    +The most honest thing I can say about SLIST is that I never wanted to throw events. I wanted to make flyers and book people. The events were forced by the trajectory, not chosen.

    +## The actual origin
    +
    +I started raving in early 2021. I was looking for parties during the pandemic and a friend invited me to a rave in Brooklyn. A few months later I went to Mexico during lockdowns, and despite sticking out as a tourist who could not speak Spanish, I was regularly invited out to afters by DJs. I wanted to give back by helping them with promotion, so I started SLIST as an anonymous blog for recommending events.
