Black & Light Ball 4 : A Psychedelic Spring Formal

On May 9th we welcome in a new era of psychedelia to NYC and the world. An annual high-tech sendoff of Truman Capote's Black & White Ball, BLB is part masquerade, part love parade with any form of glowy finery acceptable for this night of art, dancing and full-on black-light.

When: Saturday Night, May 9th, 10pm til 5am+ with a styling pre-party 8-10
Where: Collective Hardware- 169 Bowery just south of Delancey/Kenmare and north of Broome.
Cost: $25- Event expected to sell out.
Style: Black light reactive, neon colors and luminescent white, things that glow, blink or leave trailssssssss. Retro chic, future geek or time travel. The dancefloor will be HOT--- Less is Best!
Pre-Party 8-10pm in the Psychedelic Styling Salon... Body paint, costume accessories & cheap libations.

DJs: spinning electro house and groovy breaks until dawn. Chill upstairs, dancing down,
