Costume Party! Halloween in June!

Hello, all!
Okay, it's been way too long since I posted anything, much less a party. I had an idea that I thought might be a touch unique and figured it would be a great event.

Let's have a party! Not just any party, but a costume party. There's Christmas in July celebrations, why not Halloween in June? I figure, the weather's better for costumes, and Halloween's one of my favorite holidays, anyhow.

All this will go down at Matilda, a really great bar in Lakeview. They've given us their entire back room for the event, till 11 PM- then they have to open it to the public. To keep it "private" (they're treating this like a "fundraiser" party for meetup) we have to charge a cover. It'll be just $3 to get in, unless you're in costume! If you're in a costume (and that's up to the bouncer's discretion), then you get in for FREE!

We'll have drink discounts at the bar, lots of great music, and we'll have a Best Costume Contest around 10:30, with some fun prizes for everyone. Get dressed up and party, people!

I know, I know, where can I get a costume this time of year? Glad you asked. Aside from taking a look in your closet or hitting the thrift stores/dollar stores, here's a few places you can check out:

Ragstock
The Alley
Party City
Card and Party Giant
Chicago Costume Company
Beatnix
Uncle Fun

That's the story, everyone. Please feel free to promote this on your facebook, myspace, emails, whatever. The more, the merrier! See you there!
