TGRIOnline.com presents TRUE THURSDAY @ WONDERLAND BALLROOM

7 May

Hello!

The “Hustlers of Culture” of True Genius Requires Insanity are proud to announce that starting with June 10, 2010’s FRIENDS party, we have entered into an agreement to provide quality dance entertainment at the Wonderland Ballroom on the second Thursday night of every month. As of press time, this deal is indefinite. On June 10th, our own DJ Cold Case teams with fantastic local rave, pop and hip hop DJ, DJ TMY to present the ultimate teen pop explosion now known as FRIENDS, which will celebrate fifty dynamic and crowd friendly years of teen pop music. This will be a quarterly occurrence, with the next FRIENDS not scheduled until October, which yes, will absolutely have a Halloween theme based around dressing like your favorite teen pop icon.

The months not occupied by FRIENDS have something just as exciting in store. If a follower of the site, you are aware of our desire to preserve and protect the legacy of easily the most bass heavy and party rocking sound in dance music history, Baltimore club music. We have paired those sounds with hip hop and top 40 to present WORLD CHAMPS, a party with a resident DJ now known merely as the “World Champion of Club Music,” our own STAMPED DJ, James Nasty, with special guest DJ Cam Jus. Not since the days of Dave Nada and Jesse Tittsworth throwing the CRUNK parties has there been such a stable home for Baltimore club music within the DC Metropolitan area. On July 8th, be prepared for fireworks when Nasty and Cam get behind the decks!

True Genius Requires Insanity is now fully committed to the development and curation of top quality and high level social events. As with everything about the site, be aware that we demand excellence, and that content as well as style are equal goals in concert with each other. The Guerilla Gorilla Movement is upon DC! More to come!

Sincerely,

Marcus K. Dowling
Co-Editor in Chief, True Genius Requires Insanity

TGRIOnline.com x Edukatorz.com presents FRIENDS: A Celebration of 50 Years of Teen Pop Music – 6/10/10

7 May

Set this scene by remembering the awkward pangs of teenage youth, and remember those days as being literally broken down into two separate categories: cool and uncool. Remember the yearning desire to be accepted? Remember those moments when you wanted to like the right girl or guy, the right clothes, the right stuff, the right song? We all had those moments, and as with most things, they can be best recalled through music. Music has that unique way of transporting the listener back to an exact moment, an exact place, an exact time. On June 10th, our own DJ Cold Case, as well as DJ TMY of Maison party fame will be at the Wonderland Ballroom from 10 til close transporting us back into those awkward and instantaneously memorable teen moments. Not just us, but anyone between the ages of 21-71 will be able to reminisce about what it was to be a teenager in doubt.

Yes, everything will be in play from Elvis Presley to Miley Cyrus and all stops in between, including, but not limited to David Cassidy, The Jackson Five, New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, N Sync, and so many more you’re likely wanting to name. They’re our favorite groups because they saw us through the dark days, and made us feel okay, comforted and accepted. On June 10th, we celebrate that moment where being awkward fades away, and you “Wake Up In Love This Morning,” say “Bye Bye Bye” to the “Poison” of depression, do some “Hangin’ Tough” and tell doubt to “Hit Me Baby One More Time.”

And why call this party FRIENDS? Well, we thought you’d never ask. Our favorite teen drama from Channel 4 in the UK, The Inbetweeners, will make this readily apparent in the funniest clip you’ll see all day, the quintessential definition of teen angst.
