The Deli's Insane Hodge Podge Party
TONIGHT 03.11.05!
- a party organised by Todd P.
- 8 pm until freaking late!!! -

THIS PARTY WILL BE AT THE ASTERISK ART CENTER - link - directions

Benji Cossa Diamond Nights

Todd P was recently nominated by the Village Voice “BEST THROWER OF NO-BULLSHIT FAR-FLUNG INDIE ROCK SHOWS” in the 2004 best of New York.

The Deli was nominated - just now! - by The Deli Magazine itself "BEST NO BULLSHIT NOT SO FAR-FLUNG FREE MAGAZINE ENTIRELY FOCUSED ON NYC MUSIC SCENE".

This party was obviously bound to happen.

Todd chose all the bands playing this party - and yes, it's not going to be a show but a real party, like if we were in somebody's (huge) private basement.

Todd P has a knack for booking great (and pretty insane) artists. How else would you describe these pictures?

Aa (big A littlea) Lucky Dragons

FUN, EXTREME CREATIVITY and DIY are "the" words. Guys, I'm not just saying it... this is how Sara Marcus from the Village Voice describes the man and his parties:

"Ah, the paradox of New York rock: There are concerts every night, but it's nearly impossible to have fun at one. Unless, of course, the show was set up by TODD P. A transplant from Portland, Oregon, where DIY doesn't become passé on your 21st birthday, Todd P. books some of this city's greatest musicians (Orthrelm, Currituck County) along with excellent touring acts.... Drinks are cheap, and displays of enthusiasm are the norm." (Village Voice)
