coffee house tour

WILMINGTON's Most Original, Best, and funkiest Hookah bar, if we do say so ourselves... started in february 2004.

in our 5th year, thanks to YOU...

since we opened, lots of imitations have come around, and none come remotely close. If you haven't been here yet, come find out why the Juggling Gypsy is the place for the strange, fringe, freak, alternative, indy, creative, odd, and otherwise unique individuals in our fair city of Wilmington, NC.

Where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, we humbly thank each and every one who graces the Gypsy with their presence, shares their talents, supports the performing arts talks with strangers, demonstrates tolerance towards others & is able to simply BE as you are here.

See you soon!

***********************************************************

THE NC SMOKING BAN ?

yeah, well it was bound to happen eventually. The Gypsy has been expecting this for a few years now, so we've had a contingency plan just in case, and some interesting plans up our sleeves. We're not going anywhere, in case you were worried. We can't spill the beans in the meantime, but we are ready for the inevitable encroachment on our civil liberties happening on January 1, 2010... And if they thought smoking inside was bad, wait until they see what we have in store.

************************************************************

NEW! GYPSY MOBILE HOOKAH DOME

This year, the Gypsy has been moving beyond its walls to bring this unique experience to festivals, private events, weddings, and all types of wild events for some real Gypsy-style traveling adventure. We call it SHISHADEN.

Already having been showcased at several major music festivals around the Southeast US, Shishaden is headed to The Port City Music festival, the Trinumeral festival in Asheville, and soon to make its first appearance on the West Coast at upcoming events.

We're always looking for more talented artists with a desire for travel, and a willingness to work hard on a creative team to create some of the most unique, interactive, and downright Gypsified environments imaginable.

Maybe your event is next in line for the Shishaden. For more information, contact us! Bash (AT) firetalent (dot) com

ORIGINAL MUSIC ANYONE?

THE GYPSY GOES 100% original music

In an effort to more strongly support local, unsigned, and independent musicians, the Gypsy
has converted our music to 100% MP3 and internet radio, providing only original, unsigned, and independent music.

You may be curious to know that we ONLY play Cds from the artists who have played & submitted their CD to the GYpsy. In 5 years, we've amassed quite a collection of eclectic sounds for your enjoyment. ..............
Nationally recognized bands who have already made it, and are readily recognizable and familiar have no trouble gaining new audiences with their ubiquitous airplay. We at the Gypsy beleive that the best songs have yet to be introduced into the larger universe, so we're doing our part to give the indy guys their due.

IF you have an mp3 collection of funky, wild, interesting, or otherwise independent music, by all means, do feel free to drop a CD by the Gypsy for play!
Make sure the CD is labeled with the aritst's name, and myspace or webpage.
So if you're floating around myspace, and find a great unsigned independent act with downloadable songs, bring them to us!
dont forget to send a thank you to the act for making such great music, and let em know they'll be played at one of the most unusual spots around!

FAQ: THE GYPSY MELTS: hot and gooey, just for you-ee.

Gypsy Melt? What is a Melt? I didnt even know the Gypsy had a kitchen. Amazing how many people don't know The Gypsy serves hot meals...
Every so often, we revise our menu to shake things up a bit.
You can't get burritos this time around, (theyll be back!)
We've created some really tasty, served-up-quick Flatbread pitas filled with melted cheddar and mozzarella, in tasty combinations like Pepperoni & Cheddar,
Grilled Chicken and Mozzarella, Veggie (with jalapenos for kick!), and various special concoctions.
If you need it fast, we got you covered.

Also available, 7" personal pizzas & grilled quesadillas!

THE NEW GYPSY MUSIC SAMPLER: ITS HERE !!!
2009 NEW MUSIC SAMPLER IS HERE!!!!! new music to strip for. chunky grooves, strange noise, deep beats, and soulful acousticness, all for a measley $8 bucks. 21 songs. one stellar CD.it might be your last chance to get the 2008 sampler, featuring some of the best acts that have ever played the Gypsy, before theyre gone.
