If you want to be put on the guest list for a DISCOUNT at the door, please
e-mail me -
caron_banez@wmg.com and let me know which nights you are interested in
attending and I'll put you on the list.
For those of you who are new to the city and are not familiar with Giant
Step, they have been putting on these live gigs/parties since their first
party which was a JB's Funky Family Reunion in 1990. In the past year
alone, they have welcomed the likes of Jamiroquai, Omar, Tricky, Roy Ayers,
Massive Attack, Incognito, Carleen Anderson, etc. to their clubs and their
free 5 year anniversary last summer featured the Ohio Players, Chico
Science, Repercussions, and Groove Collective. They are established and
known throughout the world and are in the process of launching a new record
label with GRP.
Separately, while I have the attention of all you New Yorkers, if anyone
knows about a room for rent or a relatively inexpensive sublet or a 2
bedroom for rent downtown, please e-mail me. (My lease is up and I'm
looking with and without my room-mates.)
See y'all thursday nights.
Peace out,
Caron
