    When you focus on quality rather than quantity in life like us, you rarely end up disappointed. And we like to think such is the case for the parties we've been throwing on both coasts over the past year. But every now and then, a party comes along that's so epic, that we're forced to raise the bar on our standards – no pun intended. Alex Wang is known for throwing some of the best parties of Fashion Week, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to take over the bar at last night's celebration of his spring/summer '12 collection. Actually, epic doesn't even begin to describe it. With a frat party theme in place, all the great elements of our college party memories were there – glow sticks, endless amounts of alcohol (aka Kanon), Greek letters and pictures of naked girls adorning the walls, beer pong, and the inevitable end-of-the-night climax involving loud music (thanks to a performance by Odd Future) and spurts of champagne raining over the crowd more aggressively than Hurricane Irene.

  • 4 Questions With...Merlin Bronques

    Bronques

     

    It’s Thursday and you know what that means- it’s time for the Hudson Sky Terrace! This week we’ll be joined by one of our favorite FOKs, Merlin Bronques from Last Night’s Party. When he’s not making nights memorable, he’s the one capturing it all on film answering the question “where were you last night?” Thank goodness for him, sometimes we need actual documentation of those crazy nights out on the town. He’s made some pretty amazing videos for us including our Coachella video- watch it and we swear you’ll be making plans for the music festival faster than Bronques’ camera shutter.

    Speaking of fast- it's easy to RSVP each week. Every Thursday, all you have to do is tweet @kanonvodka and @hudsonNYC with the hashtag #kanonskyterrace before 3 PM and we’ll put you on the list.

    Tomorrow when we’re asked where we were last night, we’ll tell them we were overlooking the Hudson and sipping a Kanon cocktail- not too shabby, we think. 

    1. If you weren't a nightlife photographer/videographer, what would you be doing?
    I would be trying to figure out how to be a nightlife photographer/videographer and make it a career.

    2. You're quite the expert when it comes to parties. What's the most memorable one you've ever been to?
    People that party a lot are usually jaded. They sometimes don't even notice when an amazing party is happening right around them. That said, I always feel like the best parties are just ahead of me. Otherwise, why even go out?

    3. Best part about your job?
    1.The archives of photos I have that no one has seen... (yet)
    2. Going to a place I've never been every few weeks.
    3. Knowing that most of my friends are so talented that I'm just documenting their rise to stardom.

    4. What's the last thing that made you say "I love New York"?
    After traveling so much in the last 6 months, getting back and seeing that an ordinary night in NYC still beats special nights, anniversaries, openings, and closings from everywhere I've been in the world.

  • Last Night's Party Takes Coachella

     

    We're still not over Coachella. Deal with it. But while you think you've seen it all from the video by Mark The Cobrasnake we posted last week, get ready to witness an entirely new perspective on our amazing weekend out in the Indio desert. We asked our FOK Merlin Bronques, who also happens to be the man (and most importantly, the eyes) behind the go-to source for party coverage, Last Night's Party, to document our Coachella experience through his lens. He did all that and more. Watch it and see the weekend through his well-placed eyes.

  • FOK Guest Blogger: Bronques from Last Night's Party

    Yesterday, we hosted a party for Saturdays NYC Surf's 1-year anniversary at our humble abode in Southampton, and just like our 4th of July soiree, it was a blast (to say the least). The Saturdays boys splashed into NYC with their rad beachwear/surf shop/espresso bar/outdoor garden deck experience in SoHo one year ago. They have since built a loyal community of generally awesome customers, friends and Kanon drinkers. Everyone hearts them, and it showed. A bus full of party people came rolling up to the house around 4 PM and by 4:07 PM there were Kanon Organic Vodka drinks served in coconuts, music blasting, people diving into the pool, pigs roasting, and loads of ridiculously attractive folks roaming around making eyes at one another. If you missed it, here's a wink for you..

    Since one of those attending happened to be our favorite 'photo instigator' Merlin Bronques, he became a FOK for the weekend (that's Friend of Kanon, for those of you who are new readers). Bronques is the founder and photographer behind Last Night's Party, the infamous website that documents the inner workings of NYC and global nightlife, no matter how debaucherous... Bronques shot a video for us, using nothing but his iPhone. IMPRESSIVE- It's artsy and real and fresh. Just like the man himself. Watch it over and over and yes, she is flirting with you..just you.
