We are excited to be in our new location, and are working on Phase II of development. We are OPEN for select events and rentals, but are still awaiting our full liquor license, while building out the kitchen for a brand new immersive dining experience and daily menu. Our bar has a full menu of NA options for your enjoyment. Donations are hugely appreciated as we build!
Big Loft Sale & community stoop sale
Sun Sep 15, 1-6pm, FREE
Gemini and Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible), Gowanus, BK
Event on Facebook
G&S Loft sale: it's been a whirlwind two years since we first got the key to our new home, and we need to pause and do some house cleaning.
We're digging in our back corners now, but here's some of what we know will be for sale:
- Clothes! Vintage, designer, costumes, etc -- Miss Scorpio sells statement wear year-round, and she just stocked up some amazing finds for festival season.
- Furniture! You know we love collecting unique pieces, and there's a constant rotation here that leaves us with extra chairs, tables, shelves, etc.
- Lights! From basic xmas lights to retired stage lights, there's always too many.
- Fabric & curtains! The secret to how we used to transform empty warehouses into cozy party spaces. We don't do that so much anymore, so up for sale it goes. Perfect for both space transformation and clothes-making, as we have brocades, silks, etc.
- Backdrops! HUGE ones, professionally printed for TV use (cough*SNL*cough)
- Stage platforms! Sturdy AF 3x8 that are great for raised seating, stage, shelving, etc, 12 in total. A few sample ones are here, but you'll need separate arrangements to pick up the rest from our storage.
- Props! What will we find stashed in the back? We have no idea. Found so far: snow, water guns, misc decor items.
Plus: a community stoop sale! Want to bring a curated selection of funky secondhand items of your own? No need to sign up! No fees, but donations to keep the loft going are hugely appreciated. The only two requirements: 1) BYO shelf, table or racks; 6' max of space pp. There will not be a wall to hang or lean anything on. There will be a seat, though. DO NOT just bring stuff without something to put it on. 2) Be there at 12pm at the latest -- earlier is better & gives you more choice of location.

Fusion Dance is a magnificent blend of styles forming a fluid improvisational partner dance. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a newbie looking to learn how to move your feet, this style is inclusive for all because of its diverse nature. Perfect for a solo evening, date night, or a friend outing.
We kick off each event with an introductory dance lesson focusing on basics of the dance style, followed by a consent talk. Afterwards, let loose on the open dance floor as our talented rotating cast of DJs send us through the night.
This event is specifically inclusive of all genders, orientations and ethnic backgrounds. Whoever you are, dress to express yourself and dance the night away. Solo folks welcome, as traditionally dance partners will rotate through the night.
