The fact that they didn’t have mobile phones to entertain themselves and he was uncertain of the time of the day. They all soaked in each other’s shared presence, the vibrant and the silent moments, and it was normal not awkward. So engagingly beautiful.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I was 2 years old in 1988, but I can still remember the early/mid-90s and how we interacted with each other. Everyone was always PRESENT and since there were no mobile phones, no one could escape or retreat into some app to avoid each other's gaze/presence. Truly wonderful, I'm glad I could at least enjoy my childhood and youth without smartphones. There's just no real depth to most relationships nowadays it seems. People have been zombified by technology.

For anyone interested, the bonus features of Party Monster: The Shockumentary show some extended footage from this day (along with a lot more that you won't see on youtube), including the full ride on the Wonder Wheel; you see everyone sharing a joint at the top of the ride, having a good time when the ride's in motion then going still and quiet whenever they reach the ground level (someone jokes: "does anybody smell marijuana?"). Nelson laments that the joint runs out too quickly and asks someone to light another one, but they only brought the one on the ride.

I edited a number of his tapes, including this one, for an exhibition in the early '00s at Gavin Brown's Enterprise, an art gallery in NYC. Some were more difficult than others, but this one required very little to be done. Nelson had a finished video planned in his mind, I think. You can see that he would run ahead so that he could get shots of them walking into frame, etc. Just brilliant. -Steve Lafreniere

@@xtympsHi! Apologize if I came across "terse", but as a kid(I'm 42 years old), born and raised in Brooklyn, Coney Island has changed quite a bit. To give perspective, I remember they days where you could lie UNDER the boardwalk, to shelter you from the hot sun. Also, although I was young, I remember the old Spanish men selling "cerveza" from there coolers on the sand. And the rides? Wow, call them basic, but boy were they fun! Now, to get a wristband from Luna Park is around $50! Not to mention the price of concessions; I bought a slice of plain pizza on the boardwalk and it was about $6 (2019, pre Covid-19). The water doesn't even have any seashells anymore! And now, BBQs are prohibited on the beach and to go "metal" detecting or hosting a party, you need a fucking permit! 😑 The 80's, yes they were rough, but there was a certain freedom, an air of "joie de vivre", if you will, that can never replaced or replicated.

It was a sense of being OK; survival. The competition in NYC now is fierce, disgusting. So many variables working AGAINST you. Tired of seeing transplants living the "life" here, whereas a native "New Yawker" won't get that good job, or beautiful apartment; although they've earned the same degree.

Phill Greenland on one of these posted videos of Nelson’s, Trades sister answered someone asking about him and she gave his real name and there was some more recent video of him playing with one of his little nephews in the yard. He looked so different (as we all do now...)

I must track the comment down now. Would love to see how he turned out. I also wonder if Nelson would still be apart of Rupauls life and apart of his camera crew if he were alive today. 😢

it's funny when nelson talks about people being annoyed by him constantly filmimg them, yet now this footage is priceless. funny how perspective changes over time. also funny how southern nelson gets at the end of the video. also, The Zipper is an abomination of a ride.

I'd have luv'd ti have been around back then, I'm pretty sure I'd b just the rite amount of kooky/outthere to b part of their crowd/group!!! Altho seemingly quite chaotic it was really sweet to see such a ragtag bunch of sum mite say misfits an oddballs, showin real family viewing, u could really tell that they all loved one another truly, an that they were tru friendships, altho not anywhere near as fabulous or awesome, I too rely heavily on my friends as my family, we're quite a similar bunch of "ragtag misfits an oddballs" an I couldn't nor wouldn't ask not want for anythin more! I'm literally obsessed with this channel an all its subjects since I literally stumbled across a vid a cppl days ago an haven't looked back since!!!
