For our NY friends: Finals is organizing the lowest-stakes evening in the history of evenings, a chance to kick it in a cool space (Cafe Erzulie) and vibe to the selections of the best rap critic in America, Alphonse Pierre. Come chill! Bother Al about why he didn't review your album! Be "that guy" and try and make requests even though you know you shouldn't be doing that shit. Celebrate the start of a new year, and get in the spirit of doing things just because they sound fun. That's what's behind this, and absolutely nothing else.

UPDATE: The shit rang off. We added Mano Sundaresan as a DJ. Pics below. Next event otw, stay tuned!
