The weirdest thing that’s ever happened during a show: One time I was DJing at a PS1 show in New York. They are outdoor shows, and there was over a thousand people there.

I see a crowd forming a circle around someone, and then I see that this woman has taken off all her clothes and is dancing maniacally, naked.
