Hello lovelies,
Here's the email our presumptuous little selves hope you've been waiting for. Below you will find all the details on our amazing Bootleggers' Ball NYE that we're willing to release. For now. Trust us, there are plenty of surprises up our fringed and sequined sleeves.
TimeOut got the scoop on the party last week, and this week's issue features a painted up Miss Scorpio giving "expert" advice on holiday happenings alongside other nightlife mavens: http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/holidays-in-nyc/81488/holiday-like-the-experts/7.html (pardon the quotes, but it's really hard to take ourselves quite so seriously!)
A reminder for the Russian Baths party this Saturday: use code "welcomeback" to get TWO regular price tickets for $90 -- that's $45 each, $10 less than our past live-band baths shindigs. The party has been listed as an Editor Pick in this week's TimeOut, and one of our fave newsletters, BrooklynBased, also gave it some listings love today. Hmm, we wonder what that'll do to the ticket sales ;) Details below; direct ticket link: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/91883
Cheers,
Gemini & Scorpio

Break out your bikini or swim trunks, and join our hand-picked crowd of artsy, funky (and nearly naked) New Yorkers for the glorious return of Gemini & Scorpio's legendary Russian Baths party.
We will have the newly remodeled & sparkling clean baths to ourselves, with a few hand-picked professionals on hand for the optional platzas and massages. Enjoy: Russian, Turkish and Swedish steam rooms, jacuzzi and cold plunge pool; poolside dance floor; rooftop smoking deck; hookah lounge, poker and chillout rooms; authentic and delicious Russian food in a private restaurant room.
Zlatne Uste, a 10-member Balkan brass band best known for throwing Golden Fest, NYC's biggest Balkan party (now in its 25th year) will get you sweating faster than the saunas, playing two sets, at 10pm and 12am. Our longtime favorite DJ Joro-Boro, former resident DJ of the infamous Mehanata (Bulgarian Bar), will keep the dance floor sizzling with his hot EthnoMesh Megalophonia mix while we dole out free pierogies for everyone. Tarot mistress Courtney Weber will read your fortunes. There will be an open vodka bar 10-11pm.
"Best (and Only) Russian-bathhouse Dance Party" - Village Voice "Best of 2006. "A night of steamy fun" -- TimeOutNY "Your Perfect Weekend" pick. "Epic" -- Brooklyn Based.
Only 100 tix on presale; 50 more at door. Three ticket levels: $85 (7pm entry + open vodka bar + multi-course Russian banquet) /$50 (9pm entry + open vodka bar) / $35 (11pm entry). More details on each ticket tier are on our website.
This is the kind of party you always imagine, but can never quite find in real life...and the only one where you'll come out cleaner than when you came in.
