Art. Tunes. Awesome.

[QUICK IMPORTANT MESSAGE]

Max is curating this. Work by six awesome young artists. It opens Friday, in Brooklyn.

And Max asked me to DJ the party. A 4+ hour set in my inimitable style. It's all going into the mix. Rock, hip-hop, punk, funk, electro, dance, whatever I feel like.

There will be booze. There will be amazing art. The tunes will rock your brainspace. If you're anywhere near NYC, or even if you're not... You should come.

Distinctive? Absolutely. At some point, I think I recall him saying someth...

As in all things, success will bring imitation. Nowhere is this more apparent than here in New York, where you can walk down the street and be assailed by endless tables filled with "designer" handbags and genuine "Hilfigger" sunglasses for sale. It's an inevitability that any product that does well will be aped by those who're looking for a quick buck. Ofttimes, the knock-offs can't be spotted without careful inspection. The average passerby wouldn't know the difference. So, do not be fooled. This is the real thing: This is not: Yes, it's true. There is a Dumplinganger. An upstart that not only moves into the same business that Lucas (the Dumpling Man) has so carefully cultivated, but rips off the distinctive logo. It's an incredibly brazen attempt to cash in on the goodwill and business that Dumpling Man has earned over the last six months. And whomever's behind it is so blatant as to position themselves only three blocks awa...
