Mark Yer Calendars: Monday is Black Dynamite at the Troc!

After the success of our Zombieland screening back in February, we are teaming up with Shmitten Kitten and our friends over at The Trocadero for another Movie Monday event. This time we will be showing our favorite faux '70s Blaxploitation flick, Black Dynamite!

The party kicks off on Monday, April 26th at 6:30pm. The event will be 21+ and a mere $3. Not only does that $3 go towards a drink, but get there before 7pm and get a free bag of popcorn as well. In case you've never heard of the film (shame on you!), the over-the-top plot goes something like this:
Black Dynamite is a seamless recreation (it was even shot on 16mm!) of '70s Blaxploitation classics staring Michael Jai White (Spawn) as the ex-CIA, Vietnam veteran, Kung-fu master and ultimate badass, Black Dynamite.  In a solid nod to the genre, “The Man” has not only killed Black Dynamite’s brother, but is pumping heroin into the local orphanage, and has even flooded the ghetto with a secret weapon disguised as common malt liquor. Of course, Black Dynamite is the only one who can stop him and get revenge for the death of his brother.
To keep the '70s vibe of Black Dynamite going all night long at the Troc, we are going to have a costume contest, with prizes for the person with the most decade-correct apparel.  And after the screening, you can look forward to a '70s disco dance party hosted by Shmitten Kitten, all for $3!
Black Dynamite wasn’t in theaters for very long and I can’t wait to see this film on the big screen.  So come out, watch a film with the geeks at Geekadelphia and party with all the cuties from Shmitten Kitten.

We’ve got a Facebook event page. Feel free to RSVP and let us know you’re coming.
This is gonna be awesome. Here's the movie trailer for all of you jive turkeys.

Tonight: Get Happy Houred At Johnny Brenda's

Hey homies! Tonight is the night that I, aka Anna aka DJ Goy Toy will deejay happy hour at Johnny Brenda's. It's from 5pm-10pm and it will be insanely happy. Ecstatic, even.

Swing by and let's get this weekend started already.  

Look how happy he is! This could be you.

Attention Weekend Warriors: Start This Weekend Off Right

It's gonna feel like this for your ears
I, aka Anna aka DJ Goy Toy, am deejaying happy hour at Johnny Brenda's this Friday, April 16. It's from 5pm-10pm which is a lot of hours to get happy and I intend to use all of them to the full legal limit.

I'm gonna take everyone on a magic journey through space and time as I dazzle you with obscure monk chants. Not really. I'll mostly play music that you probably already own and already know most of the words to the songs. Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Jawbreaker, Descendents, early Metallica, '60s soul; it's all gonna get played. It'll be a fantastic soundtrack to sip lagers to. 

I know we're all over replying to Facebook invites, but if you're gonna come let us know and if you have any requests, write 'em on the wall or leave 'em in the comments. Is it Friday yet?

Peep the Facebook invite here.

As always, it's free and it starts at 9pm and it's Upstairs at the Khyber. Weeeeeeee!

Listen Up: Shmitten Kitten's Crucial Hang Is Tonight!

I've come to terms with the fact that I will probably never curate a Biennial at the Whitney. However, if you gave me $5, I could pick some pretty perfect songs on a jukebox. And, that's what our night Crucial Hang is all about; playing perfect jukebox songs.

I'll be there with Roland Cassard, Diamond Dealer, the hot dude I always deejay with. How hot is he? Well, he looks like Jarvis Cocker but with better dance moves. Haha. He's totally gonna kill me for saying that. No, he won't kill me because he's a lover, not a fighter. If anything he'll probably high-five me. That's just how he rolls.

It all starts at 10pm at Tritone, which is located on 1508 South St. And, it's free. Click on Elvis' adorable face to see the Facebook page if you're into that sort of thing.

As an aside, HOW CUTE IS ELVIS IN THAT PICTURE? Could you imagine what his neck smells like? I'll bet he smells like laundry, grass and sweat, but in a good way.

Where was I? Oh, right. See you tonight!

ps: I'm also deejaying this Saturday, March 20th at Grasshopper.

pps: We're having our Spring Fling on Saturday, March 27th Upstairs at the Khyber. Get ready for it.

March 16, 2010

What Would Cher Do?

Um, she'd shop til she dropped, obviously.

On that note, my homegirl Alexis and I are going to play some music at Grasshopper, a supercute store in Center City on Saturday, March 20th from 11am - 7pm.

Good news: I just looked at the forecast for Saturday and it calls for AMAZING DEALS AND STEALS because everything in the store is 25% off the entire day. You can pick your jaw up off the floor now.

Stop by, say hi, and check their stuff out. Click on the flier to peep the Facebook page.

As always, you can check our events page to see what fun things we have planned. And, let me tell you, as the temperature heats up, so do our plans. It's like we're finally emerging from the winter doldrums and diving headfirst into Corona-and-tank-top town. And, for the record, it's really fun there. Trust us.

Listen Up: Shmitten Kitten's Crucial Hang

Hey guys! I'm gonna deejay with my homeboy, Roland Cassard, Diamond Dealer on Thursday, March 18th at Tritone. We'll go from 10pm until they kick us out. And, it's free!

We're calling it a Crucial Hang because you can bring your friends, sit around and have some drinks. It'll be chill.

For those of you who have attended our dance parties at the Khyber, Mr. Cassard is the hot dude with the glasses who's deejayed the Brit-pop sets. He should really change his name to LL Cool C because ladies love cool Cassard. Haha! 

I'm gonna play Motown and '60s rock 'n' roll. He's gonna play whatever he feels like. Basically, our goal is to hang out and play the perfect jukebox soundtrack. Please come and hang out. It should be radical.

Come Hear Us Talk About Love, Love

The folks at the Social Media Club of Philly have asked me to lead a panel about digital love. It's all going down on Wednesday, Feb. 24th from 6pm-8pm at Jolly's Dueling Piano Bar, which is on 20th and Chestnut. This place has the word "jolly" in the name. How can it not be a good time?

I know what you're thinking: "Digital Love? What's that? Like robots hooking up?" No, I won't be talking about robots hooking up. However, I will be talking about:
  • why we decided to blog about dating
  • how we built an audience/following
  • the stories. oh my, the stories.
  • the process of monetizing the site
  • safety tips of using social media when you're dating
Have you ever seen me speak publicly? I talk like this:


Now is your chance to ask me anything you want! I'll be a Formspring come to life. Fire away with your toughest questions. Hit me with your best shot. Everyone is invited and it's FREE! Grab a ticket here. Hurry up, because we expect it to sell out. Well, even though it's free. Can free stuff sell out? Is that possible? What is in this brownie? Why do we drive in a parkway and park in a driveway? I could really go for a pint of Phish Food right about now. These colors are delicious.

Just come!

Philly, Come Over Here For A Second: We Are Having A Dance Party Tomorrow Night

As someone who honestly doesn't give a fuck about Valentine's Day this year, I'm pretty much jumping up and down every second because I am so excited for this party. People ask me, "Anna, why throw a Valentine's Day party? Why now? Why you?"

Once I push the mic out of my face, I tell them that YES, we certainly need more parties because I've already hooked up with everyone at the other parties around town. I need a NEW party. One with radical people who are quick to give me high-fives and buy me Kenzingers with no expectation of conversation afterwards, and the ability to spell my name correctly in their cell phones after I slur my number into their ear. Nay, I DEMAND it!

Hence, our party was born. I'll be deejaying along with my two homies and we'll be playing the music that we've always wanted to hear when we go out dancing; Creed, Staind, Nickelback and Limp Bizkit.

Just kidding.

Seriously, I'm going to play music that will flip your lid. As a bonus, I'm going to play the two songs that I would dance to if I ever entered an amateur stripping contest like Liv Tyler did in that Aerosmith video (btw, how creepy was that? That's her DAD's band!) What two songs? Well, you'll just have to show up to find out!

Ugh, I'm terrible with secrets. Fuck it. They're "Hot for Teacher" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Well, the amateur stripping cat is out of the amateur stripping bag, I guess. I will play these songs, as well as dozens of other ones that you will love.

We will also have special presents for everyone that comes to thank them for being the best readers/ dancers/ radical humans on the planet. As always, our party is free and everyone is invited. Facebook info is here.

One more thing: after you shake the glitter from your clothes and wiped the sweat off your face, WhirtWhirl.com is the official place we've designated to post any missed connections from the party. Act like you know!

*We promise to give more kisses than horns.

SK V-Day Par-Tay

Dude! Totally! Radical! Free! Fun! Party! Um, what else? Drinks! Kisses! Rapture! Lace! Pleather! Pleasure! Mixing Business With Pleasure! Business Trips! Airline Miles! Alright, we're getting kind of weird and just doing a free association shout out at this point, so we'll stop.

But, we wanted to let you know that we're having our first ever Valentine's Day dance party and we're pretty fuckin' pumped about it (sorry to swear, but we're really excited.) Check out this wicked awesome deejay line-up:
ALXS
Mood setters

Jennacide
Fist pumpers

Goy Toy (aka me, Anna)
Lid flippers

Roland Cassard, Diamond Dealer
Brit-poppers

We'll have something for everyone. Well, most people. Who like to dance. To radical music. While drinking.

Come out. It's your shot to get a kiss from a bonafide Shmitten Kitten! Ooh-la-la.

Philly, Your Kiss Is On Our List

The ungodly amount of pink-foiled chocolates and heart balloons bombarding us at every corner drug store tipped us off: It's almost Valentine's Day. And, if you're single, that means that it's almost time to crinkle your nose as you realize that your love life is as fertile as a sand trap. You console yourself with the thought that it's just a Hallmark holiday concocted by restaurants and florists to shake couples down for cash--those capitalistic bastards!

However, if you're us, you'll see it as a time to not give a fuck and embrace your inner red hot. We're throwing a V-Day Dance Par-tay on Sat., Feb. 13th Upstairs at the Khyber. Click on the image to see the FB page.

On the 1s and 2s, we'll have:
ALXS spinnin' mood setters
Jennacide blastin' fist pumpers
Goy Toy wowing with lid flippers
Roland Cassard, Diamond Dealer swayin' with Brit-poppers
Come! Let's love love, together.

We've Seen A Hundred Faces...And We Rocked 'Em All!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night to our first ever dance party at National Mechanics. It was a total blast. It was amazing to stand on the dj riser with headphones on and watch the crowd lose their minds to Chumbawumba while Can't Hardly Wait played on the screen behind me. I could've sworn that I even saw a mosh pit swirl around during "Give It Away." I've never deejayed at a party like this before; controlling the iPod at a house party is the most I've done deejay-wise. But now I understand the appeal of it. Guys were high-fiving me, girls were giving me thumbs ups; it was awesome. And all I did was push a play button!

A huge thanks goes out to Roz, JP, and Kelani from BarCamp Philly for trusting me with the fun-ness of their after-party. A ginormous thanks goes out to DJ Jon Gill for being the Obi-Wan to my Skywalker. He was straight-up radical and I couldn't have done it without him. And, a huge thanks goes to me for having a subscription to Spin magazine during my formative years so that I could slap together a '90s alternative playlist with some authority. I can't wait to do it again soooooon.

[PS: The first person to email me at hi@shmittenkitten.com and tell me where that picture is taken from wins a free set of Shmitten Kittens pins. Good luck!]

[Update: Big ups to Samantha for correctly identifying the photo. It's from Britney's "Crazy" video. Yup, that's Melissa Joan Hart up at the dj booth with her twisty '90s hair. Well done, Sam. Your pins are in the mail.]

After After-Party With Us At The BarCamp Philly After After-Party

Guys, we are having a free dance party on Saturday, Nov. 14th at National Mechanics. It's the official after after-party for BarCamp Philly and we'll be spinning '90s alternative music. It's gonna be insanely fun. Look for us; we'll be twirling around the middle of the dancefloor in rapture like it's our fifth birthday and we just got the Peaches 'n' Cream Barbie that we begged our Mom for. Come!!!

In the Department of Hell Yeah: We're Throwing A Shmitten Kitten Dance Party

When, the fine folks at BarCamp Philly approached us about helping out with their after-party, we didn't even hesitate to say yes. We jumped up and down like we'd just won a date with Growing Pains-era Kirk Cameron off a radio contest. It'll go down on Saturday, Nov. 14th at National Mechanics and everyone is invited. All the info is on the amazing flier below, which was designed by our own resident graphic designer (and my sister), Rachel Goldfarb.

What better way to work off your Halloween candy overload than by bopping around to '90s alternative music with us? Did we mention that it's free? 'Cause it is. Did we mention that we'll have prizes and general all-around fun-ness? 'Cause we will. Did we mention that we hope to see your beautiful faces there? Because we do!



p.s.: How rad is it that we changed the Sony logo on the walkman to say Shmitten Kitten? Nice work, Rachel!
