Virgin FreeFest Kicks Off with Free Late-Night DJs

Whether you got tickets for Sunday's Virgin Mobile FreeFest or not, you'll want to know about the Virgin FreeFest Kickoff Party on Saturday night at the 9:30 club: The free late-night party features DJ sets by Pat Mahoney of LCD Soundsystem (aka "the guy who's not James Murphy"), Ursula 1000, who has a new album out on Eighteenth Street Lounge Records, and local hotshot Will Eastman of Bliss.

There's no cover charge when you RSVP at http://uptheantics.com/vfest, and the Antics crew -- sponsored by Toyota -- will be onsite printing up free custom T-shirts. Doors open at 11 p.m., and the music goes until 3.
