On September 12, JACKIE FACTORY producers CHI CHI VALENTI and JOHNNY DYNELL will present their fourth annual LOW LIFE to crown the 2010 HOWL! FESTIVAL. LOW LIFE is the free and fabulous Sunday evening climax to HOWL! - a two hour spectacular inspired by East Village decades past. This year's LOW LIFE 4: BEAT GIRL pays homage to homegrown fifties beatnik culture and the BOWERY BEATS - the rebel painters, poets and performers drifting east from Greenwich Village. The BEAT theme will be interpreted by dozens of performers including Burlesque Queen DIRTY MARTINI, butoh company VANGELINE THEATER, crooner ADAM DUGAS, spoken word icons PAUL SKIFF and BOBBY MILLER, Sensationalist AMBER RAY, chanteuse HEATHER LITTEER, dance performance troupe the RACHEL KLEIN THEATER and MCs PAUL ALEXANDER (of THE ONES and JACKIE 60) with EMPRESS CHI CHI VALENTI. The show features remixes of classic Beat-era material by JOHNNY DYNELL, the show's co-producer.

Downtown Divas extraordinaire SUSANNE BARTSCH and KENNY KENNY continue to rule Sunday nights with their weekly VANDAM party, providing a dressed-up night out for their faithful followers and new acolytes alike. A 2009 BEST OF NEW YORK now 1 1/2 years young, VANDAM is wildly popular and insanely well-dressed in the most CREATIVE way. An integral part of the magic is DJ JOHNNY DYNELL rocking the dancefloor with his unique mix of what MICHAEL MUSTO dubbed "oldish new and newish old". Other weekly highlights include visually stunning guest performers, fabulous tableau from DIRTY MARTINI, AJOSHUA and CHUCK ATTIX and JORDAN FOX upstairs, and a downstairs DISCO DUNGEON helmed by DESI MONSTER and LADYFAG. Add free admission, complimentary cocktails 10-10:30 and the marvelously mixed crowd and this is a weekend MUST.

JOHNNY MAKES BUBBLES
THE BUBBLE LOUNGE

NO COVER

It's a treat to hear great NYC club DJs like Johnny spin in a more intimate setting, as they do at the Thursday-night TINY BUBBLES DJ series at BUBBLE LOUNGE. There is no cover, and either Johnny or one of an eclectic September group of spinners (including JON JON BATTLES) will be manning the decks from 9 PM - 1 AM. This Tribeca mainstay is a perfect place to bring the boys (or girls) for a round or a bottle of champers and some dancing, and has a marvelously mixed crowd - gay, straight, local, tourist, etc. and even the local firemen from the "Ghostbusters" firehouse are known to stop by after work! Johnny spins Thursday 9/23 as part of TINY BUBBLES, and also look out for Saturdays 9/4 and 9/18, when Dynell mans the decks from 10 PM - 2 AM.
