A GOOD REASON TO USE YOUR CELL PHONE AT A PARTY
Cell Phone? Check.
Jumpsuit? Check.
Cocktail? Double check.
Welcome to LVHRD’s next new media communication experiment entitled (CLL) PHN-LCKN ’09. Coming to a soon-to-be disclosed location in Tribeca Monday January 26th at 9PM, this party encourages mass cell phone use. Here’s how this thing goes down. Upon entry, guests are given a jumpsuit with a number and asked to fill out a short bio like the one in the image above. These jumpsuit-wearing fashionistas are then treated to cocktail-like libations from Dewar’s and Sapporo and music from Portland-based band Yacht.
Conversations between strangers at this party are enabled via cell phone. Upon gazing over at the bushy-haired hipster boy across the way, I can look up the number on his jumpsuit for the profile he provided on the way in. I can then either choose to engage in conversation concerning something I read in his witty bio or stalk him from afar.
All data will be collected by a master database to monitor the experiment’s success rate. In essence, it’s like a live action version of Facebook or Twitter with cocktails for extra fun.
Tickets are $30 with open bar. Click here to purchase and remember:
No jumpsuit. No cell phone. No service.
