What is it like to go to House of Yes?
I have never had a bad time at House of Yes and would recommend it to people who are open minded and like to have a good time. Before you even enter you have a consent talk, which I absolutely love. A great place to just be free. Full of Bohemian minded folks who want to let loose with no judgments.

The place is hard to miss. The space, opened on New Year's Eve 2015, used to be a laundromat. House of Yes raised the ceilings and added all the lighting, sound, and theatre equipment you could imagine

HoY grew out of NYC's Do-It-Yourself and Burning Man scenes, starting in a rundown loft in 2007 before moving to a warehouse a year later. The warehouse closed in 2014 due to rising rents. A year later they partnered with artists and nightlife veterans Justin Ahiyon and Ilan Telmont to launch the Bushwick space

When we got there, they were preparing for that night's Ancient Aliens party. The venue has events nearly every night, all with different themes
The big dance parties are on Fridays and Saturdays, but they have burlesque and cabaret shows, poetry nights, and then events that are kind of hard to explain like Foreplay, a show of "emotionally and physically intimate acts" where the lines between performer and audience get blurred.
HoY aims to be a place where "people truly connect, be themselves, express themselves," Burke said. The themes, costumes, and "disorienting" weirdness are a huge part of breaking down barriers so its "easy to make new friends," she said

Each night, "the club puts on costumes too," Burke said. In the timelapse below, you can see just how many events and "costume changes" the space goes through in two days

Costumes can be intimidating, so Burke and Sapozhnikova put together inspiration boards to "visually communicate" the theme. But they love when people come with their own ideas. This is the Ancient Aliens board

With Burke and Sapozhnikova's advice that "putting in the effort results in a better time," we headed to a costume shop to brainstorm some ideas
Following the general idea of glow-in-the-dark ancient civilizations with a lot of glittery things, we picked up: glow sticks, glow in the dark hair spray, black light make-up, finger lights, a silver cape, a weird mask, and an Egyptian head-dress. Total cost: approximately $40.
