Jean-Marc Chanoine
VP of sales, Hell’s Kitchen
Will you be here all night?
For six or seven hours. Good solid escape. But I’m a semi-adult. My wife is pregnant — I usually come to the Mirage with her — and I’m an executive at a tech company, so I have responsibilities and a regular old-fashioned day job.
Is this how you dress for work?
No. I’m not a founder. I can’t wear zebra-print robes and kilts around the World Trade Center all day. Though if I were, I would.

What brought you out?
It’s my birthday. I turned 35. Yesterday, my friends and I were all furiously texting one another: “Okay, the weather’s not changing, so we need to all go on Amazon right now and get one-day-delivery ponchos.”

What kind of people are here?
I’d love to see a more queer crowd. But people have walked up to me and said, “Sick look, man.” When the bros are walking up and saying you look sick, you’ve done some good in the world.
Scott Smith

Julio Galvez

Do you go out a lot?
I’ve been raving since I was 15 in Puerto Rico. I have a tattoo, “Carpe diem” — don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do today. I was engaged during the pandemic, and he passed away. So I’ve been healing.

What’s the plan tonight?
Well, we bought ’shrooms. We had them shipped from L.A., and someone had said, “You know, these are the best ’shrooms.” But nothing’s happening. That said, whoever planned the Martinez Brothers’ set meant we were fine. During the performance, a panel started moving and turning and twisting and projecting all these beautiful images. That was a game changer.

Do you work in nightlife?
I do harm reduction with DanceSafe, so I go to festivals to test people’s drugs for them. Also if, let’s say, someone is delirious, instead of them going to EMS, sometimes they feel safer being with us. We watch over them.
