On the night of May 20, a group of Wu fans gathered at New York City's Hit Factory.

Last night, an eclectic group of fans gathered for the Wu-Tang Parental Advisory Listening Party - Mixtape Vol. 1 at the legendary Hit Factory. Inside the smoke-filled venue, guests were served Avion Tequila cocktails and empandas.

The decor included a huge Wu-Tang banner and a carved pineapple donning the Wu-Tang logo upon a grand piano. Here are some of the awesome Wu fans that we had the pleasure of chatting with. All words and images by Laura Jane Kirsch.
