Manhattan

The PIT goes GREEN!

We will sell out this show–how could we not? The more tickets sold, the more sustainability upgrades the theater will undergo.

Buy tickets here–they’re only $8 – $10–for one of the PIT’s four shows on Saturday, January 30th!

The line-up:

7:00p Drop Six

8:00p Closet Cases

9:30p Harvard Sailing Team

11:00p Bad Luck Rising

Based on the success of our kick-off party, it will be fun, entertaining evening–and a fantastic networking opportunity for all you enviro-professionals, compassionate aspiring comics, students, and the rest of you who give a darn!

Carrotmob Manhattan had its kickoff party this past Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who came out!

We’d also like to express our gratitude to Gallery 151, who hosted this lovely eco-mixer, and everyone who provided a piece of what made the night amazing: six vendors and artists sold beautiful and interesting eco-friendly crafts, GustOrganics provided some tasty bites, DJ Ahmed Hashim played some amazing sounds, photographer Lindsay Comstock took some great shots, and tons of other people and business borrowed or gave us items or lent a hand. That’s what made the event work.

Turnout was great, too–we were (carrot)mobbed!

See you on January 30th!

Angel Ortiz, the graffiti artist known as LA.2, has been on the scene since the early 80s–when graffiti was still considered a plague on subway walls, but starting to emerge as an sought-after art form. He’s influenced many of the best known graffiti artists like Keith Haring–you know, the guy who did the Crack is Wack sign on the FDR [correction: it's on Harlem River Drive!]–and exhibits of the duo’s work are currently traveling around the world.

LA.2 (stands for Little Angel) is also the artist who will give a live graffiti art demo on Wednesday. You’ll recognize his intricate, mesmerizing designs in the brightest of colors. A Lower East Side legend, we’ll be just a few blocks from many of the walls he tagged decades ago.

Our much anticipated Carrotmob kick-off party/Gallery 151 eco-mixer is this Wednesday evening, January 13th. Ambient beats will be provided by friend of Carrotmob Manhattan Ahmed Hashim. He’s been all over New York lately, performing at fashion and media events, and hot lounges like Happy Ending, Ella, and the environmentally-friendly Greenhouse.

Just another reason not to miss it!

(both geek out for a minute)

I think you could say Manhattan’s first Carrotmobbers are in it for the right reasons!

Proceeds from four shows on January 30 will go towards making The Peoples Improv Theater more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Get your tickets here!
