I think we can file this one under “Awful, Useless Things To Come Out Of Williamsburg” along with hipsters, entitlement, and Lena Dunham’s “Girls.”
Apparently there’s a new trend that’s sweeping, well, Brooklyn, called “Daybreaker.” It’s an early morning Dance Party/Rave complete with loud, banging dance music, yoga, juice, live bands, flashing, colorful lights, but NO ALCOHOL OR MIND-ALTERING DRUGS, they swear!
According to Business Insider, “Founders Matt Brimer and Radha Agrawal created a 100% sober rave, where the only thing people get high on is life. They say, ‘it is about love, it is about mindfulness and it is about mischief.'”
If you want to attend one of these parties, you can find them on the web at dykbrkr.com or on instagram at dybrkr because vowels are SO totally uncool.
Or, instead of paying $25 to go to a completely dry party before you go to work ($35 if you want to take Yoga), put that extra $25 in an investment account. Do that once a week and you’ll have a future. Do THIS once a week and you won’t be able to feed yourself, nor will you be able to hear because of all the loud, shitty music.
If you’re interested in dudes in suits writing you Haikus on typewriters, or partying with that something that looks like a feminine hygiene product, this event is for you. Here’s to hoping your boss won’t make you go to one of these any time soon. God speed, cubicle warriors. The world is against us.

Raves without psychedelic amphetamines? What am I, some kind of EDM Luddite? “Hey let’s get up at 6 AM, eat, take no drugs whatsoever, and dance our asses off to EDM selected by people who though this was a good idea”, said no raver ever.
JayTas, you’re good people, but Astoria is the Williamsburg of Queens.
