Movie Mondays at Beauty Bar: Style Wars

style_wars.jpgThe Alamo has Music Mondays, so it seems only fitting that a bar-slash-music-venue should host a few films. Beauty Bar and I Luv Video are teaming up to bring you Movie Mondays, a celebration of film in a bad-ass bar setting.

This month's Movie Monday theme is hip-hop, and tonight the projectors will be rolling Style Wars, a classic eighties celebration of graffiti, breakdancing, and rapping. So slip on your Chucks, grab a can of spray paint, and slide on over to Beauty Bar to watch a battle between good and evil as NYC mayor Ed Koch fights to control the creative spirit of graffiti artists like Kase 2, Skeme, Cap, Dondi, Seen, Shy 147, and more.

DJs will spin after the film, so you can (try to) emulate the breakdancing moves displayed by Crazy Legs and other breakers in the movie. Just don't come crying to us if you get hurt.
