Ah Andy Warhol! Born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, PA, the highly controversial pop artist who coined the expression "15 minutes of fame" (who died on February 27, 1987 from complications with gallbladder surgery) would have been 81 years old today. What a better way to celebrate his day of birth than with a Gowanus dance party!The folks over at The Bell House have teamed up with Cloud City and Swingset Magazine to bring us "Lift", a free celebration equipped with DIY Brillo-style boxes, a DJ table adorned with silver foil, and Warhol's own quirky, perverted films will be projected on the walls for your viewing pleasure while DJ s Steve Lowenthal (Swingset Magazine), Bobbi Lupo (Apartment Show), Miho Hatori (formerly of Cibo Matto) and Cassie (of Vivian Girls) spin tracks so we can dance all night.
So grab some over-sized sunglasses, don a ridiculous wig, wear some leather, starve yourself for a week, pack your cigarettes, and become a Factory girl (or boy) for the night!
