appears with…

dance + crowd

dance + crowd — When the dance floor started getting serious...

dance + crowd

dance + crowd — Sweaty dancing until late! Happy birthday, Leigh!

dance + crowd — People were still there shaking their bums.

dance + crowd — ...slowly filled the place and the awkward co-mingling of our two groups on the dance floor was a scene to behold.

dance + crowd — ...was opened to the public and the crowd that comes into the city to hang out in the Meat Packing District on a Thursday night...

dance + crowd — The place was fucking PACKED. After wading through the crowd all the way to the back of the venue...

dance + crowd — The view of the dance floor from the DJ booth. Ooof!

dance + crowd — ...a dance-party explosion! The source? Look directly under the disco ball and peep DJ Matty Matt on the decks in the other room! Hahaha!

dance + crowd — This is a picture of the bar from the DJ booth a little before closing time. Good times.

dance + crowd — Everyone always jumps around and throws their hands up in the air and dances their asses off.

dance + crowd — On with the dance party! My favorite part of all weddings is when the DJ invariably plays Shout by The Isley Brothers.

dance + crowd — Everyone formed two lines, held hands...

dance + crowd — ...and made a tunnel for Emma and Rob to walk through! Hahaha.

dance + crowd — The view of Movida from the weird eye-hole booth.

dance + crowd — Old school Misshapes, I miss you.

dance + crowd — The best part of Misshapes is after it's closed and they kick everyone out except for the totally wasted party people who still want to get their dance on and...

dance + crowd — ...people out dancing on a Wednesday night! Woooo!

dance + crowd — What I lacked in technical proficiency, I made up for in balls to tha walls rock the fuck out tracks. Off the top of my head, a few of my choice jizzams of the night were:

Judy is a Punk - Screeching Weasel
I Don't Want to Grow Up - Descendents
Mustapha Dance - The Clash
Gimme Some More - Busta Rhymes
99 Red Balloon - 7 Seconds
Ready Steady Go - Generation X
Ever Fallen in Love - Buzzcocks
Dancing Machine - Jackson 5
Gloria - Laura Brannigan (of course!)
Dance Hall Music - Murder City Devils
Bombshell - Op Ivy
Mona Lisa - Slick Rick
Miss You - Rolling Stones
Rat Fink - Misfits
Maneater - Hall & Oates

and my personal fave...
Jump in the Line - Motherfucking Harry Belafonte

dance + crowd — ...some more dancing.

dance + crowd — After returning home and doing an hour of jumping jacks to ensure I'd exorcised the majority of my spicy thai burps, I met up with Vinay and we headed over to Misshapes.

dance + crowd — See? Moves being busted.

dance + crowd — ...and ultimately, the cermonial, birthday freaking of strangers on the dancefloor. Happy bday, Amber!

dance + crowd — The party was a little much. It was way too over crowded and we'd missed the open bar. We were just about to leave when we ran into...

dance + crowd — Remember Waldo? Here's a page from my forthcoming book Where's Gaydo? (You'll note that he's still doing "the Molly.")

J.P. dances with the crowd.

February 27, 2003

dance + crowd — Straight-up, these parties get OUT OF HAND. Each time I go it gets rowdier than the last...

dance + crowd — Girl on the left = Ohmygod. (But PVC pants? Seriously?)

dance + crowd — Dance floor not-so-much-madness.
