After a delightful Christmas in Sleepy Hollow, Johnny is back full force and ready to ring out the old this weekend. He's spinning Friday night's SNOW BALL at Brooklyn's HOUSE OF YES, then spends New Years Day-Night (1/1) with the flock on his VANDAM @ GREENHOUSE dancefloor. Next up is an unusually festive first fortnight in January, capped off by THE IMPERIAL COURT HOLIDAY PARTY on MLK weekend. However you choose to spend the brand new year, when you're ready for some dance therapy by way of Dr. Dynell's Dancefloor, here are the details. Thank you for another bright and brilliant year and as always, Thank You For Dancing!
A MESSY TOAST TO 2011

SUNDAY JANUARY 15
IMPERIAL COURT OF NY HOLIDAY PARTY
It is BRILLIANT to have a Holiday Gala a full two weeks after New Years, but we expect no less from the legendary IMPERIAL COURT OF NY. Johnny provides the soundtrack for this dress-up affair helmed by EMPEROR XX VANITY SOCIETY and EMPRESS XXV PEPPERICA SWIRL (picture, right), celebrating their historic reign and a fantastic year of fundraising. If you don't know the royal pair, they have brought a dark sensibility and clubland charm to their reign, which comes to a close at this year's NIGHT OF A THOUSAND GOWNS on March 31 - which Johnny is also spinning this year! The $125 ticket brings you a full buffet, open bar, dancing, awards and elevations and the setting, a glamorous penthouse with spectacular views of the city. Dress is festive black tie with holiday touches and like all ICNY events, you'd better be DONE!
