This one is almost ubiquitous if you live in a major city center with a bustling scene of young people, unfortunately my current city isn’t exactly the ripe format for this (although San Antonio has its pockets for this kind of thing right now and the scene is small but mighty) any chance I get to get under some strobe lights and fog machines in front of a big sound system - I get a true taste of what freedom is. I can move my body in an expressive manner and expect little to no judgement (maybe a grilling from my friends), stay up as late as I’m willing to, and share stories/secrets/opinions with friends and willing strangers in a chill out room. I think nightlife has a sore reputation at times for being an asshole magnet but some of the most creative and sensitive beings I’ve met have been in this kind of environment I miss it dearly and can’t wait for the next dance, truly

yes yes yes, a dance floor is sacred and it’s really special when people treat it as such

addendum to this: it doesn’t have to happen in the confines of a legit piece of property or space. I’ve seen this on bridges and in tunnels and baseball fields and an abandoned long john silvers it doesn’t matter if the tunes bang and people wanna have fun

People are constantly asking me where to go out in New York, but that’s kind of a hard question to answer. What I try to encourage people to do is get together with a group of people they love and go somewhere they would normally never go. People are far too fucking pretentious about their nightlife in this city and if you’ve spent every weekend for the last three months at Basement or Bossa or whatever, you’re probably chasing something you’ll never actually catch. I have the most fun when my friends go somewhere out of our ordinary, with people we’d never normally associate with. All of this to say: It’s ok to go dance at ACME sometimes.
