We've all had the experience of paying WAY too much for NEW YEARS. You spend a bazillion dollars to get in to an event only to have to spend another bazillion on drinks, then IF you're lucky, you'll find your friends.

Your pals at Ninja Skillz, Pocket Underground, Blue Insomnia, and Project Alma think that you deserve a different sort of event. Cheaper to get in, and somewhere where you know all of your friends and family will be.

Featuring some of the best musical talent and some pretty stellar surprises, New Years Eve 2009 will see the return of NEXUS to LA.

* One of the most insane lineups to hit the LA Underground.
* Fully permitted downtown LA warehouse.
* 4 rooms.
* Outdoor Fire Area.
* Full bar.

So leave behind the $80-100 cover charges and get your butt over to NEXUS.

So it is Thanksgiving. A time for reflection upon the blessings in our lives. A fleeting moment of gratitude that we try to capture in our day to day. A time for family.... Blah Blah Blah... Yadda Yadda.

Get all that nonsense over with and come shake your gravy inflated behind to a tasty feast of sonic deliciousness. Because on Saturday, November 28th, HOLLABACK MERLE and NINJA SKILLZ are bouncing your butt RIGHT OFF the kids table and on to the dancefloor.

There's no kids table here.... We love you. It's part of our whole NINJA DOUBLE INJECTION weekend. Because.... Uncle Saynt has heard some disturbing rumors about a surge in the Pirate population since his departure....

AND.... We're takin it back to the MOUNTAIN BAR! Thats right.... We figured it was appropriately nostalgic for the theme.

We indeed have some musical madness in store for all of you lovelies....
