HIS/HERS FAKE PROM!
The Launch party for issue #3 and fundraiser for issue #4
Saturday, January 29th, 2005
The Grad Club
Featuring performances downstairs by The Radical Dudez, Whiskey Steve & The Steves and Tomate Potate. DJ Seez, DJ Lang and Siktransit will rock your body on the second floor.
Tickets are $5 in advance, available at the Grad Club or from His/Hers people, and $7 at the door.
We encourage everybody to dress up in the best/worst prom-style clothing they can beg, borrow or steal. Seriously, we might not let you in if you haven't at least made an effort.
We may or may not have participation ribbons for anyone caught crying in the bathroom; we're not sure yet if that fits into the budget.
We will for sure have PRIZES for BEST OUTFIT and a DANCE CONTEST.
Any questions? EMAIL!

Get ready to spend your Christmas money
