Oscar & Vashtie, Soho NYC 2004

In the Summer of 2006, best friends Vashtie and Oscar did what they always did…discussed fun and creative ideas while traipsing about New York. Only, one day was entirely different, which ultimately became the day that 1992 was born. After having a long conversation about the New York Party Scene and how it just wasn’t fun, Vashtie and Oscar decided to start their own thing…enter, 1992. They were over all the parties they were attending; from Fashion Week  Shindigs to Downtown Jumpoffs, all of them played music we didn’t want to hear and none of them ever felt welcoming, despite the fact that we knew so many of the hosts of these events.

Oscar & Vashtie, NYC 2009

1992 was born with the idea in mind, that we would have a place where everyone was welcome and we would play music from the era that we loved – the 90’s! Check the timeline of thangs that 1992 has done!

SUMMER 2007

1992 Illegal Block Party

Yes, you read that correctly. In order to put on a public event, you need a permit from the city and that needs to be requested months in advance. Thanks to our friend Neal Santos for giving us this idea. He lived on lived on Eldridge Street in the Lower East Side, and every Sunday the street was closed off for leather and fur vendors to pull their racks onto the street and make business. He had the idea to put his big speakers on the fire escape and we could put on a show…so…we did. We hired double dutch girls and asked friends to make and sell food. It was incredible!!!

We had a Photo Booth which was amazing. BUT, you should all know that photo booths these days are digital and while a print copy is chugged out – a digital copy is saved to a disk that clients get to keep. I saw some crazy things on that CD ROM of people I knew kissing some other people I knew. Hahaha. Tisk tisk.dscn1182 dscn1170Raul acting “FER-O-SHE-AH”
