Happy Halloween everyone! Thought we'd share a few links to previews for tonight...

Star Tribune "This is the one Halloween party that never fails. What more is there to say?"

Vita.mn   "Anyone in lingerie with animal ears or sheets with eye-holes need not enter: First Ave’s annual Halloween bash is not for amateurs. Put some creativity into your disguise and prepare for the competitive costume contest worth more than $1,000 in cash prizes, including the prize for “most inappropriate”costume. Last year’s winners perfectly complimented the ’80s theme as a troop of Ghostbusters who looked fresh off the movie set. While this year’s theme had not been released (something political seems unavoidable), there is promise of a professionally choreographed dance number. Ian Rans of “Drinking With Ian” hosts, and DJ Soviet Panda will spin throughout the night. Revelers also get access to the VIP Room’s “Holla’ween” party with DJ Verbx and the 7th Street Entry’s “Monster Mash,” featuring 50s and 60s dance hits from DJs King Otto and Mike the 2600 King." 

City Pages  "Halloween thankfully falls on a Friday this year, so there are no worries if your zombie clown makeup stains your skin for the next few days. First Avenue's yearly bash is 18+ at 8 p.m. for $5-$10 to get in ($15 if you were a fool and failed to wear a costume). Ian from Drinking with Ian will be judging a costume contest; those adorned in the best Halloween threads stand to win $1,000 in prizes."
