HEADS KNOW is a safe space—especially for women, queer and trans folk, disabled people, and people of color. To make sure of this, we don’t tolerate any sexism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, or discrimination of any kind.

We’re here to build community, but that comes with trust. This means consent isn’t just sexy, it’s necessary. Unwelcome touching or leering is unacceptable.

The above behavior will result in removal from the party. If you notice or experience it, let Arielle or any of the venue staff know right away.

Other things that will make the night better for all of us:

Trust the DJ. The lineup was carefully curated with the utmost intention. Let them do their jobs. No requests.

Wear earplugs. Ear production is recommended for prolonged sound exposure above 85 decibels to avoid hearing loss—music at clubs can go upwards of 100 dBA or more. Ask the bar for earplugs if you didn’t bring any.

Tip your bartender. They’re working hard to keep you hydrated all night long.

Use the dancefloor for dancing. Try keeping the conversations and phone usage to a minimum, and even try facing away from the DJ booth. The dancefloor is sacred, communal grounds meant to provide a space for us to connect with the music and each other. (Again: If you don’t know anyone, be sure to introduce yourself and ask to join in before invading someone’s space.)
