JOE DRISCOLL
DJ SET BY JOURNEYMAN$15 - includes some food and drink for those who get there early!

Proceeds will go to Chances for Children and the Creche de l'Enfant Jesus where they provide orphans with a safe and sane sanctuary, and return them to a healthy state while they wait for a family to adopt them.
The orphanage lies on the outskirts of the city, but because of the devastation in the Haitian infrastructure their food and water supply will be depleted by next week. New Yorkers, Duke and Lisa Scoppa, are in the process of adopting two children from the orphanage and are now heading this fund raiser to get the orphanage the supplies they need to survive.

92y is the best music venue in nyc

Come on. 92Y is certainly not the best venue. The sound system is decent, but under-utilized. The sightlines are awful, as is the layout. There are some decent acts booked, but certainly not at a consistently high level. Oh yeah, and the venue manager is complete prick, always has been going back to when he worked at Joe's Pub.
