BAM TAKEOVER 2008 Details

I attended BAM TAKEOVER last year and it was a really fun night of art, film, DJ's, dancing, arcade games, burlesque and bands including Be Your Own Pet and Dirty on Purpose. The second annual late night of fun at The Brooklyn Art Museum returns this year on September 27th, 9pm—4am. $20 in advance, $25 (cash only) at the door

Four bands, selected by Sufjan Stevens, keep the Opera House full, while four movie marathons screen in the cinemas. DJs spin all night long, setting the beat for a nonstop dance party in BAMcafé, while video art, cheap beer, and endless diversions take you from dusk 'til dawn.

The Bands: Brooklyn Youth Chorus sings Nico Muhly and other works, St. Vincent, Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens, The Budos Band

Film Marathon Features: Bring Back the Draught!, Up All Night in 1985, The Reel World: Brooklyn, Lars von Trier's The Kingdom: Part I

Recreation: Wii, Ping-pong, Arcade games, Lounge Video Art: Deborah Johnson, CandyStations
