Westgay at Westway, NYC, USA (with Big Dipper)

Remember the days when you'd put on your fanciest/glitter-iest/sluttiest outfit and then.... catch public transport to the club? Big Dipper, rapper and podcaster extraordinaire, sure does. Before moving to his current home in LA he lived for a few years in New York City, where he cut his teeth performing at Westgay, a queer night hosted by the influential Frankie Sharp at a bar called Westway (see what they did there?) every Tuesday night from 2012 to 2015. We talked about waiting in line even when your name is on the guest list, avoiding fluids so you don't have to deal with the club toilets, and the magical feeling of leaving the club when the sun is rising. Make sure you listen to Big Dipper's podcast Sloppy Seconds, and follow him on Instagram and Twitter - @bigdipperjelly
