A little known fact about pigs is that they love to party. Oh yes, give them streamers and noise makers and they're happier than if they were rooting in... Well, we don't need to go there. Anyway. We are going to skip the streamers and the noise makers (at least the obnoxious kind) and throw a party that even your dog would want to blog about. (yes, pigs are friends with dogs)

World-renowned spinner DJ Angola is going to get the party started. Tasty food and drink will keep you fueled and your feet (or hoofs) on the dance floor. And you will definitely won't want to miss the sweet sounds of Derek James as he takes the stage for a live performance.

If your dancing shoes get worn out, head over to the craft area and try your hand at making some sweet cards. The best of the bunch will be uploaded to the site for everyone to send and share with their friends.

Check back here often as more details for the party come together--like what tasty concoctions we'll be pouring, the food you'll be nibbling -- Eskimix (on Bleeker and Grove) and possibly even some awesome prizes we'll hopefully be raffling.

Derek James - http://www.myspace.com/derekjamesmusic
New York City songwriter Derek James is described as, "bluesy, ballsy Buddy Holly for the iPod generation" who's "sultry voice is enough to make anyone's mama blush." Since his first performance in 2003 at an open-mic in Australia, James has hopped continents with his music, playing with a self-assembled French jug band through the streets and clubs of Europe, and finally back home to New York to traverse his native States. Ragtime piano, upright bass, vintage electric guitar, ukulele, banjo, accordion and Ringo-esque drums can often be heard accompanying him at the Bowery Ballroom in New York, the House of Blues in New Orleans, opening for OK Go at George Washington University in DC, or any other of his many gigs across the country. Touring both as a solo troubadour with his guitar, kazoo and ukulele in tow, as well as with his band, the Lovely Fools, Derek James spends a good portion of his life rolling over gravel.
