Combining his love for Brooklyn’s DIY warehouse party scene with his natural inclination towards wanderlust, Alex Kay created the party production collective, Unicorn Meat. Once a stockbroker on Wall Street, and always a rough traveller at heart, Alex feared not to dream big, and for this coming New Year’s Eve he prepared an event that is part spiritual experience- part the most amazing fantasy party you can think of- The Wander. Accompanied by world class DJs (Rusko, David Starfire, Skytree), and dreamy art installations to signify several iconic places on Earth (Amazonia, Costa Rica, Eiffel Tower and many more), the party is going down tomorrow at a warehouse off Morgan L stop, the exact location of which will be revealed tomorrow to the ticket holders. (They have still some tickets available for $60 and $110 (includes open bar from 12PM-3AM) and you can get them here).
I personally consider it mildly miraculous that we managed to catch Alex in the midst of preparation for what most definitely is one of the biggest parties in NYC of the year, to answer a couple of about a million questions we had. And what Alex told us was even better than we could have ever imagined. Read the fascinating story of a traveller, dreamer and a party promoter…
BD: Can you tell us a little bit about your background and how that played a role when creating Unicorn Meat?
