Photographers NEEDED!

Folks,

Zavier and I are in dire need of volunteer photographers. We do not have any photos for February's DPHH because we don't have enough volunteers.

So what do we look for in our photographers????
The ability to take a wide variety of photos of our attendees from all walks of life, ages, backgrounds etc etc.

This means being willing to go up to perfect strangers and asking to take their photos for the website. It isn't hard, all you have to do is go up and say, "Hi, I am a photographer for NYC DPHH and with your permission I would like to take some photos." and that's all. If the people who's photos are being taken ask if their photos will deAfinitely be used, you will have to explain it depends on the quality and quanity of photos received and that it is up to the administrators of this website to decide. We generally try to use photos that show diversity and new faces of our NYC DPHH crowds.


If you are interested in volunteering for NYC DPHH please email us at nycdphh@gmail.com, include your name, availability (how often do you attend DPHH) and a few sample photos. We are seeking dedicated volunteers!

Thank you for your time in regards to this matter,
-Zavier & Jennifer

Spring Break NYC DPHH

Howdy Folks,

Next DPHH will be on Friday March 12, 2010 at Stout Bar! We decided on March 12, 2010 so that students who are on spring break from Gallaudet University can join us!

Profile from NYMag

Dubliners and brothers Martin and Mark Whelan spent years perfecting their brand of Emerald Isle magic with pubs like St. Andrews and Maggie's Place before opening this Superdome of taverns in 2005. But the 16,000-square-foot, tri-level megaspace — with its 36 large-screen TVs blasting rugby, fútbol, cricket, baseball, and basketball — goes beyond mere spectator sportsmanship with a subterranean "cellar" level with private billiard rooms and four dartboards often co-opted by leagues in the spring and fall. D.J. sets, live Celtic bands, and karaoke are also weekly occurrences, but most customers simply belly up to the 60-foot bar on the main floor to sample one of 200-plus beers, including the bar's namesake brew, which comes in 30 bottled varieties and 20 rotating drafts. Irish pub grub, burgers, pizza, and a raw bar with oysters from both coasts round out the menu. — Lauren Salazar

Dress Code Addendum

Hiya Folks

We received several emails concerning NYC DPHH dress code request. 1st of all it is NOT mandatory, we only strongly encourage our attendees to dress nicely. As for Jeans, wearing jeans is acceptable in most places nowaday, as long as they're not dirty, stained, ripped and/or"gaudy". This means nice jeans with dress shoes and a top is fine :)

We still say no to sneakers and baseball caps unless it's a dive bar and we will specify if it is. Otherwise we really want to see you in your best threads! Afterall, we take photos to post on this site and NYC is still one of the fashion capitals in the world!

Lastly we also want to stress that rowdy behavior is unacceptable at all times. Let's put our best foot forward and start the new year right!
Stay warm and see you all Saturday!
Jennifer & Zavier
