"If I Get Interrupted On A Dance Floor I Am Upset" - with Digo and Caleb from the Ants Humans Stars Podcast

Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

You know how they say that no matter who you fall in love with during the course of your life you'll always compare everyone to your first true love?

Well, I think that's also true of nightclubs.

Which I know sounds a little wacky, but I wholeheartedly believe that there's something really magical about your first place.

This week I sat down with Digo and Caleb from the podcast Ants Humans Stars to find out about Digo's lost space, Mars Bar, which was in Richmond, Virginia.

You can quickly see why he loved this place.- it was one of those dive bars that had an especially cheesy 80s night every week.

And, it came at just the right time in his life - he'd just dropped out of college, fled to the nearest city, and was trying to fall in love (or, as he puts it, he was chasing D)...

I loved this conversation because of the reminder of the importance and pull of the dancefloor.

Do you have any memories of Mars Bar, or clubbing from your own scene that you want to share?
