1920s SPEAKEASY PARTY
Start your New Years Eve in the fashion of the Roaring 20s! Make like Boardwalk Empire’s glamorous Nuckie Thompson as you sway to the beat of ragtime and popular 20’s music. Sip on cocktails from through the liquor glass. Dress up as your favorite silent film star, gangster, flapper or just formal attire.

THE PRETTINESS
The Prettiness is a musical collaboration
between electronic experimenters Joe Jeffers of Harold Arts and Michael Perkins.
