Drew Barrymore even performed a scandalous striptease that's been the talk of the town ever since!Come and indulge your passions for the bizarre and risqué, and let us guide you through a cabaret experience of classic burlesque, a torch singing fan dancer from New Orleans, Sword Swallower from the Sudan, a belly dancer from the orient, provocative performance art pieces, a magician from the Moscow Circus, a fabulous fire eater, and many more eye popping performances!

CLICK + DRAG 3.0
"THE HALLUCINOGENIC TOREADOR"
SANTOS PARTY HOUSE
100 LAFAYETTE STREET NYC
9 PM-4 AM
$20 ADVANCE, $25 AT DOOR
TICKETS AND INFO
myspace.com/click_drag_nyc
The pioneering "Cyber/Fetish/Gender-Hacking" party CLICK + DRAG, which ushered out the 20th Century in style, reboots as a new large-scale annual. Two of Click's founding producers - director and visual artist ROB ROTH and impresario CHI CHI VALENTI - join with XRIS SMACK! of the long-running SMack! parties to shape this latest incarnation. The first of their cyber-spectacles, CLICK + DRAG 3.0: THE HALLUCINOGENIC TOREADOR, will be unveiled on November 15 at sympatico venue SANTOS PARTY HOUSE.
CLICK + DRAG 3.0 will feature multimedia works directed by Roth and installations and performances by collaborators from the two previous iterations AND many new additions, on two floors. Returning are 1.0 producer and Burning Man eminence ABBY EHMANN as the "KINK CONTROLLER", DJs JOHANNA CONSTANTINE and SAMMY JO, Minneapolis-based Trans-Star VENUS DE MARS with her band ALL THE PRETTY HORSES and "Method Go-Go" icon FALON. 21st century additions include FX WIZARD BASIL TWIST, theatrical butoh ensemble VANGELINE THEATER, sensationalist AMBER RAY, glitter-dusted cabaret troupe THE PIXIE HARLOTS, and DJs JOHNNY DYNELL, the "FAERIE DJ POSSE" MALAKAI (San Francisco) and ANGELO and XRIS_SMACK!
CLICK + DRAG began as the Saturday-night weekly at Valenti's experimental MOTHER nightclub in 1996 and ran for four years in over two hundred themed editions. The new hybrid built on a body of work called INTERJACKIE, evolved by Roth, Valenti and costume/fashion designer KITTY BOOTS at JACKIE 60, beginning in 1994. With the addition of sex journalist ABBY EHMANN, the four producers explored the interface between nightclubs and computers as CLICK + DRAG built a fanatic following. With their rigorously enforced "STRICT CYBER/FETISH DRESS CODE" the producers ensured that only participants were allowed in. The creative collaboration introduced some pioneering aspects to the Nightworld, including Roth's notorious "Bathroom Cam", and also gave birth to THE MOTHERBOARDS NYC, a nocturnal online community.
When MOTHER closed in 2000, Roth, Boots and Ehmann launched CLICK + DRAG 2.0, a monthly edition at FUN. In its new larger format, CLICK + DRAG was thriving until the events of 9/11 shut down Chinatown for many months. Since the last edition of Click 2.0 that Fall, one of the city's most seminal and creative parties disappeared for seven years - though its many tribes stayed connected online.
CLICK + DRAG 3.0 introduces an even larger format on two floors, preserving the night's strict dress code and pansexual mix of fetishists, artists, gender-hackers and "Glam Nerds." The evening was inspired by the Dali painting "THE HALLUCINOGENIC TOREADOR", cyber-shamanism, the writings of TERENCE MCKENNA, and the new tribalism that brings Click's audience and performers together both online and at large gatherings worldwide.

dancing, ogling, salacious swag and FREE PORN! This long-awaited
return presentation of Mondo Porno will have loosely-based "giving
thanks" theme in recognition of our impending Thanksgiving. It will
also be about giving thanks for a new president!

movie "Hookin' Up," starring lotsa local talent. Bands featured
include Yes Mister Blood Vessel, opening for Sunday Masquerade,
Psychocharger, Vulgaras and the first NY appearance of the Sex Slaves
in ages! Between bands you'll be tantalized by bawdy burlesque
performers Dottie Lux and Amber Ray with St. Eve unveiling an excerpt
from her "Sex Crimes Cabaret." Your MC Editrix Abby will be tossing
sex toys, condoms, t-shirts and free porn DVDs from the stage like an
X-rated Mardi Gras!
Meanwhile, in The Lounge, Mistress HarleQuinn will hold court while
Joe sloshes the booze!

up some smut!
