First Warm Night

Last night, I went to one of the silliest, yet most brilliant parties yet: First Warm Night. It was a semi-secret, free, open-to-all celebration of springtime, art, music, and dancing. I wasn't sure what to expect and knew that it could be crowded and unpredictable, but I went to check it out anyway, and ended up having a fabulous time.

We gathered at 6:30 pm in a small park not far from my house. The gathering didn't have a permit, and was "secret" yet fairly easy to find out about, so the police arrived within minutes. We streamed for the subway.
