fourth time doing it is happening again on February 1st at Parkside Lounge. I will be DJing

music by all of your faves, new and old, from Chapel, Sabrina, Tenoshe, Tate, Ari, Addison, and of course all your standbys from Beyonce to Britney,

etc. And as a special treat for this installment, we're bringing on hosts, Britney Spanos and

Larissa Paul are Rolling Stone faves. They're going to be there all night, having fun as well.
