on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26th . . .
you are cordially
invited to a darkly elegant
soirée on a most unusual night; the
night when the veils between the worlds are
at their thinnest . . . just before all hallow's eve and
the day of the dead. join us, as we step into a world that
hovers between this one and the next. the soirée will take place
in a spot known the world over to mystics and mediums, as a home
to spirits who travel between times. both the living and dead converge
at this spot on the same night every year, to celebrate life on both sides,
with a festive supernatural soirée. come dance to 1920's hot jazz, drink
classic cocktails and watch performances from otherworldly souls who
have come to play during this brief time every year. don your most
glamorous attire for this jazz age romp with the dead. please
note that as you pass through the doorways of the soirée,
you will be leaving the present world behind. please
note that you may not quite be able to tell if
your fellow guests are from this
world or from another . . .
