Also, here's an update on 10/30. HUGE thanks to Susquehanna River Creative Conspiracy's Chris and TJ for helping me pivot Devil's Night to a new spot and for getting the folks from DiFrancesco Meadery in the loop for folks' drinkin' desires. And thanks to Dan for all his help getting me connected with TJ on such short notice.

See y'all soon!

On Wednesday, we (Stygian, Nebula, and Ate) reached out to the owners and creative director of Little Mutants and requested an all-hands meeting regarding interpersonal and operational choices which hurt or alienated staff, talent, and attendees over the past 4+ months. We requested an invitation to meet also be extended to a number of former staff, investors, talent, and customers whose personal accounts we’ve collected so they could be heard as well.

This was an attempted call-in and we hoped we would at least be given the courtesy of a face-to-face meeting. Instead, the creative director said they felt it would be “disrespectful to re-open any emotional wounds relating to operations given the circumstances.”

We believe it is just as - if not more disrespectful - for them and one of the owners to repeatedly dodge or reject opportunities to address issues ranging from poor communication to failure to implement basic harm reduction/safety policies to alleged financial mismanagement to outright lying to our and our colleagues’ faces about all of the above.

We believe it is more disrespectful to repeatedly center themselves when confronted.

We believe it is more disrespectful to say they’d be re-opening wounds they only acknowledge when convenient for them.

We believe their and one of the owners’ behavior is more disrespectful than accountability and change could ever be, and their refusal of both says everything.

We are choosing to leave Little Mutants effective immediately. STYGIAN will likewise be pulling Shadowland and the 10/30 Tassel/Russian White/La Cabra show. We’re heartbroken to see a space we felt was safe be bled dry by others’ poor choices and will miss the chaotic joy RE/POSE represented to us.

If you have any questions, please reach out. If you can think of a q***r-affirming space you think can handle us at our most blue bathroom - especially weekly - we’re all ears.

Thank you to the folks who shared some time and joy with us. We’ll see you soon.

Do you prefer your dance music be dark, nasty, sexy, kinky, heavy, and/or freaky? Looking for an excuse to break out the leather, latex, or jute for a few hours outside your usual skillshares or parties AND on this, the thirstiest of weekdays? Just wanna grab a beer or cocktail from a solid rotation of local, craft, and macro options?

Join DJ Brad Scott and I, your Q***r Overlords (™), for our monthly return to Bar XIII Delaware THURSDAY, 10/24, for Asylum 13 - Dark Beats Dance Party!! We’ll smite you with some h***y sonic goodness and heavy beats (hehe) to get your heart racing!

Join us at West Art for the ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of SPiLL: a sober-ish q***r social featuring tea, talk, and tunes! Inspired by gay tea dances of the 1950s, SPiLL is a 21+ BYO social with one goal: the creation of a space to do q***r joy free from judgment. We provide the space and sound, you provide stuff to do, be it solo, with others, or as chill parallel play!
REMINDER: moving forward, SPiLL will run 6 - 9PM. We are also adjusting our format and will be playing tunes from a (curated) playlist from 6-8 and STYGIAN will DJ 8ish - 9PM. We feel these changes better align with our attendees’ schedules, are more copacetic with a Tuesday evening’s *~energy~*, and allow good boy Styg (that’s me!) to get to hang out, too.

-Not sure what you can bring? Here are some ideas: zine/collage supplies, relatively not-messy art stuff, kandi materials, games, knitting/felting/quilting, yoga mats, etc.

-Simply want to show up? Please do! Bring your Switch, your current crochet project, or word search/sudoku/crossword that's been giving you trouble.

-From 8-9, I will play an eclectic mix of pride hits, dance pop, disco and other upbeat/chill vibes at a level that allows folks to chat, share skills, or vibe!

-There is a cat. His name is Prince Sidon (aka Princetopher) and he is very food-motivated.

This is a BYO event, so come with your photo ID and whatever tasty beverages you have in mind. Share or get your personal sip on. We'll have hot water and basic teas on hand for folks lookin' for a hot-up. Guests are also welcome to bring snacks to share; please label ingredients for allergens.

10/10/2024

You + me + Thursdays at Little Mutants = Q***R NIGHT!! Wait a minute... that's TODAY, 10/10! Come say hello and get your pre-weekend pregame on! I’ll be in the DJ booth all night long spinning an eclectic mix of pride hits, q***r and trans artists, new relevant finds, and anything else that gets you groovin’: pop, disco, house, ballroom, electronica - it's all on the table, bb.

6-8PM EST is our happy hour with weekly drink specials AND it’s free to enter. After 8PM, admission is $8 (notaflof).

9-10PM is RE/POSE, our weekly drag show with NEBULA and ATE! This week’s guest is MENTALIA DECAY!

10pm-12am we’re back to dancin’ with a lil pop-up drag sprinkled in around 11 (except for 4th thursdays - they’re a lil different). Bring your ones, fives, and big ol' bills and tip! your! talent AND your bartenders!!

see you at Mutator s o o n.

It's almost time for Shadowland Lancaster's monthly takeover at Little Mutants! We’re kicking Halloween off right with the next installment of our concert series AND your monthly dark dance party back to back!

After the Silver Walks / Helix / Official Assemblage 23 show, we've got your monthly dance party with me and one of our OG's, the one and only DJ Diesel 717 . That’s right: your leather daddy AND your latex daddy smooshed together in one booth! How will we survive? Who will play the goth, industrial, ebm, dark pop, futurepop, aggrotech, and other good goods and what will be left of them?

**COSTUMES ARE ENCOURAGED. We will have a themed costume party for our November event to send off the season given its closer proximity to Halloween**

Our gogo dancers, NEBULA and PLASMYTH, will keep the energy high all night long. Please remember your tippin’ bills for our dancers and bartenders!

If you attend the concert, admission to the party is included in your ticket fee! Otherwise, it’s the usual $10 at the door.
