DARLING NICKY FOLLOWERS TO RECEIVE $5 DISCOUNT FOR 2013 NYE SPEAKEASY

SENYE_Rev1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
12/31/12
THE SPEAKEASY NYE RETURNS

TORONTO, December 27, 2012 – In just a few days, DJ Kariz, DJ Thera-P and DJ Riccachet have teamed up with KITCH BAR to create a New Year’s Eve to remember.

Just over a year ago, DJ Kariz created THE SPEAKEASY, a party that remembered when there were no bottles, no booths, and no bs. Just a night where everyone danced, everyone had a great time, and by the end of it, everyone was family.

Last year, when he was asked to do a New Year’s Eve party, he said no. But then he realized that he could throw a SPEAKEASY. He partnered up with DJs Thera-P and Riccachet, the two bad brothers of Sweet Touch Foundation, and the SPEKEASY NYE was on. By the end of the night, the three agreed to throw an even bigger one.

Now that night has come.

Monday December 31, 2012, THE SPEAKEASY NYE returns.

As a thank you to readers and supporters of Darling Nicky, who has been of such great support to the Karizma team this year, we’re offering a special discount on tickets.

Now, at most parties, the parking costs $20.

At the SPEAKEASY, $20 is the regular price of admission. But, just enter the code “darlingnicky” when purchasing your tickets and Darling Nicky fans pay only $15.

Nope, that’s not missing a decimal or a zero. Fifteen dollars.

However, there are only 30 available.

Bring the friends.
Bring the fam.
Come on your own…by the end of the night you’ll be family to us.
Come for the music.
Stay for the rest of the year.

WHEN: New Year’s Eve
WHERE: Kitch, 229 Geary Avenue
TIME: 10 until sometime in 2013
MUSIC: Hip Hop, House, RnB, Reggae, Soca, Old School, New Jack Swing… basically, anything but fistpump.
DRESS CODE: dress to dance.
