*** See everyone tonight! ***

UPDATE #4: Remember to TIP YOUR BARTENDERS! We have recruited 2 phenomenal bartenders, who could be working elsewhere tonight, so please make sure you show your appreciation! Looking forward to what should be a great Halloween night! =)

UPDATE #3: Starting tomorrow Thurs. Oct. 30th, to be fair to those who want to join in and are ready to make payment, I'll be unrsvp'ing those that haven't paid. So make payment to *truly* lock in your spot... and since we're approaching full capacity, for any new rsvp's, please make payment immediately.

UPDATE #2: I just got off the phone with the owner, and apparently they have another room adjacent to and connected to the first room (which they normally do *not* rent out)... but they are making it available for our group (only)! Another 75 spots are available, so if you weren't able to join us earlier because spots were filled, come join us now!

UPDATE #1: Don't forget, early bird pricing ends this Friday, October 24th!

Okay my kiddies, it's time. I don't know about you, but Halloweeeen is my faaaaavorite time of year! So let's all pick out our scariest, sexiest, funniest, craziest costumes, and mix / mingle together for some fun, dancing, drinks, and spooky times, what say you?

I've rented out a little spot for us Halloween night (9:30pm - 2am), October 31st... on the third floor. The steps are creaky, and I've heard the place is haunted (ok not really, but it added to the writeup, didn't it?).

... and did I mention, we'll have open bar (cocktails, beers, and wine) *all* night, with Halloween goodies, candies, and treats! Ages 21+ only.

Oh, we'll also have our own DJ spinning lively Halloween beats to get you dancing!

As usual, I encourage everyone to have a goal of scaring, er I mean, meeting 3 new people... and 20s & 30s Rockstars, please help make all the newcomers feel welcome to our group!

Secure your slot by rsvp'ing yes *and* making payment! So spread the word, come on out, and let's have a great night of Halloween dancing, drinks, and fun! =)

Since Jared and I paid in advance for this charter, and since there are limited spots, all sales are final. If you can't make it, we'll help you find a replacement. Hopefully you understand we can't have people cancelling and requesting a refund, when that spot could have been filled by others. Thanks for understanding. =)

You must be of legal drinking age to attend this event. We are committed to responsible drinking, so for you own safety and others, please don’t drink and drive. Drinking any amount of alcohol can impair your ability to drive, and DC has *strict* laws regulating drinking and driving. Know your limits!! Designate a driver before going out, or call a cab, or take the Metro. =)

    Nacho, thanks for your feedback as well. Tho it would have been more helpful had you let me known beforehand that you were ok with rum & sprites (when I originally posed the question to the group below). The only feedback I got was from Kristin, who said to go with gingerale... which is what I did.

    Andy, thanks for your feedback... it's well taken. Tho I'm not sure what you mean by "relatively unimpressive turnout"... 209 out of 230 who paid, came out, or 90%!

    that's a bummer about the coke... ginger ale is a good substitute mixer though! and on that note, are the liquors going to be all rail types, or will you have some top shelf stuff? (ie crown royal, jack daniels...)

    This place disallows dark colored beverages, such as red wine and coke... so we'll have to use sprite as a replacement soda mixer for coke. Question to the group... normally, people mix coke with rum. So for those rum & coke drinkers... since we won't have coke, would you drink a rum & sprite (or some other mixer) instead? (We'll of course have other liquor and mixer options available... vodka, gin, sprite, diet sprite, cranberry, OJ, tonic, etc.)

Who attended?

  • 234 attendees
    •  Loved the venue! It was a great party, which was more like a house party. 
    •  I drinks, music and people were all great. I like the separate art gallery where you can actually have a conversation instead of trying to yell over the music. 
    •  Awesome party, the organizers did a great job! 
    •  Had a great time... Would have liked to have known more about the drinks the bartender was preparing. I was asking him a question and he was steadily forcing us to take pre-made Vodka and Cranberry drinks....As a result of this, I did not revisit the open bar, but I did enjoy the music and social scene.

       Great job JT! Great venue, great people! I will make sure I say hi at every event now:) 
    • 20s & 30s Rockstar
       Lot's of fun! Met many interesting "characters"! :) More beer would have been nice since the rest of the booze was rail/house.

       The drinks were not that great, but overall I had a great time and saw a few friends. 
    • Sherry (+2 guests)
       Good times! 
    • 20s & 30s Rockstar
       Started slow, but had a good number of attendees as the night wore on! 
    • Rob
       It was great to have the space to ourselves. Obviously more beer would've been nice. Good music! Fun time! 
    •  Good times and very creative costumes! 
    • 20s & 30s Allstar!
       I had a great time at the party and it was awesome seeing everyone in their costumes! Just wasn't crazy about the rail vodka (was that paint thinner? UGH) but other than that this event was stellar! 
    • 20s & 30s Organizer!
       It was awesome meeting some really great people!! I loved seeing everyone's costumes. 
    • Lou
      Mr Funny :)
       fun as always, have no idea why some left so early 
    • Ragesh (+3 guests)
       cool. pretty well organized. great people. 
    •  nice party and location.... DJ could have been better. 
    • Lin (+12 guests)
      20s & 30s Allstar
       fun! 
    •  The music could have been better. I was expecting more of a Halloween theme with the music..... more than simply playing "Thriller" twice. 
    •  Needed more organization on the open bar and more selections. You maybe better off to go with a cash bar.
