The Quiet Party

Mndy Jun.4.2007 6:27pm | by lvhrd

A muffled version of LV HRD descends upon NYC…

The Quiet Party is a completely silent dating experience, where potential lovers must rely on furtive eye contact and passing notes to make each other swoon. Itâ€™s potentially very sexy, more so than shouting spittle on someone at a packed bar.

The next Quiet Party is going down Wednesday, June 13th at Madame X on Houston, from 6:30 to 9:30pm. Admission is $10.

Bring your single or not-so-single friends. The whole point of this is to be a bit mischievous. It reminds us of…

VMC II Competitors Update

Tsdy Mar.13.2007 1:10pm | by lvhrd

Last week we annouced the MOMA and the Onion as the first bold contenders to rise up to the VMC II and by this point you are probably asking yourself, “Who are their opponents?”

The Onion challenged the NY Post in hopes to pin two journalistic publications against one another, but as NY Post lagged in getting a team together, their fears heightened and hence pulled out of the challenge today. If you are worried, don’t be. AM New York has stepped up to the plate and posed a challenge to the Onion. They…

You, Sir or Madam, are a Douche

Thrsdy Jan.11.2007 11:46am | by lvhrd

Is there somebody on your list you’d like to call a douche but don’t have the tongue or brass to say it?

Thanks to LVHRD supporter and close friend Orange32, who helped us with ACTHRD, MCFGHT, and FSHN DL3, you don’t have to. Well, at least not with your mouth.

Coming to you at only $5 dollars for a pack of 25, their new, “you are a douche,” business card does all the work for you.

Aptly describing how you may feel about someone you hate, or maybe even someone…

LVHRD: Okay, so this is the DRTS series of LVHRD, something new that we’re starting to find out more about LVHRD and its members. It’s complimentary to LVHRD MGZN’s NTRVW series, and is presented in AIM format to offer more of a conversational approach similar to the fast moving, fast talking internet age. Today, we’re talking to Jeff Newelt, aka JahFurry. Jeff is interesting because he dips his toe into so many different things. On one hand, he’s a PR man at MWW Group for Samsung (the day gig), SMITH Magazine, ACT-I-VATE online…

Seth Herzog’s Annual New Year’s Bash

Wdnsdy Dec.27.2006 5:42pm | by lvhrd

Taking place at Fontana’s in the Lower East Side (no longer at Tai - Tai closed its doors - forget about Tai) is Seth Herzog’s annual New Year’s Eve Party. Starting at 9:30 and going way into the 2 double 0 7, dress attire is optional, so you can wear anything from your Sunday best to your 90’s grunge era flannel shirt. Just not your birthday suit (unless, of course, it’s a dance routine involving a thin curtain, a back light, and a James Bond theme song…).

Ten dollars gets you into the…
