Time to get TRASHed

This Saturday, May 14, The Cobalt (917 Main St) is hosting Pow: Trash Edition. Drawing inspiration from the iconic New York City discotheque Paradise Garage (uhm, hell yes!) and legendary DJs such as Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan (I’m gaaaagging), Trash is shaping up to be a cultured and sexy night on the town, blowing the downtown competition out of the wata like only them Eastside bitches can. Expect dancing, vintage porn projections, your fave Eastside bartenders and a special midnight performance. I can’t wait for this shitz!
