Hello readers! I’m scrambling to get this newsletter out before the weekend officially begins. Yes, the city has sent us various terrifying wind advisories. Yes, the mayor thinks you should probably Netflix n Chill instead of going out dancing. But will that stop you? Hopefully not. In any case, there are lots of great parties happening. You can probably build up some warmth on the dancefloor and then forget all about winter.
You can catch our pal Gordon Gloom at It’s Friday, I’m (Not) in Love: An Anti-Valentine’s Party tonight, put on by our friends at the Skint, and tomorrow you can see myself and DJ Doctor Mister spinning after midnight at Union Hall for Digital Love.
All that, plus this is your regular reminder that we only put the cherry-picked best parties here in the newsletter. There are MANY more events on the website, especially this week, it’s pretty much overflowing right now. This is just meant to give you a taste, so head to the website listings for many more options.
