WEDNESDAY APRIL 9
THE JACKIE FACTORY PRESENTS
MOTHERBOARDS 7.0
THE 7TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
40 AVENUE C @ 3RD STREET, NYC
10 PM - 2 AM
FREE ADMISSION WITH PASSWORD "SEVEN"

THE MOTHERBOARDS are the 21st century incarnation of a NYC nightclub tradition that spans eras, genres, genders and scenes. This vibrant virtual community was founded in 2001 by THE JACKIE FACTORY's CHI CHI VALENTI as an online haven for refugees from her Meat Market nightspot MOTHER and its parties JACKIE 60 and CLICK + DRAG. The Motherboards remain a laboratory for emerging events seven years on, and a way for performers and clubfolk to stay connected, no matter where they roam.

Every year, THE MOTHERBOARDS with an assist from THE JACKIE FACTORY NYC, throw an anniversary celebration at a new NYC venue. This year's edition takes place at a newly opened boite in the East Village. 40 AVENUE C is under the creative direction of MOTHERFUCKER founder and DJ MICHAEL T, and home to MICHAEL FORMIKA JONES aka MISTRESS FORMIKA's new Saturday night THE FAMILY. Expect a hometown crowd, reasonable drink prices, comfy banquettes and great music - Motherboards Moderator JOHNNY DYNELL (daddy) will be spinning on the diminutive dancefloor. The night also celebrates a body of interactive nightclub work - from Jackie 60's JACKIE HACKERS (1992) through INTERJACKIE (1994) and CLICK + DRAG (1996-future) - that helped spawn THE MOTHERBOARDS. Look for INTERJACKIE and CLICK + DRAG vintage video from multimedia maestro ROB ROTH and HOUSE OF DOMINATION "CYBERSLUTS" clips from the upcoming JACKIE 60 MOVIE, directed by JACK GULICK. Other delights will include an electric spoken word set from Mboards legend SEVEN, method go-go from THE HOUSE OF DOMINATION, and your MISTRESS OF CYBERMONIES - Motherboard founder CHI CHI VALENTI.

If flight connections permit I will be joining you this year for the annivrsery.

Seven years of staying connected to my new york heartbeat from at least four continents. Well deserved applause and tip of the hat to you all + thanks for the company

Hope you make it, Uly. And dont get drunk and disappear like you did at Mardi Gras!

At a party Saturday night, the fabulous CHRIS TEEN aka GLORYHOLE DOMINATION informed us that it was she in the Cyberslut/Motherboards image above, not Marti! So, after seven years of captioning it wrong, we stand corrected

Cool, will be there.

Rob Roth is a genius -

Althea Loveless showed me the clips of Rob's that she transferred from VHS for the Mboards partay on Wednesday. We'll be showing Rob's creations "The Difference Engine" (1997-ish) and "The Mistress-Master Tool" (1994) video game/interface, created for Click + Drag and Interjackie, respectively.

Can't wait for everyone to see these at the party, along with some kick-ass Cyberslut footage from the Interjackie Y2K PMS night (1999)..

For all of you 21st century Motherfolk, these really explain where The Mboards came from better than a ten thousand word article...

Fabulous, Mr. Roth!

God how I wish I could be there to celebrate but I've got this pending lawsuit so I have to stay here in Massachusetts practicing my hobble. Have a fabulous eve and post lots o pics please. Lucky number 7 indeed!

Awww. Thanks Emp. If only we had made the MM Tool into a real 'game', we would be millionaires by now! LOL!! Its funny to think how many of those clips are just on VHS and how much easier it is now to put them to DVD.

"YOU WILL"....and we did!

"YOU WILL"....and we did!

I love that!

Big thanks to Amber Ray and Vangeline Domination for their sure-to-be-stunning House of D cameos tomorrow night - carrying on the flame from the amazing 90's "sisters of the house", from Kym to Rabbit, Genocide, Marti and Eva, pictured in the videos.

Yes, big thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate last night, to our performers Seven, Vangeline and Amber Ray, to Rob for the visuals and the lovely staff at 40 Avenue C.

I guess the nature of such parties is that mostly the happy folks come out to play - there were doubtless some faces missing, but most of them have moved far, far away! You were missed bobby, s'tan, et al..

But the above-noted and so many others - it was great to see you out and looking so well..and it was a pleasure to meet some of our newer boardfolk too.

Cute space, no? And is going through its own transition, right now, so it will be interesting to see what happens there..And I guess we know where the line is drawn of "safety" from hideous fratboys, at least during the week - right at Avenue C.

Michael T. as the Motherboards crowd starts to enter.

Julian, aka mister X wonders if he has worn enough Westwood to the party.

He's cute. Wanted to flirt with him while leaving, but didn't get a chance to.

I heard my name mentioned on the mic. So sorry I couldn't have been there but lots of great news just around the corner. Stay posted!

Mr. Black aka Mr. White

(Pickles, How well do we know this pose?!!!)

"Bottoms up!"
Jonny Tingle seems to be saying...
