So, I have something to admit. I have not been dancing in a really long time. And, when I say dancing I mean sweaty, throbbing, disgustingly sticky kind of dancing. And, I kind of miss it...

I got a nice reminder of how important it used to be in my life when I caught up with Alex Marcus, the Podcast Director of The Pop Break, a digital pop culture and entertainment online magazine, for this week's show.

Alex is from New Jersey, but made the move to New York City when he went to college in the mid-naughties, and this gave him an opportunity to spread his wings and explore his queerness a little more...

And what better place to do that than on the sweaty dancefloor of Splash nightclub, a sprawling two-floor gay bar in Manhattan that closed in 2013?

We talk all about the weird hobbies we adopt to 'pass' as straight, being the token gay, and what it's like to lose yourself in a crowd.

Do you have any memories of Splash, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!

You can also find me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lostspacespod), Instagram (www.instagram.com/lostspacespod) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/lostspacespod)
