PSA - Naloxene/Narcan is free and you should always carry some if you can

Horrifying experience last night where on our way to a new spot we saved a kid’s life (he couldn’t have been much older than 21) with two doses of narcan. Fucking 911 was going to voicemail and it took 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive - not a single one of the kid’s friends came out, it was an absolute clusterfuck.

If you Google nyc health naloxene, it will take you to a link where the city will ship you some for free. Can’t stress enough how important it is to have it - fentanyl overdosing can kill someone in a few minutes and the signs are as follows: small pupils, loss of consciousness, slow or shallow breathing (will almost legit feel like they’re dying), cold clammy skin, and blue lips. You take the naloxene and tilt their head back and put it in until your fingers touch their nose and inject the spray. Keep the victim awake and in a comfortable position where they will not choke on their vomit and if they continue to be unresponsive, you can try again in the other nostril then stay with them until help arrives

you really never know when you may need to use this and it doesn’t hurt to carry something that could save someone’s life. If you’re in a crew, even just one of you could carry it.

Stay safe everyone and have so much fun out there 💚 hope everyone had an epic 4th!

Betical was fucking phenomenal at the ruins. What a performance!!!

Knicks game at Chris lake

And mamdani calling in to let the party go on until 12:30? Legendary. Wasn’t expecting anything sports related but man that added some undeniable electric energy to the evening

Nice dancing with you all out there 😤 just vibed out all night with my boy and really loved the music I was hearing. Came here impulsively last minute and do not regret it at all. Crowd was lovely! Exiting under the k bridge is a nightmare lmao we gotta do better next time cuz we just ended up walking home across the Kosciuszko and my body is angry at me

I took the best shower of my life and am going to knock out but hope you all had an incredible evening wherever the night took you

NYC raver reporting in!

One of my besties suggested we see RHR without knowing it was an early morning show since he went on at 6am at a local venue here known as nowadays (they had a nonstop event). I will never turn down an opportunity to see x3butterfly - so when I saw they were on before RHR, I immediately copped tickets and helped us prepare - sleep early and wake up early! I woke up at 3 to take care of my doggy and get ready, and it was such a treat to hear x3 absolutely ripping in as I rolled in with my favorite people around 5am. RHR then took us on a fucking journey where I eventually felt like a feral animal in the rainforest? As the sun rose? What the fuck. That was insane! Verraco finally came on and took us on a multi genre adventure that has me feeling depleted in the best way possible (that dubstep shit was nuts)

dancing on and off from 5-11am and ended with 26k steps, had brunch nearby at a killer pizza spot (pan), walked aimlessly in the sunlight that finally blessed us with its warmth, drank champagne outside, and now cuddling with these people I love so much on the couch and continuously yapping about how the day is refusing to end and how we are just not the same anymore

I have work tomorrow and I refuse to accept that a life full of love and fun has to end 😭 everyone i interacted with at nowadays was so kind and the dance floor was a fucking vibe, my people were moving!! bathrooms downstairs lowkey felt like something out a horror movie but it’s ok we found another option lol also that green smoothie they had for breakfast? So delish. Also loved that backyard area that opened up after the sun came up - wish we had some fire pits going but this weather is dumb and real spring will be here soon!

I’m a new person today and am excited to see who I leave as next time! No Sunday scaries, people! Until our next dance!

As the bouncer blessed us upon our exit: peace, love, and go get it!
