LVHRD: (CLL) PHN - LCKN 2009

The last time LVHRD had the CLL PHN LCKN event, it was at MoMa. Our cellphones were confiscated, bagged up and nailed to a giant wall. The wall became an artful display of flashing and vibrating mobile phones. Oh yea, we wandered around the MoMa afterhours while sipping on a what seem to be an endless supply of alcohol.

This year was totally different. It was at the 92Y in Tribeca. We were handed white jumpsuits with different numbers on it when we checked in. We got to keep our phones. The big theme of this event was texting. Yup, they got one of those 5 digit text message numbers. You first text LVHRD the number on the suit and your name. After the confirmation text from LVHRD, you text them your bio. I texted whatever was in my head at the moment: "fuck a dollar and a dream". I wondered if they filtered the texts but April confirmed that they decided not to. All the bio updates are broadcasted via two giant projector screens. You can get other people's bios by texting the number on their suit to LVHRD.
Of course, it was sponsored by Dewar's, Sapporo and 42Below vodka. I had a bunch of Dewar's and ginger (awesome ginger beer - not too sweet, nice kick).
Yacht came on and did a couple of sets. They had awesome beats. Excellent performers overall - they knew how to have fun while getting paid. We even caught up with them afterwards at the bar. Too bad they only had 1 day in New York (flying right back to Oregon).

"On Monday, January 26, we’re taking the next step to protect you against the threat of Severe Micro-Cellulotamination (aka SMC) at (CLL) PHN-LCKN ‘09.

In 2006, we took away your cell phones to protect you from a modern pandemic that rots the brain, provided an open bar to help you forget your SMC woes and put leotard-clad Les Savvy Fav frontman Tim Harrington on stage to wreak havoc at MoMA.

Some time has passed since the first (CLL) PHN - LCKN and cell phones are more dangerous than we initially…"
