Dance back to the early oughts

2000s themed dance party kicking off in Highlandtown.  From the promoters: “Remember the 2000s? Your rent was like $100 for a giant warehouse. Baltimore was drinking Sparks at the Talking Head and New York was making mistakes in the basement at MisShapes. The Bush administration was in the White House, but Daft Punk was playing in my house, in my house.”
