Date: October 2nd 2015

Hello lovelies,

We are beyond excited to announce the Halloween venue we've been keeping under wraps: Livestream Public, aka the former Third Ward. A word about that special place, if you don't know it: it was a surreal arts wonderland: a warren of studios and open spaces where everything from printmaking to laser cutting was explored. Also, there were parties. Legendary parties, with thousands in the street, and the huge building filled with music, spectacle, fire, and pure lawless magic. Halloween will mark our (and many of our collaborators from those years) first return to 195 Morgan with this kind of public event in two years. It may not ever happen again. And more secret magic is waiting to be announced in the coming weeks.

This event WILL sell out. Buy your tickets now (also, while they're $20).

In the meantime, two special events are coming up at our loft: - Tuesday, Oct 13, a kick-off party for the legendary HONK NYC! brass band fest: https://www.facebook.com/events/1489951421300693 - Friday, Oct 16, an afterparty for the opening of Gowanus Open Studios / Beat Night Gowanus. More info TK next week, but general Beat Night info here: http://nortemaar.org/projects/beat-nite-gowanus

Halloween Saturday, Oct 31, 9pm-4am, $20* Tier 1 / $25* Tier 2 / $30* Tier 3 & door / $15 after 1am, 21+ (25+ recommended) Livestream Public (former 3rd Ward), 195 Morgan Ave, Bushwick, BK Official site & details: http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html Tickets now on sale: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/280784 FB: https://www.facebook.com/events/1689186357981992/ Social media: @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: Kazoo-driven Italian gypsy rock with Philadelphia's The Late Saints. Demonic dance floor by DJs Joro Boro & Reaganomics. Frighteningly accurate fortunes told by practitioners of the occult arts. Jorogumo Spider-Demon Web Lounge (and party-wide installation) by Jaclyn Atkinson. Absinthe and other mind-altering potions by The House of St Eve (yes, t.h.o.s.e. cocktails…).

A word about our venue: some years ago, there was a surreal arts wonderland called 3rd Ward, a warren of studios and open spaces where everything from printmaking to laser cutting was explored. Also, there were parties. Legendary parties, with thousands in the street, and the huge building filled with music, spectacle, fire, and pure lawless magic. Halloween will mark our (and many of our collaborators from those years) first return to 195 Morgan with this kind of public event in two years. It may not ever happen again.

*An additional $30 gets you a commemorative Masquerade Macabre hip flask engraved with the monster hybrid Victorian couple from the event flyer. The engraving is vintage-style blind etching, not the modern black laser. We like it classy. Flask pic: http://bit.ly/GS_flask

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.
