Last Night hit off the official grand opening weekend of The Crosby, a kickin' new venue-restaurant-bookstore-bar in the Santa Ana Artists Village opened by Free The Robots. Our boy Co.Fee and his crew My Hollow Drum (M.H.D.) were providin' some fresh beats and lucky you, they're droppin' frequent on Thursdays. Be sure to check out Co.fee's new joint, No Borders.



Some of the hardworkin' chef's bringing you delicious food rollin' out hard til 1:30am! What?! Bookmark it in your brains for your late night growls.



The most appropriate decor; 1 whole wall full of old stereo boomboxes. I love that old chrome looking plastic. Shiny shiny shiny shiny!



The bar bar with lots of Maria candles and of course a fat boombox atop.



More from the M.H.D. crew! Tonight The Crosby will be hosting the art works of Shepard Fairey who will also be spinnin' as DJ Diabetic. The many behind Obey Giant and tons of other artwork phenomenas. Better get their early, it's free and going to be action packed. Also Saturday, the final night of celebration, will feature Stussy sponsored Turnable Lab, live sets from Nosaj Thing and Free The Robots with others. Too many to name. Be sure to check all that out at The Crosby, 400 N. Broadway in Santa Ana!
