February 14

Live dinner theater like never before. At the House of Yes.

The stars have aligned in this young decade to bring us a day of simultaneous love, truth and sincerity. February 14th is both Valentines day and the first day of the Chinese new year, the year of the tiger. A night of martyrs and miracles paired with virtue and prosperity that both share roots in the the color RED. The strongest hue in every culture, it runs through our hearts and insights our passions.

This night promises to do the same, Delight in a sumptuous meal while firey demons and airborne dieties act out myths and traditions above and all around you. Prepare to be waited on by giants, to be showered with symbols of luck and passion and swooned by sirens. Oracles and soothsayers will be on site to melt away any ill-fortune and unveil your past, present or future. A decadent feast for your eyes and stomach will unravel at your table, satisfying your appetite through every single sense. Fare and festival will be fused seamlessly with the power and stealth prowess of a tiger, as visceral and universal as the blood red in all of us and ending with a bang to usher in happiness, wealth and longevity.

Expect Food, music, video art, dancers, stilters, acrobatics, fire and fantasy. Share with us a one night experience like no other.

Premiered in Fall 2009, Creating Blue Man Group is a one-hour PBS special focusing on the philosophy and creative output of New York City’s theatrical production Blue Man Group. Syndicated throughout the US, it continues to be broadcast through 2010. The special was also released as a DVD including bonus features.

Firefly Lab’s Zarah Cabañas headed up the project as Post-Production Supervisor and Senior Video Editor.

Wishing everyone love love love and peace for this year and the next.  There are beautiful days and nights ahead…

After a very busy summer, we decided to enjoy the changing of the seasons with close knit homestyle jams, lots of cooking and friends.  A few lovely evenings playing with DJ ActivePhaze, a jam with Itamar Zorman for Tigers and Poets documentary.  And the celebration of Peter Principle’s bday at 23 Windows which took us to the early morning.  And after the home jams, we couldn’t resist, playing with our favorite Lose Your Shit party with the lovely DJ Small Change, Jen Lyon and our Mean Red friends.

The winter continues, and it is off to tropical weather, inspirations from the other side of the planet.

Our gratitude goes out to all who have come into our lives and shared in these days.  Looking forward to a lovely, mischievous, and soulful 2010.

Lose Your Shit VJs VisualHornHonkinG and Lady Firefly invite you to a nite of grooveful, soulful moods, good people. With DJ $mall change, Eli Escobar, Dave Q + Incyde (Dub War NYC). Plus, performances by Lady Circus and Sandhi Ferreira.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER!!!

In a welcome turn of events, we were visited by Detail Film - a production company from Germany creating “Tigers and Poets,” a documentary on three exceptional violinists. They came by to visit us to film an audiovisual dialogue and collaboration with one of their musical subjects Itamar Zorman. What resulted was a very wonderful dialogue with Lady Firefly, as well as a very meaningful artistic exchange at Union Pool in Brooklyn between Itamar and our VJs. (Nov 2009)

We have just returned from Russia, which seems to be a natural close to this summer’s adventures. We took our visuals to the deep country fields and forests of Raminhutte, a gorgeous secret place at the border of Lithuania. With healthy doses of Pentacrene and the hospitality of our good friend Victor, it was a MadFlat Reunion where we played all night in a rustic nightclub in the middle of nowhere and under the stars.

After an amazing time in the forests and more exploring, we unloaded our gear into Platinum, one of Kaliningrad’s popular nightclubs for the White Party. With everyone glowing violet under the black lights, this was a fun time.

VJs Lady Firefly and VisualHornHonkinG team up with Mean Red Productions and DJ $mall change to bring a refreshing set of sounds and visuals to Brooklyn and beyond.  From the Masonic Temple, to 12-Turns-13, to the secret warehouse tucked in the belly of NYC, Lose Your Shit keeps on keeps on.
