Too Shy To Stop/Oh Nine
So we were asked to play a the New Years Eve Party at Stain Bar in Brooklyn for Too Shy to Stop.
It’s free if you RSVP here before December 15th. Otherwise, it’s $10, so hurry!
Too Shy to Stop were also kind enough to write a piece for us here.
Too Shy to Stop is an online arts and culture magazine made by young people who live, work, study, or play in the United States. Our writers and readers are curious, active, ambitious, and interested. They value education, American “culture,” the arts, and information.
We are an alternative media outlet that prioritizes global awareness and encourages creativity. Our content includes articles about the arts, literature, entertainment, food, social and political issues, travel, and interesting individuals. We also feature book, movie, music, and restaurant reviews. Every Sunday, the readers take over; “I Scream Sunday” is a creative space for reader-submitted art and writing.
On December 31st, from 9 PM-4 AM, Too Shy to Stop will host a New Year’s Eve party at Stain bar in Brooklyn, NY. This party will also celebrate the launch of our brand new website, which was redesigned by the talented guys at Always Creative. We invite all our readers, fans, supporters, and friends to attend this private party, which you can learn about at this site.
