It wouldn't be a party without our good friend JPEG2000! He'll be on hand to capture your costumed glory. We can't wait to see what you've put together, and if you don't want to wear a costume, that's okay too! The festivities get started tomorrow at 8:30 and go until 2am. We'll see you soon!

In case you weren't already excited about the costume contest, Antonia • GoreGirlArt has donated two goodie bags to the prize pool!
Halloween in July is this Saturday, the 18th at the Rose Bowl!
The costume contest kicks off after our first performer, shortly after 10pm.
We're keeping an eye on the weather and our fingers are crossed that we'll be able to keep the costume contest and performances outside, but if things get soggy, we'll have to head inside.
And next weekend, be sure you check out Afterlife.Exchange at Gallery Art Bar
