UPDATE: Update! Rubulad will NOT be held at Ridgewood’s Gottscheer Hall. But instead at the party is meeting at 269 Norman Ave between Kingsland and Monitor (L train to Graham ave +15 min walk or G train to Nassau +10 min walk).There directions will be shared to a super-secret loft two blocks away. Follow their Facebook events for updates. 

Oh, Rubulad. No matter how you change, no matter where you relocate, I will always love you. Your crazy costumes, the decorations that make me wonder if I’m still in New York, your strangely amazing venue choices, wild music, and a ton of happy people… One of the most iconic NYC underground parties of the last decade makes me also feel romantic, ’cause 4.5 years ago, I met a really cool guy at one of them. And married him last year! Anyhow, that was likely an anomaly of actually forming a lasting relationship at an event as insane as Rubulad. (But, I’d like to know seriously, if you met your significant other at Rubulad can you leave a comment?)

What I’m trying to say is that Rubulad is back and for the first time in its history, Rubulad will be held in Ridgewood’s legendary venue Gottscheer Beer Hall (I admit, I didn’t see that coming but it makes sense).”This 75-year old venue in the heart of Ridgewood features good vibes, multiple ballrooms and no scary bouncers or nightclub nonsense,” emailed us Rubulad representative, and we have to agree. Gottscheer Beer Hall is awesome, and Rubulad will surely gain an interesting Ridgewood vibe.
