Just want to add on that Blue Moon does “Steel Carabiner” night every 1st & 3rd Thursday which is a lesbian/dyke/sapphic night!

If you’re looking for a more chill DJ night, maybe check out Sweet Abyss at Mixtape on Sat April 8? I saw Nishkosheh play at Honcho Campout and they were incredible! It will be earlier in the night and much more chill space/vibes than Hot Mass. Their insta is sweetabyss412

And oop - looks like the ticketing system is live! On Saturday I was able to buy a cash ticket at the door, didn’t realize it was up and running already :)

As far as your question about whether or not Hot Mass is worth it - I would check out the DJs that will be playing the night you’re here and see if it’s your vibe. The crowd and overall vibe can be quite different depending on whose night it is and what DJs are playing. There are people who show up earlier (11-midnight) but it typically doesn’t fill up until 2am and beyond. The party goes late (anywhere from 4:30-6am), they bring in incredible talent, and all the resident DJs are great as well so imo it’s worth it :)

FYI, Hot Mass is currently in the middle of switching their ticketing platform so right now they are actually cash only at the door. Follow their Instagram for the most up to date info re: tickets. Also you have not needed a password for quite some time now, you just buy a ticket online (or rn while they’re waiting for the new ticketing system to go live - just show up, show your ID to the bouncer, then walk upstairs and buy your ticket).
