    +SLIST started because two women in Mexico City wouldn’t put me on their guest list.
    +
    +That’s one version. Here’s another: I started it because some kids banned me from a 30-person group chat in January 2023 and I decided to build the biggest rave community in CDMX out of spite. Here’s a third: I discovered techno at a basement rave in Brooklyn during the March 2021 lockdowns, moved to Mexico a few months later as a tourist who couldn’t speak Spanish, and started an anonymous flyer blog because I wanted to get on every guest list in the city.
