SSION in town is always a reason to rally the troops. Friday night, a crowd
with umbrellas (and plenty of cute guys in high heels) lined W. 16th
Street, waiting until nearly midnight for the doors of the Highline
Ballrooms to open. SSION's Cody Critcheloe
arranged for a stacked bill of openers (House of Ladosha, K-Holes,
Alexis Penney, Mykki Blanco), presented without interruption, who paved
the long path to SSSION's grand finale around
2:45am. It was worth the wait. Critcheloe is is a consummate
talent, equal parts creator and performer, and he does it all with
original, fascinating style. Between the visual elements, the music, and
the couple grinding against us from behind, it
was a true feast for the senses.
