Jimothy is leaving the internet behind and landing on a dancefloor in Denver.Ad 0:00 Click for sound 0:00 / 0:00 A Jimothy-themed rave is set for August 29th at Milk in Denver, bringing the viral raccoon’s internet mythology into one of the city’s most fittingly oddball nightlife rooms.
Organized by local promoter CoClubs, the event runs from 9pm to 2am and features RUDA & Friends behind the decks.Tickets are $7, a price point the announcement makes sure to emphasize.
For anyone not deep enough in the meme trenches to know him by name, Jimothy is a wild raccoon from Seattle who became an unlikely internet folk hero in July after videos of his unusual shape and gait spread across social media.His compact, hunched silhouette has widely been attributed to an an extremely rare congenital defect called short spine syndrome.
Rave communities have always had a playful streak, and the internet has only accelerated the speed at which a shared joke can become a real room full of people dancing to techno and house music.In this case, the mascot just happens to be a short-spined raccoon with enough charisma to headline by proxy.
Milk also makes sense as the setting.The multi-room underground club in Denver’s SoCo nightlife district regularly leans into alternative dance culture and themed events.
Featuring checkered walls and quirky decor, the venue is directly inspired by the Korova Milk Bar from A Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 1971 dystopian film.Organized by local promoter CoClubs, the ‘Jimothy Rave’ runs from 9pm to 2am and tickets are $7.
RUDA, the event’s headlining DJ, describes his sound as spanning electro, tech house and “real dance energy.” You can buy tickets here.Scroll to continue more from edm Intimate Boat Rave Planned for Ibiza’s First Total Solar Eclipse in 121 Years...
