BYOB
VENUE //// Venue address TBA. We’ve found a GREAT new venue you definitely haven’t partied at before. The address will be announced in an email to ticket holders a few days before the event. This venue is fully wheelchair accessible.
PLAY SPACE + CLOTHES CHECK //// There will be a play space off to the side of the dance floor, FYI
TICKETS + DONATIONS //// A batch of “Early Bird” tickets are available at $25 then the rest are “General Admission” just slightly more at $30. We are also adding an option to DONATE to Junk Drawer on the ticket page.
We bust our butts off to make this party happen and believe it or not we barely squeak by EVERY TIME. This is because we INSIST on keeping our party affordable and accessible AND we believe in paying our DJs and visual artists as well as we can . This means that our profit is miniscule .
If you believe in what we are doing with this party and you can afford to put a little more money toward our efforts, we’d like, really love you for it.
