Fool's Gold Day Off Returns To NYC!

Posted on Aug 23rd, 2011

Back! Back in a New York groove!

The thousands of people who attended our Day Off party last year (or saw the footage immortalized in Duck Sauce’s smash “Barbra Streisand” video) spent an afternoon living it up with the country’s most fun MCs and DJs, eating hamburgers in one hand and catching a crowd-surfing Yelawolf in the other.
