These are flyerless events. (if you don't know if you're invited... you might not be - check)
[J4CK IN THE B0X] (hushabye) 4.16.05 104 W. Main St. Slugger City (Louisville)
The wait is over. As you know Hushabye is about a return to the original groove, getting back to the garden. For some of the old people, that place is St. Louis in 1994 or 1995. A time when the event you were looking for could just as likely have been a 2000 person warehouse party as it could have been you, 20 people in their socks and DJ Dante in our own special guests apartment...
Few DJ's epitomize that time--that groove more than St. Love himself:

DJs
Nitro
Nitro embodies all that is right, good and most importantly funky in the history of house music in the midwest, a fact that the world, in shows across America from San Francisco to Baltimore and from Detroit to Memphis and all points in between/beyond recognizes.
In 2002, he released a remix of "Da Bomb!" by Donald Glaude on Donald's label, Respect Recordings. He has vinyl releases on UrbanLoops Records, Fork Records and Better Days Records. Nitro combines heart, soul, house music and turntablism in a way which assures that no one else's style will ever be mistaken for his. Hushabye extends a warm welcome to the one and only SOUL BROTHER NUMBER 1! DJ NITRO, take us back Jack!
The Lady Foursquare
It has been an interesting ride since the serendipitous private DEMF2001 after-party, where the lady shared the decks and support of Paul Johnson. Her aggressive technical flare, almost pentecostal energy and turntablist trickery that have earned appearances preceding Felix da Housecat, DJ Scribble, Paul Johnson, Q-burns Abstract Message, Baby Anne, Reid Speed and Honey Dijon.
But don't think for a second that this "Louisville Slugger" is hitting like a girl. She has rocked tag sessions with Trevor Lamont and KitChaps of VHS or Beta (Astralwerks). This summer she enjoyed a breakthough mainstage performance at Caveman Experience II, holding court with Terry Mullan, Diego Ro-k, and Dieselboy. While only 150 original copies of her now classic 2002 turntablist house CD, "Let Me Show You Love" (recorded live on "The Body Electric") were pressed, it remains heavily bootlegged, with 1000's circulating. Her newest CD "What Happened?," a tour de force live set, showcases the turntablism which has become her calling card she will spend the spring of 2005 supporting new tracks and UFO Jeans.
The Hushabye House would also like to extend a warm welcome to our newest roomates...
Ben Alan +Crescendo
When we first heard Ben and Terry, never would we have imagined that their musical paths would arrive at house music. Now we can't believe they've only known jack for such a short period in time. The Hushabye House is utterly impressed and inspired by these two artists seperately and together. Their ability to find connections in house, electro and more is a wink to our history and a nod to the future. Welcome to the House boys.
And last but certainly not least we are proud to herald the return of:

Safe, legal Slugger City Venue 104 w. Main Street (Main Street Lounge-the Black room) 10PM-4AM 21+/5 dollar, all kinds of holler. Come as you were. be there or be...
10 things to remember...
1. Where others seek to grow we will shrink, hide and drop off the radar. Doctors call unrestricted growth in the body a tumor. We know when we have enough.
2. No event will ever cost more than 5 dollars with a pass or RSVP or visual recognition at the door. These are private parties made public. Our continued existence in this unwelcome climate for electronic events is contingent upon the behavior of the crowd and our ability to trust and account for every person that walks in the door. That accountability is not a negotiable factor in the event. As a result, without a pass, the event is 10 dollars.
3. Hushabye is a no-profit organization. Any profit will be filtered into charitable organizations or community based projects. Nobody is getting rich.
4. There is no guest list, ever. Nobody is cool. You're here for the right reasons or you're not here at all.
5. All staff including the organizers (excepting artists) must pay to get into the event. Everybody works because they want to help. Not because they want to get in free. This is a communitarian effort.
6. We only use independently owned legal venues for events. We try to spend our dollars on small businesses that are, like us, fighting to stay alive, local and moral in a world where most a trying to go global and eat the competition alive with no regard to being a just or reasonable organization.
7. Overhead will not exceed what we keep in our bank account. Everyone gets paid for his or her time. Period.
8. There are no drugs in the venue. There is no violence. There are no arguments. Any unexpected problem will be dealt with quietly, peacefully and sanely. We insure fewer problems by knowing no less than 90% of the heads that walk through the door as reasonable, moderately sober and peaceful adults. When that changes, we quit.
9. The 8th commandment is insured by a no-flyer rule of thumb. Use only existing reliable channels of information to bring reliable folks through the door. Flyers are restricted to photocopied directions and business card size reminders. We want about exactly three people through the door. And the 9th commandment is a good way to keep that in check. Tried. Tested. True. We've only broken from this once. And would hesitate doing it again.
10. There should be at least 30 people in the room that you would trust your cash box with. When that changes, we quit.
