We've all had the experience of paying WAY too much for NEW YEARS. You spend a bazillion dollars to get in to an event only to have to spend another bazillion on drinks, then IF you're lucky, you'll find your friends.

Your pals at Ninja Skillz, Pocket Underground, Blue Insomnia, and Project Alma think that you deserve a different sort of event. Cheaper to get in, and somewhere where you know all of your friends and family will be.

Featuring some of the best musical talent and some pretty stellar surprises, New Years Eve 2009 will see the return of NEXUS to LA.

* One of the most insane lineups to hit the LA Underground.
* Fully permitted downtown LA warehouse.
* 4 rooms.
* Outdoor Fire Area.
* Full bar.

So leave behind the $80-100 cover charges and get your butt over to NEXUS.

CONFIRMED ACTS:

BLUE ( Blueinsomnia )
JESSE WRIGHT ( Pocket Underground )
FATFINGER ( Project Alma )
SAYNT ( Ninja Skillz, SF )
WOLFIE ( DjWolfie.com )
PORTER TINSLEY (Shade / Heat )
THE BODYROCK DJs ( Ninja SKillz, SF )
