Crow's Nest Dark Dance Party

07/03/2025

With a heavy heart, I’m announcing that Crow’s Nest is cancelled indefinitely.

I know this may come as a disappointment, and I wish there were a different way. Creating this space with you has meant the world to me. Every moment has been unforgettable.

Thank you for showing up, for making this more than just a night out. You built something beautiful, and I’ll never stop being grateful for that.

I’m so sorry. I hope one day we can gather again.

With love,
– Crow 🖤

Hello gang! So, small change, nothing major, but the August 14th show will start at 9:00-9:15, but that gives you an extra hour to look your best, and enjoy Byrdcage's wonderful menu! Don't drink on an empty stomach, that leads to terrible decisions and worse hang overs.

I recommend The Muscle Hustle and Bougie Bae, but that's just me. I'm sure you'll find what you like yourself!

We are so honored to be hosted by such a new but needed staple of the South Jersey Q***r community, Jason, Giulietta, and the entirety of the Byrdcage team are absolute angels. Congrats on hosting your first Pride event, I'm glad it was a major success, and may next year's blow this year's out of the water!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

ATLANTIC CITY — More than the typical 'Great Day' slogan of Atlantic City, Sunday was a gay day as members and allies of the local LGBTQ+ community donned colorful face

🦴🔥 CROW’S NEST: BIRTHDAY EDITION 🔥🦴
Thursday • August 14 • 8PM–1AM
📍 Byrdcage • Atlantic City
🎟️ $15 Online • $20 Door • 21+

⸻

It’s Préachán’s gods-damned birthday — and we’re summoning something bigger than cake.

This isn’t your average beach party. This is a ritual. A resurrection. A night of bone-rattling beats and sweaty, glitter-streaked freedom under the weight of the moon.

Come as you are, or as something unrecognizable. We’ll be dancing through the wreckage of summer with:

🎧 DJ Brad Scott – spinning the soundtrack to your beautiful undoing (emo • industrial • post-hardcore • goth)
🎤 Mamie Hades – live vocals to raise the dead
💃 Alexandra Ghoul & That Devil Woman – burlesque that bites
🔮 Tarot by Cailin Jerue – glimpse the abyss and flirt with fate

No rules but this:
Dress like death on vacation. Dance like you’re hexing your ex.
Let Atlantic City feel the full force of who we are.

⸻

🎂 Cake? Maybe.
💀 Vibes? Fatal.
🌊 Skeletons will be vibing in the surf.

🎟️ Ticket link drops soon. You’ll want to be there when the tide turns.

I am so sorry to announce this, but due to some unforeseen and personal circumstances, the July 17th Crow's Nest will be cancelled.

But as always, I don't come with only bad news: this gives me a chance to reset, and let you know that my Birthday Celebration on August 14th is going to be worth the wait. I have the DJ, I have the Dancers, and I have a surprise guest to serenade you all.

Come celebrate as I turn 29, go through a bit of existential dread that I'm in my 20's for only one more year, and dance the night away.

With love from Your Master of Ceremonies,

Préachán Caelleigh

You asked, we listened, and most importantly, we're coming back! Crow's Nest is coming back to Byrdcage!!

We have July 17th, a hot way to cool off with your favorite Corvids and dance the night away in the middle of summer, and come before the party to relax at Byrdcage's new Garden of Glam to enjoy some good food and strong drinks! You're going to need the fuel!

Then we have August 14th, a very special day as your Master of Ceremonies, your guide through the mystical, celebrates the 29th anniversary of materializing on this mortal coil. That's right, my goblins and ghoul! I, Préachán (Crow) Caelleigh, am choosing to celebrate my 29th trip around the sun with all of you! Let's make it a night we'll never remember with friends we'll never forget!

Oh. My. GODS! Last night was IMMACULATE! Thank you ALL for showing up! Last night was the best opening night we could ask for, and as we leave the nest behind for now, tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell anyone you can think of, and stay tuned! We'll see you at home- we'll see you at the next Crow's Nest!

If you got pictures and videos please share them with me!

Y'all. I just want to say thank you all for the support, as the time rapidly approaches for the first ever Crow's Nest, I never thought I'd do something like this, but here we! And this is the happiest I've been in literal years! I couldn't do it without you all, and let's have a fu***ng amazing Time! 💜💜

To quote The Wonder Years (yes I know they aren't goth let me have my moment): I came out swinging from a South Philly basement
Caked in stale b**r and sweat under half-lit fluorescents
And I spent the winter writing songs about getting better
And if I'm being honest, I'm getting there

With all the love in my heart,
Préachán
