The Nightlife Conference

Yes, you read that correctly. MAD Museum is hosting a weekend of talks centered on the social practice of NYC nightlife, Nov. 8-10.


Among the panels to choose from are:
-You Deserve a Drink Ticket! The Art of Hosting
-States of Excess and Undress: Fashion, Performance, and Taboo in Nightlife

But some actually have seem to have some meat to them, like:
-What Ever Happened to Flyers? Nightlife Post-Internet
Which will explore how the virtual social space of the Internet alters the physical architecture of nightlife venues, among other things.

Patricia Field kicks things off with the keynote speech—on Friday night, of course.
