Sponsor Shout-Out: Chronogram – the Pulse of the Party!

The November horoscopes in the Chronogram aren’t out yet, but we know what WE’RE predicting: an epic event on November 22nd and 23rd, and a growing friendship between Hullabaloo and returning sponsor Chronogram, based on mutual interests in local art and culture!

Not only are Chronogram’s horoscopes spookily-accurate, Chronogram’s other content is pretty fantastic too. The website and printed magazine are both chock-full of great photos, and their articles on local businesses, people, places, events, issues, and general goings-on keep us informed and in-the-know. They’ve done numerous stories on local artists, craftspeople, and designers and the local makers movement (like this one, which includes Danielle and Hullabaloo: Handmade-on-Hudson) and they’ve had their fingers on the pulse of the local arts scene since only the locals knew how cool it is here.

Have you signed up for their 8-Day Week newsletter yet? Because you should. It’ll keep you in the loop so you don’t miss out on what all the cool kids are doing. And be sure to check the website (www.chronogram.com) regularly for new content and calendar listings. They organize some awesome events of their own too!

Still love a good old-fashioned printed publication? (We do!) Pick up a copy of Chronogram at your favorite local establishment. The covers are gorgeous and you’ll quickly become a collector.

We’re stoked that Chronogram is returning to Hullabaloo this year as a sponsor, and so glad they’ll have a presence at our event. Thanks, Chronogram, for being part of the party!

Sponsor Shout-Out: 1 Mile Gallery Putting the (fine) Arty in our Party!

We’re pleased as punch that 1 Mile Gallery is bringing the arty in our party to a whole new level!  

1 Mile represents both emerging and established fine artists working in a variety of mediums and disciplines, including illustration, wood and stone, photography, and more. They regularly feature work from local artists as well as the work of artists from around the world. This small-city gallery is big on talent that manages to be both accessible and thought-provoking, down-to-earth yet visionary, and simultaneously worldly and inherently “Kingstonian.”

After you’ve shopped Hullabaloo for unique giftable items from local designers, craftspeople, and makers, head down to 1 Mile at 475 Abeel Street on the Rondout in Kingston to wander the 18th century building and admire their current exhibits.  They also have a great online shop, where you can purchase artwork from selected artists. Learn more about their upcoming shows and shop online at www.onemilegallery.com.

We’re psyched about having 1 Mile on board as a sponsor, and excited about the opportunity to work together to connect the dots between the local fine arts scene and the Hudson Valley’s handmade movement. Thanks putting the (fine) arty in our party, 1 Mile!

Bust a Move: DJ Mr. Chips Returns to Hullabaloo!

HECK YES!!! This is a family-friendly event, so we’ve toned down the language, but we are SO flippin’ excited…

…DJ Mr. Chips has agreed to spin for us at the Second Annual Hudson Valley Hullabaloo! 

DJ Mr. Chips, aka Andrew Nelson, is one of our personal favorite DJ’s, who plays at a bunch of local bars and events. Everyone had so much fun last year (and since he agreed pretty quickly to come back, we’re guessing so did he!) that we were keeping our fingers crossed that he was available—so we were thrilled when he agreed to keep the party going for us on both days at this year’s event!

Once again, he’ll be spinning old-school hip-hop, holiday soul, and indie rock, and the Hullabaloo winter bear will be shaking his groove thang.

Like us with our language, DJ Mr. Chips is toning down his musical selections to keep the Hullabaloo soundtrack family-friendly and, of course, mix in a lot of holiday soul music to put shoppers in the holiday spirit—but keeping it fresher and funkier than any mall soundtrack! 

This is going to be so stinkin’ rad. See you there!
