🎃 HALLOWEEN PARTY AT EMIL’S.

We know you people. You don’t need much of an excuse to get weird. But here’s one anyway.

Costume contests. Jello shots. And $200 CASH for the best group costume. Plus gift cards for other categories, so your solo nonsense could pay off, too.

Get your friends together. Make a plan. Change it twelve times. Show up looking ridiculous.

Can't wait to see what you come up with on Saturday! (mostly)
