Wednesday, December 31st - New Year's Eve!
Galapagos Art Space
and
Shanghai Mermaid present
~ a very, very sexy New Years Eve ~
 "New Years Eve Pick ... Ring in the New Year at this sexy bash."
- Time Out NY
"This is how everyone should spend their New Year's."
- NY Press
Join us on New Year's Eve as we partner with Shanghai Mermaid - and pull back the curtain on a dark and wonderful night of cabaret and performance.
Years ago we had a thought; if we had to work on New Year's Eve then we were going to make damn sure we made the party that we'd absolutely die to go to if we weren't in fact working. Well, we did it.
Think of the 1920-30's Jazz Age speakeasies of Paris, Shanghai, and Weimar, Berlin. The world was bright, new, wondrous. Prosperity seemed to stretch out forever. The infamous parties brought out the most scandalous natures in the most well-mannered people, ahem.
So dust off your fedoras, feather boas, sequined gowns, flapper dresses, and oriental attire... and be warned that your evening best might get a little ruffled, but we'll be sure to ruffle your evening best in just the right places.
A limited amount of advance tickets can be purchased here. Tickets available on the eve of 2008, and when we turn it up a notch after midnight - in 2009!

GALAPAGOS ART SPACE WANTS YOU
AT OBAMA'S INAUGURATION
On January 20th, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.
Galapagos Art Space is organizing a bus to Washington DC and we're inviting you to join us - as a group - to watch the inauguration together on the National Mall.
How?
We're going to split the cost of a bus to Washington DC and back. It comes out to $73 per person.
When?
We'll leave from Galapagos Art Space late on the night of January 19th and arrive early in the morning on January 20th. We'll watch the inauguration and spend part of the early afternoon in DC, and then return to Galapagos Art Space on the evening of the 20th.
What to expect:
1) To join two to four million other Americans expressing their elation, joy, and hope for the future of our country.
2) Galapagos Art Space will plan everything. We're good at this. We'll even tie all of our mittens together so no one gets lost.
3) That it will be cold. That it will rain. That it will snow. That there will be a flood. That there will be a hurricane. That you'll lose your scarf. That your feet will be cold. That you'll have a runny nose. But will you care? No. You won't care, because you'll be there. And because we'll have brought extra scarves, good hats, and warm shoes!
If you'd like to come with us to Obama's inauguration, email us at inauguration@galapagosartspace.com and we'll send you the link to buy tickets.
We're very excited to be planning this and we think it will be both fun and a grand adventure.
