Video: Inside a 1989 “Outlaw Party” in a Times Square McDonalds
Now, 26 years later, one hour of original footage of this night of debauchery has been uploaded to YouTube and brought to our attention by Gothamist. It follows a face-painted, glittery crowd through the golden arches and into the classy fast food joint (why did McDonalds get rid of their potted plants?), where they set up a stereo and gorge on fries and drugs until the cops inevitably show up. It was shot by one Nelson Sullivan, resident documentarian of Michael Alig’s party scene, with a fisheye lens for a down-the-rabbit-hole vibe.
