Scissor Sisters and Lauren Flax Spin in Space Tonight

Amazing DJ sets and dancing in an enormous space that feels as though you've jumped straight out of a rocketship and settled in gravity-less land? Without a space suit, much less? Sounds trippy and unreal, which is what this event will likely turn out to be. The Fader is hosting tonight's One Step Beyond party in The Rose Center of the American Museum of Natural History, featuring the garage-electro Scissor Sisters and distinguished remixer Lauren Flax and the Activaire DJs. The whole party-in-a-museum-without-drinks thing may turn some people off, but be assured, partying in the dark beneath a bunch of replicate planets to great house is bound to be more fun than you think...and definitely more fun than staring at your reflection in your mug at a dreary bar. Tickets are only $25 - you can buy them in advance here.

American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West @ 79th St., (212) 769-5100
