk Ward Tour finds us at the great Cameo Gallery in Williamsburg. It's on North 6th between Berry and Wythe, across the street from Barely Legal Apparel. L train to Bedford. Cameo is a killer venue. And they have the coolest Tron meets coral reef lighting installation. Take note that this party starts at midnight, and that rsvp is good for the first 30 mins. See you on the dancefloor!

And we don't stop!

As promised, the show must go on. And go on it will at Brooklyn's Littlefield, just steps away from Southpaw. For those of you whose pulse rates are already elevating at the mention of c.h.a.n.g.e., we provide this handy map, where "A" is Southpaw, and "B" is Littlefield, as if to say, "it's the same, just around the corner". Even the names sound similar... As much as we loved our little Southpaw basement, we hope Littlefield will be an improvement (read, same, but better), with more room to dance and enough bass to thump you into next week. For subway directions from wherever you are, just click on the map and change "A" to your point of departure, so to speak.
