"I can see by your coat, my friend
You're from the other side...
Can you tell me please, who won the war ?"
- From "Wooden Ships" - Crosby, Stills and Nash/ Jefferson Airplane


The 2016 edition of the fabled JACKIE 60 BROWN PARTY - "WOODEN SHIPS" - is set in a post-apocalyptic East Village devoid of power, wifi, Yelp or Fro-Yo. Ragged bands of survivors entertain themselves in a secret nightclub bunker as the radioactive ruins smolder. Producers CHI CHI VALENTI, JOHNNY DYNELL and SAMMY JO of THE JACKIE FACTORY and AMBER MARTIN and NATH ANN CARRERA of WITCH CAMP will create this nightscape where "Only The Brown Survive".

Inspired by the iconic CROSBY, STILLS + NASH song and events in the EV days after SUPERSTORM SANDY, the Brown Party returns to last year's venue THE BLACK ROSE on Avenue A. Highlights will include Martin and Carrera performing the title song, frequent Factory collaborator SEVERELY MAME, JACKIE MCs PAUL ALEXANDER and HATTIE HATHAWAY, DJs Sammy Jo and (original Brown Party DJ) ALTHEA LOVELESS, and more.

JACKIE 60 producers THE JACKIE FACTORY (Dynell, Valenti, KITTY BOOTS + RICHARD MOVE) threw their first BROWN PARTY at the club in 1991. A tongue-in-cheek take on the era's ubiquitous BLACK PARTY and WHITE PARTY on the gay "circuit", the night was an immediate cult hit. Along with the spectacular NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES (now in its 26th year), the Brown Party became one of J60's most beloved annuals. It was staged every year till host venue MOTHER closed in 2000, and once in 2006 aboard the FRYING PAN.

The event returned in 2015 as part of MOTHER FIFTEEN (celebrating fifteen years since the eccentric, artistic Meatpacking venue MOTHER closed its doors). Reborn for a new time, with a fresh AND familiar crowd, the Brown Party now returns annually. This year's edition marks sixteen years to the night that MOTHER closed with the marathon
MOTHER'S END.

PRIDE WEEKEND EVENTS

FRIDAY JUNE 24
JOHNNY SPINS AT SAMSUNG 837


Friday, June 24th, join SAMSUNG 837 for an exclusive DJ set by Johnny Dynell, hosted in the main stage, as we celebrate Pride Weekend.  In February 2016, Samsung opened its doors to a non-retail, multi-floor experience center for visitors in the heart of the Jackie Factory's old stomping grounds, NYC's Meatpacking District. This is the first time Samsung will have a flagship building anywhere in the world, which they describe as "a playground of discovery where CULTURE and TECHNOLOGY collide."

About the Artist: Johnny Dynell is the New York City DJ, producer, songwriter, remixer and impresario who has been practicing his art and craft for over three decades. His DJ style is infectious and inclusive, and he is a long-time favorite of New York's art and fashion crowds as well as generations of Club Kids. He is equally at home at a black tie gala - like the annual Elton John Aids Foundation Academy Awards party - or the most underground nightclub. He brings to both an impressive knowledge of diverse musical genres, and currently is Musical Director for Max Mara World. Dynell has spun the soundtrack at thousands of enchanted evenings both at home and abroad over the years..

SUNDAY 6/26
(GAY PRIDE SUNDAY)
COLBY WALSH PRESENTS
The 'UN - OFFICIAL' GAY PRIDE PARADE DAY SPECTACLE

 
Promoter COLBY WALSH of last year's KLÜB introduces a new spectacle just off the Parade route on Pride Sunday. This "freshly minted concept party at the infamous underground New York staple - SONO" - should be a hoot. Walsh promises to "deliver all the thrills of a late night set with the bandur (sic) of a fierce cocktail hour drag show. Combine SONO's world class sound with the talents of DJs JOHNNY DYNELL, RICO ALEXIS and special GUEST STAR of RUPAULS DRAG RACE Season 6 GIA GUNN.  So start your engines ladies, gents and all the mischievous flavors in between. Come join us for the beginning of a new GAY PRIDE TRADITION."

Johnny spins 2-6 PM - which is the absolute PEAK of the afternoon Parade aftermath - and perhaps even later if the sashaying masses demand it. This is an ideal stop for libations, a twirl, a bathroom, a kik and of course - great beats.
