Thirty Days of (Free) Vodka

There’s a joke in here somewhere about Dorothy Parker’s quip, “You can lead horticulture, but you can’t make her think (or maybe just a joke about “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink”).

Via the fine, frugal fellows at My Open Bar.com, there’s ThirtyDaysNY, a celebration of arts and culture and, well, booze.  Sponsored by Absolut vodka, the Tribeca fest will feature “weekly performances, symposiums, and showcases from contemporary artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers from all over the world.”  A quick poke around the web site turns up pictures of SNL funnyman Fred Armisen, a short film by “Where the Wild Things Are” director Spike Jonze, and artist Meryl Smith who will be creating whimsical sculptures from genuine New York City trash.

Of course, in addition to all the music, film, and art, there’s a well concealed marketing campaign for Absolut vodka, preferred drink of the culture curators.  Let’s hope their vodka will flow freely throughout the month.

The Tribeca loft will be open from noon to 9 p.m. (and until 10 p.m. on event nights) at 70 Franklin Street.  Check out the calendar for upcoming events.
