Crystal Energy Connections
Okay, I know BoogieDowner is all Bronx, all the time (with the only exception being making fun of Brooklyn), and this event is actually in Manhattan. But it's being run by a Bedford Park resident, and we figure during these rough economic times any event promoting "positive energy" is worthwhile... So if you're in need of "embracing your true essence," check out Crystal Energy Connections with Dana Marie from 1 to 4pm tomorrow at 44 E. 32nd Street, 11th Floor. More information here.
