A Quiet Night With Friends

I find moments of queer connection in the disco ball flashes and bass thumps of a party, where it doesn’t matter whether you’re dancing with strangers or friends. In this ongoing series, I look for moments in a party that tell a story, elicit a vibe, or capture a sense of (sometimes quiet) joy amidst the chaotic action of a night out. My mantra for this series is from Andrew Holleran’s 1978 queer classic Dancer from the Dance: “Now of all the bonds between homosexual friends, none was greater than that between friends who danced together.”

Hold Onto That Ticket

Often at the end of a party, the only photo on my phone is the one I took of my ticket or coat check number so I don’t lose it. I noticed others around me also doing this and so this ongoing series celebrates those tickets as remnants of the start of a night out, however hazy it might get from there.
