We’re wrapping up 2024 by celebrating NYC’s trains and rails — subways, Metro-North, the Long Island Railroad, even the High Line. Live out the exhibitionist or voyeur fantasies of adding some flavor to your daily ride. Linger on the intimate gestures of swiping a MetroCard and cranking a turnstile — or just swing that emergency exit wide open to let someone in. Dress in a tunnel-ready jumpsuit or a commute outfit, or live your no-pants fantasy.

(If you’re already growing excited about getting held by a train dispatcher, take a momentary delay to signal in the #cruising channel on our Discord server.)

Before you transfer to another line of thinking, be sure to read our updated COVID policy below!!!

Express yourself!

We are starting the year off with an ode to cybernetic society. Attach your best enhancements and prepare to deep dive into the web so we can all hack the planet together. Dress code is whatever the word cyberpunk means to you: whether a combo of 90s grunge and metallics, futuristic Blade Runner leather, or even full-on Ghost In The Shell robotics. Get creative with it! We hope to see at least one electric sheep.

NEVER SURRENDER: Magical Transformations

Post author By limnrix
Post date December 23, 2022

Never Surrender is starting the new year by taking on evil in the name of love and justice!

Saturday, January 14, 2023
7pm-midnight
A Secret Location in Downtown Manhattan

NEVER SURRENDER is a recurring party that has taken several forms over several years, both live and virtual. We returned to live events in Spring 2022 and are now gathering every other month as long as desire and circumstance permit.

We are a place to play, to feel safe, and to reconnect. We are a chill space for good times with good people. We are a party and a protest, a ritual and a revel. We are a circle of love spitting naked defiance at a world in crisis.

Make loud noises. Leave lipstick traces. Make memories. Talk, play, show off, or just be a witness to the magic. Come as whatever gender you are, wear whatever makes you happy.

🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌🌙🎀🌌

Have you ever secretly dreamed about having the power of the moon so you could fight monsters? Or maybe you wished you were the terrifying aliens invading Earth instead? This party is all about transforming into your ultimate magical self, whether that be someone fighting for the future of the planet or a villain looking to sow chaos and destruction. Come in your best sailor suit complete with sparkly gems or break out the leather, lace, and an intimidating cape. You get to choose which side you’re on and what your powers will be.
