DJ Lina of Fire Island’s Twirlina revealed that the 2015 season would be her last as she’s moving on to a new chapter in her life. I sat down with Lina to reflect on her amazing run in the Pines and to find out what she’s going to do next. Lina’s vibe electric and love filled parties have been a savior to the Pines through some of the most turbulent times helping maintain the scene like a griffin through both devastating fires and political gaffes by some of the nightlife property owners.
As an end-of-summer celebration, First Person host, Kristin Russo, talks with Fire Island’s DJ Lina and looks at Fire Island Pines as a historically gay getaway destination as well as DJ Lina’s vital role in revitalizing Fire Island’s party scene and keeping it alive through the years.
