Day XX of shelter in place – insert meme here. Some people are working out, some people are cooking, some people are staying in bed with the covers over them. All valid responses to this crisis is unlike we’ve experienced in recent history.

I make music and DJ. I produce events as 1/3 of Polyglamorous. Queer nightlife, and particularly the SF Bay Area queer nightlife scene is very important to me. When the COVID-19 pandemic changed the nightlife landscape overnight, I teamed up with other community and nightlife leaders to form the SF Bay Area Queer Nightlife Fund. The fund is designed to raise money for those who work in nightlife and have found their income severely impacted by the crisis. If you have the means and you care about the state of queer nightlife in the SF Bay Area, I ask that you donate.

My coping strategy during this crisis has been to stay busy. I’m grateful to have a job that allows me to work from home. Outside of that, when I’m not catching up with friends and family, nights and weekends are often spent working on the fund, and producing online events.

This time of shelter in place is forcing us all to develop creative solutions to stay connected, communicate, and enjoy each others’ company. I’m starting this site to share what I’m working on- both the outputs of the work I’m doing (online parties, DJ sets, original music) but also the “how”. I hope you find it useful!
