Good illegal raves are hard to come by in NYC these days. At this point, every usable space has either been shut down by the cops or hijacked by bros.

Shoutouts to our friends at Delirium for donating some beer and White Label for donating Mate.

People usually want to know what’s in the Jenkem Party Nutcrackers, but truth be told, the formula always changes. This batch was a combination of chocolate rum, vodka, fruit punch, and just a dash of Red Bull. “Gourmet,” as some would say.

NYC is one of a handful of U.S. cities that are lax about public nudity, which is great. But if this were Europe, I’d also be naked while writing this caption.

We ended up with more of a “haunted middle school dance” vibe than a “Euro club where I get kidnapped” one, which was nice. (Photo thanks to Stephen Cowan).

A fog machine is a great aphrodisiac for the dance floor but terrible for taking photos.

AceMoMa on the decks (no skate pun intended). They kept the tunes fairly “accessible” for this one, spinning old-school house and techno. Don’t wanna scare away too many shy bar dwelling skaters.

There are maybe four of these “Jenkem’s” stickers left in existence, so what better place to stick one than right in the slimiest urinal in the whole building.

Worst. Party. Everrr.

Cleo (left) was MVP for the night, screening the door for sketchy looking folk, too drunk folk, or just random a-holes off the street. Since we didn’t have any permits for this one, we needed to make sure nobody called the cops or we’d be toast.

Clean up duty with Ian Michna and Mike Bloom. We ended up having 150+ beers left over, so stop by the office if you want us to toss one down to you (non-refrigerated, sorry).

One finger to show how many hours of sleep you got the night before the event.

Special thanks to: Delirium Beer, Venn Bushwick, Mike Bloom, Adrian Michna, Russell Dolan, AceMoMa, Lindsay Eschelman and everyone else who helped out.
