Once again, all three shows are TOTALLY FREE. RSVP is open, and RSVPing also automatically enters you for a chance to win an iZotope Spire Studio portable audio recorder, a device you’ll get to try out at our shows as well.
We’re also proud to have OkCupid with us this year. As you may have heard, they’re redefining the F in DTF.
Because the F should be whatever the F you want it to be. DTFood Truck. DTForget The Rules. DTFiesta. Because there’s more to dating than swiping through a bunch of selfies and bad acronyms. Join OkCupid, because dating deserves better (and so do you).
Stop by their photobooth on site, and enter for a chance to skip our line by tagging @BrooklynVegan, @Okcupid and a friend on Twitter with a comment on how you would flip the script on #DTF. Are you #DTFrigginParty #DTFeelFabulous #DTFinishMyNovel. Also throw in #DTFiesta and #LOSTWKND2 so we can find you.
Stay tuned for lineup updates, full set times, and more streaming info.
UPDATE: FINAL LINEUP AND SET TIMES HERE.
