Insha-'alla this week - the sound system goes surround as soundproofing is being added... plus Steve-O's doing deco and it's Luis Influx's birthday with an all star cast of DJs!

Wednesday March 30 - The Goa Trash energy has found a new home.  Last Wednesday night was the Grand Opening for the new weekly Insha'allah at the lounge/club Carthage in the East Village.  Carthage is on Avenue B between 3rd and 4th street across from Le Souk.  Free, ID21+. 10pm-4am. 

Insha'allah translates roughly to "If God Wills."  This is the weekly meeting of the Christian Muslim Jewish Drinking Society. promoting tolerance, understanding, camaraderie and maybe even friendship amongst those from various creeds through mutual alcohol consumption, apple flavored tobacco smoked through hookahs, and psychedelic trance.  The venue is gorgeous and the potential is vast.  It's a combination of all the best qualities of all the venues used in the past few years,  with the hookah decor of Karma with the class of Boom.  A perfect marriage.  Many take their shoes off.  Great owners, long hours, good kitchen, free.  Occasional free food.  No thugs.  And no security, the Moroccan guys take care of that.  The bathrooms are very clean, always a plus.  The whole places feels like the an upscale version of the Cantina in Star Wars.  Lounge area in the front, dance  area in the back.  Door by Jackie P, Deco by Steve-O, Machinelf is your host.  The kitchen stays open until 2am.
