Inside An Illegal Party In An Abandoned Subway Station Deep Under NYC

062413ghosts.jpg...we'd be illegally entering a space dubbed the "Echo Vault, a temporary memory chamber dedicated to sonic experimentation and uncontrolled dance." I was told to bring a candle, a flashlight, and $20 "for the performers."

Other instructions from the "Echo Vault staff": To remind you, this is an event with some legal and physical risks. If you are uncomfortable with these risks you should not attend. Really. Once the event begins you cannot leave for two hours. Also, there are no bathrooms.
On Friday, please follow the instructions of all staff. You will be able to identify staff by the flowers on their lapels. When a staff member tells you to do something, even if it is weird or inconvenient, do it, do it, do it.
This is a private event. Cameras are not allowed. Cell phones must be turned off. Please do not blog or post about the event or its location before or after the event. There will be professional photographers whose images will be available afterward.
