Bowienetter Discount For Tonight's Nyc Bash

The door to dreams was closed... (until you said 'BowieNet')

Twig The Wonderkid has been in touch with some good news about tonight's Fifth Annual Glamdammit Bowie Birthday Bash in NYC.

I'm sure all of those likely to attend were already planning to go anyway. However, if you were undecided, perhaps the lure of a 50% discount (which ended for non-BowieNetters last weekend) may still tempt you.

All you have to do is say "BowieNet" on the door and you'll get in with a generous $10 discount off normal admission. I'm always needlessly nervous about these things, but perhaps mention Twig The Wonderkid if you're met with a puzzled look.

You can read all the details regarding what sounds like a particularly exciting event by clicking on the above flyer.

Meanwhile I'll leave you with an excerpt from a TONY interview about tonight with clubland legend Michael T...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How is it that you?ve become the go-to guy for everything Bowie-related in New York City clubland?
Bowie has been a part of my life for longer than I should probably admit to in print. But of course, I?ve been obsessed with Bowie forever?literally, since the tail end of the ?70s.

Why do you think Bowie, and glam in general, still have such an appeal to them?
The very simplistic reason would be that so much music is so hideous nowadays! But Bowie?s music is just so good, and it?s obviously provocative in terms of its look, which is something that?s missing with most music today. Also, I think that people tend to romanticize eras that they?ve missed out on; I know I do. And let?s face it?Bowie is such an icon, and has been so influential on music, not only at the time but with so much that came after. Punk, New Wave, all the ?90s Britpop bands, electronic music, electroclash?there are very few artists with such a wide influence. Glam as a whole, whether it?s Bowie or Roxy Music or Queen or Cockney Rebel or Alice Cooper or the New York Dolls, has had a huge impact. And perhaps most important, I think it?s just fun.
