The DJ, promoter, and drag performer Michael Formika Jones (aka Misstress Formika, pictured) is starting a new party with three floors, called After Dark. In case you didn’t know Michael has been around the block a couple of hundred times — he even performed and starred in a movie with Rupaul — so we know he can teach us a few things about New York nightlife. As he explained in his email to us “I was approached by the venue The DL to create a multi media event on Wednesday nights...I hired a diverse group of NYC nightlife stars from all  areas of the city and beyond.” This Wednesday that includes DJs Cazwell, Kindbud, Jeff Chatterton and Matty Gliteratti. The hosts are: the queen of puss Amanda Lepore, Celso Satori, Andrew Robert Simon, Digna Shei, Joseph Navedo, Trey LaTrash, Tyler Tyler, Tyler Stone, Yusef Xtravaganza, Cher Noble and Thang. Videos by Rhonny Tulfino and a Photo booth with Photographer Jonathan Saldana. Also, they’ll have “the After Dark boutique which will feature local designers selling their couture.” In case you get drungry (drunk+hungry) the ground floor has a late night kitchen serving food till 2:00AM. 1 hour open bar at 10:00PM. It sounds major!  —Abi
