Last week we met the Chillmaster and when I talked with him the following Monday I asked him if he’d be interested in having a Chill Dance Party. His response was: “Why the fuck not?”
Why the fuck not, indeed! And so a Chill Dance Party was planned. Below, the results of the aforementioned Chill Dance Party.
We decided to meet at the Mars Bar for a drink before heading over to the Chillmaster's. Do you feel alright? I know I do!
Aaaahhhhh!
Goggla's painting for the art show at Mars Bar today.
Here's Ed with his collage of dogs and models.
Why (the fuck) not?
Our chill group...hey, where's Goggla and Ed?
And here he is! The Chillmaster himself, chilling the fuck out!
Once inside, the Hennessy is poured...
And the chilling begins!
And that's how you do a Chillmaster Dance Party people! Thanks to everyone for coming and thanks to the Chillmaster for making it happen! And a shoutout to the soulful EV Grieve, where it all started! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark.
A Chillmaster Dance Party
Ingredients: Fun people, Hennessy, Vodka, chips, beer, sweet soul music.
Shake
You move your body all around,
And just shake.
Thats the way you do it Shake, Shake, Shake it baby.
Shake it like a bowl of soup,
Let your body loop de loop,
Put your hands on your hip,
Come on and let your backbone slip,
Move your body like your hip,
And just shake!
Shake early in the morning,
Shake early in the evening.
A Ring-A-Ling-a-Ling,
Honey, Shakin' is the greatest thing,
But if you really roll gotta do the thing with SOUL!
That’s how you do a Chillmaster Dance Party people.
You just shake.
Why the fuck not?
Further reading: EV Grieve.
Shake!
That’s the way you do it!

One week too early for the Chillmaster Dance Party! Sigh. Looks like a rockin' good time - your middle finger is so photogenic, Marty!
Cool Party , & this is up early .
TO : Chillmaster !!!!
TO : Marty
Cheers
Good thing you didn't have to take the M train there !
Classic.
Thanks for such a great night! Why am I so tired this morning??? ;)
The best part was definitely all the people who came by the window - I could sit at that sill all day. Cheers to the Chillmaster!
@Britta: You should come back for the next party!
@Jason: To CHILLMASTER!
@GENE: Yes, the M train would've fucked it all up!
@Biff: Classic sums it up perfectly! What a great day!
@Goggla: Thanks for showing up and being part of the Chill crew! An epic fucking day. And now I'm at work...why did it have to end? See you at the next Chillmaster Dance Party!
SHAKE...RATTLE AND ROLL...LOOKS LIKE FUN!!
Thank you! That was the most fun I've had in a really long time! The Chillmaster was such an gracious host, such an amazing guy!!
@Melanie: You should come to the next Chillmaster Dance Party! It was a ton of fun!
@Lindsay: Thanks for joining us and being part of the fun! A great day indeed! Glad you could make it!
Chillmaster has the window to the world,,,what a view. People walking by and enjoying the music I guess,,,I think that must of been a great time. Were any of those passerby's allowed in?
The best time! Really great to meet everyone at the party itself & all the people stopping at the window. That window is a magical place! Thanks Marty & Chillmaster for getting this crazy party scene going! Now I just have to get through the rest of the workday ...
@Al: Yeah, a couple people stopped in. What a great day!
@onemorefoldedsunset: Thanks to you for helping make the whole thing happen! And yeah, it's a long workday!
Is it just me, or is Gumby seriously casing out that wallet?
A Post Rapture Chill Party!
Why the fuck not?
Well, doomsday came and went and I didn't get raptured, the tornados missed my immediate area so I didn't get ruptured (North Minneapolis wasn't so lucky, parts of it were leveled yesterday) and here I am with a fresh squeezed screwdriver WITH a glass swizzle stick, laying chilly and just glad I'm still alive!
@csp: How dare you accuse Gumby of thievery! Especially since he has no arms.
@"Boris:" Why the fuck not? is my new motto for life!
@Jaws: Chill on with your bad self!
@ Marty--let me know when the next Chill Bash is..leave a heads up on my blog--then I will see it in time. Of course I would show up. Didn't find out about it til 7:30PM reading your blog.
My god I really was there , it did happen , I drank it all and it wasn't a dream !
I have a head cold and therefore I am fuzzy and therefore I forgot to mention two things: 1) that second-to-last shot of your peeps on the sofa should be in the dictionary under "blitzed;" and 2) I can't tell you how much I love the fact that the dude surfing the internets at the Mars Bar is still wearing his motorcycle helmet.
I am so pissed I missed this! Looks like a good time had by all!
@Melanie: I'll send you an email about the next one, sorry I forgot to include you on the list, but there will be a second one!
@Bob Arihood: It kind of seems like a dream today! Thanks for coming along, a chill time was had by all!
@Biff: Two excellent points! And today if you saw me I would be filed under "Hung the fuck over!"
@Shawn Chittle: You have to come to the next one!
Oh snap! I am so jealous! I wish I could have been at the Chillmasters Chill Party!
was that a distant cousin (which are in limited supply) of cardboard box man at the mars bar?...man those pics express that a good time was had by all...it's almost like i can hear that blastin' soul music right now...oh wait i can that's sam and dave on my shitty computer speakers...wish i was there...
What we provide is an atmosphere... of orchestrated pulse which works on people in a subliminal way. Under its influence I've seen shy debs and severe dowagers kick off their shoes and raise some wholesome hell.

@Meleah: It was a great night, but I'm paying for it today!
@rr: I don't know if it's Cardboard Man's cousin, all I know is I'm terrified of him! Once again, perfect quote!
I needed that suprise link.. thank you marty
@Gidgie: Glad I could help you out! I'm guessing you had a bad day and hope that it's getting better!
Glad you all had a fun night, looks like a happening place to be or to just be walkin by.
Note from Marty:
I'm deleting this asshole's words, but I'm leaving his post up so your nice comments back to him make sense. For those of you just seeing this, basically he was moaning that I'm not a REAL New Yorker. Yeah, I've only lived here for 18 years! What a dipshit!
@A Real NYer: Do you have to pay extra municipal income taxes or anything?
@A Real Doucebag New Yorker .... go fuck yourself ... Marty is one of the best people you could meet anywhere ... and he probably has more class than you could ever hope to.
I hope your real New York Clown Ass gets run over by a fucking cab today - then you bounce into the path of a bus and get hit by that also. I know assholes - and you are up there!
Another note from Marty.
And in this one he tries to act like he's another hater by using a different name, but the dumbfuck didn't take into account that I can get his IP address and see that he is the same lone nut. What a loser!
@AN-FoP .... I'm not drunk today.
@Troll: Just mild bemusement. Considering 60% of NYC is from somewhere else (and 85% of NYC's work force lives somewhere else*) I was just curious as to what your "Real New Yorker" initiation rite was and why you thought it was pertinent on a blog that isn't called "Marty in New York".
Pro-Tip: The only person that could be considered a "real New Yorker" would be someone born there. They tend to call themselves native New Yorkers, which you didn't.
P.S. I was born in the Bronx, and on this day, not a single fuck was given. Ta-Ta.
*I made those #'s up, blow me.
Seems like "real" new yorkers are assholes. I guess better to not be one. And why would someone take the time to read and comment on a site they don't like? That's what the little x at the top of the page is for.
@A Real New Yorker and Another Non-Fan of Peoria; just because your respective shrinks switched your meds on you doesn't mean you're justified in your crass, sociopathic rant against Marty...jump back in your straight jackets, the both of you.
Hey--the yellow hoodie made an appearance..my surrogate. I don't drink and I don't smoke..but I know how to partee.
Here's the funny thing, the person who calls himself or herself a "A Real New Yorker" has the same I.P. address as the other person who calls himself or herself, "Another Non-Fan of Peoria." Meaning that it's the same person posting under different names. It's not much of a little bitch fight when it's one little bitch trying to start a flame war. Kind of pathetic. Let's just ignore this person and move on. Oh and for all you hackers that want to crack into this person's computer, the I.P. address is: 208.67.34.118. Thanks for the nice words everybody! I appreciate you standing up to an asshole like this who doesn't have the guts to sign his or her real name to what they write. I have to get into work now! The new post will be up in a bit. Thanks again to everybody, you're the best!
Being from middle America myself, I would like to say that every "real" New Yorker I've ever met has been super friendly. We've talked about things like sports and politics and cows for hours on end. And when I'm lost (which is often, especially south of 14th), I've never looked around in circles for more than a minute or so before a "real" New Yorker stops to help me. I've never encountered a "real" New Yorker who even looks at me sideways (unless he's lying down), let alone gives me shit for not being born there. Maybe it's because every "real" New Yorker I've met has loved the City for BEING the City - a place that welcomes everyone, from anywhere, and gives them hope for a new and better life than the one they knew. It's the home of Ellis Island, for chrissakes. The Statue of Liberty. Beat poets. The Mars Bar. Long story short (too late!), I can't imagine that anyone who actually IS a "real" New Yorker would give a crap where you're from, or what you do, or who you party with, as long as you're enjoying the City for exactly what it is. And, for the record, I plan on naming my next goldfish Jerkemiah Moss.
@Biff - you've got to come to the next party. :)
@Biff: You are a true New Yorker! As I stated above, the person who left the angry comments IP address is 208.67.34.118. If anyone knows how to track an IP address and can find out who this person is, let me know! What a fun blog it would be to go confront this person. I have a feeling that they wouldn't talk so tough in person!
@Goggla: Next time Biff is in town we'll all hang out! Hopefully at the Chillmaster's! Okay, today's post will be up when I get my break here at work, but be forewarned, it's not too exciting. I was really hungover yesterday, I guess because I'm not a REAL New Yorker! Sob!
@MAD check your mail.
Also, if you're from Brooklyn but would rather call yourself a New Yorker instead of a Brooklynite, you really need to go to Staten Island and walk into the ocean.
Oh that tired "real New Yorker" crap. I don't know anyone born here who talks like that, & what is life here, some sort of stupid competition or litmus test to determine authenticity.? I came here from another country, but I've lived here longer than any where else. It's my home, just like it is for people who got here recently, from all over the world. If you get into trying to define what a "real New Yorker" is, you just end up talking bullshit, but it has to be in the heart, & our weasly little whiner(s) ain't got one. Marty, your friends support you!!!
208.67.34.118 ... this IP appears to be from a corporate computer in Astoria, Queens .... unfortunately, I know nothing about hacking !
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/208.67.34.118#Comments
@csp: I'll check it soon, it would be so great to find out who this person is!
@onemorefoldedsunset: Thanks! People who try to divide this city up as to who's a real New Yorker or not are usually losers who have contributed nothing to the fabric of this city.
@GENE: Thanks for investigating, it appears csp has a lead too.
@Everybody: thanks so much for your support against a cowardly commenter!
missin' all the chillin' -- was too busy buying cupcakes and lining up for brunch at prune...
so who's who in the cast of the chillmaster dance party? you guys be illin'
@esquared: You can meet the cast at the next party! I'll email you!
That is some great photojournalism!
@Anomm: Thank you! It was a great day!
@Real New Yorker and Another Non-Fan of Peoria - You are obviously the same immature waste of pimply skin who posts those simultaneously poisonous and boring rants on EV Grieve; seems you didn't like Marty (and me, but I don't have a blog so you can't post anonymous slams against me except at EVG) not agreeing with your tight-ass clean freak repetitive babble about Ray's. I sincerely doubt you are a real New Yorker; you probably hail from a place that makes Peoria look like Paris circa 1925 - I'm thinking someplace like Big Hole Basin, Montana, population 667, probably named after the huge gap in your brain. Marty deleted your posts so we would not have to sully our eyeballs with your bratty petulance, but kindly let me, a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker, say to you, a phony wanna-be, the following - you don't have to be born here to be a real New Yorker. It's in your attitude, your sense of history, your way of interacting with the people you meet and with the city itself. Marty more than fits the bill, and I consider him a kindred spirit; you, on the other hand, do nothing but foul your surroundings and pollute whatever you come into contact with, even if it's only a blog. So why don't you shut up, you miserable pissant, and confine your stupidity to Astoria, where you so bravely spew from that corporate computer? Cretin.
MVP to Lisa !!!
That was beautiful, very beautiful !!!!!!!
