If you are, you probably belong at Heebonism…I have to admit that Christmas Carol Karaoke does intrigue me (while strip dreidel does not, actually)…and Heebonism is happening in five cities, so all y’all who are always like, “only New York has cool things, no fair!”, just go…and if you go, report back to Jewlicious!
Heebonism New York will take place at the Knitting Factory and start with an hour-long open bar from 9:00-10 p.m. The 21+ blowout will feature live sets by Original Hamster, Terry Diabolik (Finger on the Pulse), June D (White Dove) and DJ Krowd Pleezr, Christmas Carol Karaoke, “Strip Dreidel” led by Kinkyjews.com and all sorts of other Semitic salaciousness. The event runs from 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. (open bar courtesy of LinLin Vodka for the first hour) and will be held at the Knitting Factory (74 Leonard Street, New York, NY). Tickets are $20 in advance (Knittingfactory.com) or $25 at the door. (The event is 21+)
Heebonism Los Angeles will take place at the Clothing of the American Mind Headquarters in Echo Park (1284 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90026) and run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The night will feature DJ Lillyanne of FUTUREHO– USE fame and, yes, Strip Dreidel.

You made various good points there. I did a search on the matter and found mainly folks will go along with with your blog.
I’ma be there in NYC. Pleased inform the usual suspects because I will be drunk, surly and lookin’ for trouble. For serious.
I’ll be on a train coming home from my sister’s and have to miss it (and all other hip Jewish things that night in Chicago).
If I was in tow, I’d probably be at Knishmas instead, but I’m just one person, I’m sure they’ll all rock.
