Date: October 22nd 2014

Hello lovelies,

Here it is, the full Masquerade Macabre info, complete with location and updated hours. We'll be at the brand new Light Space loft, just three blocks from the Jefferson L train stop. Please note that we've shifted the doors opening to 8pm. That gives you an hour to get through the door/coatcheck/bar lines and be ready to dance with our first band at 9pm.

As we hinted in the previous email, part of the reason for secrecy was capacity. We'll definitely be full, so while we always reserve some tickets for the door, we highly recommend presales.

Cheers,

Gemini & Scorpio makers of themed costume events with live entertainment http://www.geminiandscorpio.com

Sixth Annual Masquerade Macabre

Saturday, Oct 25, 8pm-4am, $20* adv / $25* door / $15 after 12am, 21+ (25+ recommended) Light Space, 1115 Flushing Ave, 3 blocks from Jefferson stop on the L Official site & details: http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html Tickets now on sale: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/204213 FB: https://www.facebook.com/events/542002112610606/ Twitter: @gemini_scorpio / #MasqMacabre

A marvellous and mysterious event...a Halloween celebration of the extravagant and the grotesque...an all-night spectacle of atmosphere, costumery and diverse entertainments...an explosion of live music, dancing, circus arts, and late-night revelry, snake-charmed into an absinthe-fueled early-morning speakeasy.

Featuring live, 9pm-12am: back from over a year of touring his hit circus show LIMBO, circus composer Sxip Shirey with a handpicked Jank! band. French brass band Radio Kaizman, rocking their special blend of hip hop, New Orleans brass and Latin rhythms. Bloody burlesque by Minx Arcana. Demonic dance floor by G&S favorites Joro Boro and DJ Shakey 12am-3am, chilling out into lounge mode after for a smooth finish. Frighteningly accurate fortunes told by witchy mistress Marcy Currier. Absinthe and other mind-altering potions by The House of St Eve (yes, t.h.o.s.e. cocktails).

*An additional $30 gets you a commemorative Masquerade Macabre hip flask engraved with the monster hybrid Victorian couple from the event flyer.

Costumes required: Inspiration: macabre carnival, aberrations of nature, cabinet of curiosities, dark Victoriana, evil funhouse, steampunk, Jan Svankmaier & Brothers Quay films, Freaks, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Think dark & creepy. Or dark & funny. Or whatever your Halloween costume happens to be. But if we have to ask, it's not a costume.
