Gage Spex Oral History

Gage Spex discusses growing up in Western Massachusetts, where, at a young age, they fell in love with fashion through older movies, like those of Judy Garland. Gage later moved to San Francisco to attend art school, eventually settling in NYC. Gage became heavily involved with the nightlife scene, opening venues like Dreamhouse and Spectrum. Gage also describes coming to terms with the fluidity of her gender, dealing with safety in the queer party scene, and his move away from venue-centered parties.
