Ok, nostalgia has gotten the better of me. It wasn’t a DGN night, but there was a handful of “the old guard” at smalls this evening, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen an aftermath thread. It was insanely crowded, with the dance floor being shoulder to shoulder, so I didn’t get a chance to talk to everyone I saw. Plus I’m a little bit inebriated since my wife is getting tattooed tomorrow, had to stay sober and got taken advantage of as the designated driver, so here I go. Xilliatoxic was working the door and looked amazing as she always does. It always makes me smile to see her. The Gimp was everywhere. I am so sorry to hear about his car issues but glad business is about to pick up. We had some good laughs like always and hopefully can hang next Friday at the dark side of the moon laser light show. His partner Nienna and I were waxing nostalgic some Troy and other old board stories. The floor was pretty crowded but we both got a little much needed time on it. I didn’t talk to Pleasurekatzen but her set was the amazing old school 80’s and 90’s dark wave you would expect and love. I saw her share a smile with Aaron Hingst on stage when they were switching off, knew amazing things were about to happen, and wasn’t wrong. Msterbeau was awesome to see again. (Talk about old guard 😉) Funny story, I happened to see an almost 20 year old picture of him with hair today while creeping on old posts here and had to share that with him. Glad we got a chance to share part of the dance floor for a bit. I never said hi, and neither of them would likely remember me, but both Phee and Odims_Sphere were both sitting at a table in the front room. Likely because the dance floor was so full. Hopefully they got out there after I left and things started quieting down. and my personal favorite for the evening, Aequorea made a rare appearance. I feel like we have had many near misses lately but both my wife and I agree your are our favorite person to run into at the club. Sorry I was already 3gins in when you showed up, but I really appreciate all the hugs. I am sure there were others, but anyone who follows what I post knows I’m more of an introverted lurker and years go drinking gin has definitely clouded my memory, so apologies. I did go up to a random person who looked like Slogo did 17 years ago towards the end of the night but even as I was asking him if he was Slogo,‘I realized we were all older and there was no possible way. I was right. It wasn’t him. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I missed it. I love Smalls. But I went to the Dirty show.

I’m feeling nostalgic having just left Smalls Black Hearts Ball and having seen and talked to 8 dng’ers circa 2009 but not having an aftermath thread to post about all of them. And a little sad most of them wouldn’t ever see it anyway.
