4 Reasons You Should Try A Silent Disco

If you've never tried a silent disco before or aren't quite sure what one is...here are four reasons you should definitely check it out:

First, I'll give you a quick overview of what a silent disco is. Basically, it's where there is a live Dj or multiple Dj's spinning their music, but instead of it being played loudly in the room, the music goes to wireless headphones that the attendees are wearing. If there are multiple DJ's, you get to choose which one you want to tune into and you can toggle between the options. I just went to my first silent disco this weekend at a party called Skylab in Denver. It. was. awesome.

Here are the four reasons I think everyone should try a silent disco:

1. Your Hearing Won't Get Destroyed

This is what I noticed right off the bat and loved! I'm 29 and I've been to a party or two in my lifetime. I can't do the extremely loud music anymore, or at least I can never stand at the front near the speakers. My poor ears just can't handle it! I loved that at the silent disco the sound is adjustable so you can still get your groove on without killing your eardrums. Another added benefit is that your vocal chords won't get destroyed either. If you wanna say something to your friend, all you have to do is take off your headphones and speak normally. No more yelling!

2. You Get to Choose

At a silent disco, there are typically 2-3 options to choose from! So if you're not feeling the current option that you're hearing, you can switch to another DJ or station! I loved being able to switch to a different genre without having to the leave the room. Now, you and your friends who all might have different tastes in music can all still dance together!

3. You're in a Judgement-Free Zone

If the people next to you are on a different channel, then they're not going to know what YOUR music sounds like! I mean, I try to dance like no one is watching, but let's face it, we're all thinking in the back of our head about what the guy or gal next to us thinks about our dance moves.

4. It's Just FUN

Unique experiences always bring people together. Sure, you can dance to your own music at home with headphones on, but this is a reason to get out there and makes some new friends while you're at it. At Skylab, I found it very fun to go up to a group of people who had the same color headphones as I was I rocking. I knew that they were getting down to the same music!

If you ever have the opportunity, I hope you try it out! I looked online and didn't find an upcoming event in Denver to share with you but I have a feeling they'll be popping up all over the place. I just attended Denver Start Up Week last week and they even had one at their opening party at Denver Union Station! I did find a local company here called Silent Events. So if you're interested in throwing a silent disco (which is just perfect for non-traditional spaces or places with noise constraints or crabby neighbors) be sure to contact them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
