Look out! There’s a storm a’comin. Sure, maybe Joaquin won’t hit this weekend but the rains will probably keep up. You should get out of the house though, if the city gets savaged next week, this might be your best chance. And luckily for you there are lots of great places to go dancing, especially if you like New Order or Fleetwood Mac.
Also just a note, we’re starting up a new party called “YEAH” this month, where three of your fearless YDH2S DJs will be spinning lots of new indie rock and electropop, plus a few classics for good measure. The party is going to be on Sunday the 11th, which is part of a 3-day weekend for most folks, so work on your stamina and go here for more info. Oh and the weekend after that you’ll find us at our Lost Boys-themed Feeling Gloomy, THOU SHALL NOT GLOOM, which is already looking nuts. It’s gonna be a good October
We generally just pick our favorite 2-3 parties per night to list in the newsletter, but we always list way more parties on the website. If you don’t immediately see something that catches your fancy, be sure to check our full listings on the web.
