My post is on the website The Awl today:

…it is packed and really hot now. I roll my sleeves up and I am sweating a little and my glasses got fogged up so I took them off and then put them back on a minute ago. The girl who looks like Lady Gaga is still dancing about three feet in in front of the DJ booth. I am playing A Milli by Lil Wayne and everyone is rapping along. A zombie has his hands in the air. A female jungle cat, maybe a lion or a tiger, just took a pill out of a Tarzan’s hand and downed it with a clear cocktail. A girl with a neon wig on is grinding against Elvis I think. I play The Monster Mash and a lot of people do that dance that Uma Thurman and John Travolta do at the diner in Pulp Fiction where they stick their arms out like dinosaur arms and bend their knees and swivel their torsos…
