Last weekend hundreds of you came out to celebrate Danger in
the second stage build-out of our new Brooklyn Crime Lab.

Some pictures from the event can be seen here:

Thank you to everyone who made the event such an amazing
experience, from the random acts of kindness, to the dancing
on the rope bridge, to the Danger Blender, to the love of
the dance floor through late the next day. To the hundreds
of you who weren't able to RSVP in time we apologize for the
limitations on attendance. We had to severely limit the
RSVP's in order to satisfy the landlord and the local
police. But now that we have proved that events like that
can happen without anyone losing a finger, be prepared for
much larger forays into the wilds of Brooklyn.

In the meantime, our next public event is this Saturday.
See below for your invite to cleanse your soul with one wild
night of devilry...

New Lost City : Revival : Saturday March 25th
A night of spiritual hedonism.

7pm to 7am
@ 69 West 14th St.
on the corner of 6th Ave., Manhattan
Details: http://www.newlostcity.com

In this era of empty truth, epic violence, and empire run
amok, we bring this night of hedonistic cleansing for your
salacious soul. For one night in Manhattan, join devils and
divas, Reverends and revolutionaries, and hysterical heretics
at the altar of beats, dance and irrational exuberance.

This is how we save ourselves.

Starting *live* in the room above:
With the infamous Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop
Shopping at 8:30pm with gospel songs and stories from the
recent nationwide tour converting consumers throughout
middle America. Then the grime gospel impresario Reverend
Vince and the Love Choir shake your soul to a degree that
must be heard to be believed, you will dance and yell
Hallelujah and love it. Later, God is My Copilot rounds it
out with a special show of new music mixing dance beats with
their classic outsider rock sound.

At midnight the music turns to breaks and intelligent techno
with Wolf + Lamb (www.wolflambmusic.com), Spinoza, DJ Ripley
(from San Francisco), Jason BK (Blackkat) and more creating
a pilgrimage of dance through sunrise.

In the room below:
Winkel Presents: The harem for lost souls, a cozy lounge
featuring music from around the planet with hookas by Balk
Tick and Hooka Mike, special elixir bar and video
projections. Plus roving performances of the lost vs. saved
curated by Akim Funk with costumes by C-Spot Designs.

This Saturday, bare your soul...

For you Angels: come dressed in your own manifestation of
purity, of delicacy, of the deviant angel and the yang over
yin. For this you will be rewarded with free drinks of our
Angel juice, vanilla gelato mixed with vanilla vodka or
Irish cream.

For the Devils, come dressed in your own manifestation of
the dark and the scandalous, the fallen angel with no
interest in return. For this you are rewarded with our own
special elixir of fire.

And yes, there is more... Full details will be released at
the end of the week.

Only $9 with a ticket bought at:
http://www.newlostcity.com
Or $15 with an RSVP from
http://www.newlostcity.com/rsvp.html
$20 at the door for the stragglers.

New Lost City : Call for Performers

We are looking for movement performers, stilt walkers and
fire dancers to join the mass performance piece curated by
Akim Funk Buddha and costumed by C-Spot Designs for this
Saturday's New Lost City. You will be creating the event
atmosphere of heavenly Gomorra with simple acts and sweeping
costumes.

This involves: one rehearsal on Thursday from 7pm to 8:30pm
(or so), being measured and costumed by C-Spot designs, free
entrance to the event for you and a friend, free drinks all
night through one night of infamy in a sea of adoring revelers.

If you are interested reply to this message with some words
about your past experience, or what you can bring to make
this interesting (formal experience isn't required.)

You are the artstar and this night is your stage.

Danger! : Next they Come for You

Yes, we've been hosting allot of events lately, but we are
still focused on our outsider activist roots. In these cold
days of winter (or is it now spring?) we need these weekends
of excess in order to purge the mania building inside. Our
world is burning and our value system has been upended.
While the kings of Halliburton ravage Iraq for profits, the
local authorities have turned their attention to their most
feared threat. Activists.

Recently the New York Times had a front page article
detailing the obscene tactics of the police in infiltrating
activist groups to cause violence, confusion and dissension.
The full article is at:
http://www.infoshop.org/inews/article.php?story=2006nycpd2002
>
More pointedly is the Green Scare. Instead of focusing on
the threat from real terrorism, Federal authorities are
rounding up Eco Activists across the country with severe
penalties for non-violent crimes. See more at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Scare

We don't condone violence of any kind, but as these vicious
cycles continue we wonder what can be done to save ourselves
beyond innocent nights of escapism with the most creative
minds we know.

If you have other ideas on how to stay sane in a world gone
awry, send an email to complacent@complacent.org and let us know.

Alive and livid in the face of a Complacent Nation.
