Last Saturday 8/29 we hosted The Boosh for the 3rd summer in a row. A dance party in it’s pure form orchestrated by m i c c a in the name of radical joy.
It was so fun 🤩… we had the honor to have two legends behind the turntables: Doug Sherman from The Loft and Andrew VanWyngarde. Vibes were immaculate and the dance floor was on 🔥 until the end. Thanks to m i c c a and all the volunteers for their incredible work and faith in the power of movement.
Hope to see you this long labor day weekend for some more fun!

Amid the devastation and uncertainty in Venezuela, international emergency aid is urgently needed and getting there. But there are also many local organizations already working on the ground—often with very limited access to funding, supplies, and resources.
These groups have been there for years. They know their communities, they understand the needs firsthand, and they will remain essential not only during this emergency response, but throughout the long road toward recovery and reconstruction.
We want to help strengthen their ability to serve. Our goal is to find a legal and transparent way to route financial support from people around the world directly to trusted Venezuelan organizations that are already doing this critical work.
We are looking for experienced legal guidance related to international NGOs, charitable giving, cross-border aid, and nonprofit structures.
If you have experience in this area—or know someone who does—please reach out. Your advice could help ensure that urgently needed support reaches the people and communities who need it most.
Together, we can help local organizations continue helping Venezuela!
