Galapagos is now Public Assembly

Galapagos officially changed hands earlier this year, with Matt Roff & Co. now at the helm. With the Galapagos name moving to DUMBO and the artspace under new ownership, there was a contest to name the 70 N 6th Street space (after briefly working under the name Natural Selection). Well, they've finally come to a decision (drum roll please): Public Assembly. Roff tells us that they'll also be holding the official after parties for the McCarren Pool Parties there, which start this Sunday (check out the full lineup for the McCarren Pool free shows here).

Public Assembly; I actually like that name a little more than Galapagos. And infinitely more than the Music Hall of Williamsburg Brooklyn New York Concert Hall of Kings County

If you'll all pull out your '68 building codes and turn to subchapter 8, please note that it's actually called--drum roll please--a "Place of Assembly." They received their PA permit. Good for them. Maybe one day Studio B will get around to doing that too.

Oh, nevermind. I'm a jackass. They changed their name. I read good. Strike the previous comment. They probably don't have a PA permit.
