    Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

    "A play party,  especially [at] Top Floor, we level that up because it's about connection. It's about freedom, it's about trying out whatever you want. It's about individual journeys through the night.”

    “One of the factors I consider a successful [night at Top Floor], one of the measures is when people come to me afterwards and say ‘I had a life changing experience’ and that happens pretty much every party.”

    “One of the things that differentiates our party, I think from almost all play parties, is we do not ever have performances. We never separate anyone from audience to performer because that isn't great for the vibe. Everyone's a performer, everyone's participating.”
