Saturday Night’s At Zoom’s Hottest Online Club – Mildly Wet
If you weren’t at Mildly Wet’s Saturday night Zoom party, you missed everything from Tiger King virtual backgrounds, memes, dance offs from our queer community to people holding sombreros while lip syncing, fisting the air while wearing face-masks and riding bicycles while dancing (we love a man who multitasks).
Someone asks “where’s the after-party” while another clubber messages “I hope this never ends”. What draws the crowd in? The absolute humour of seeing people holding up bottles of vodka, guitars, or [insert strange prop] while dancing and singing in their bedrooms. The club runs every Saturday night for free and is attended by people of numerous ages streaming in pairs or by themselves in apartments around the world – from Sydney to Bangkok.
Mildly Wet’s club runs every Saturday night 9pm AEDT until further notice, with more dates and events to be added due to the popularity. You can sign up on Eventbrite and follow them on Instagram.
