I can hardly breathe right now...




Alex and I, Night Panda, have been asked to be THE entertainment for the Moxie's Halloween party, Zombiefest, next Friday, October 31st!!!

Now, I want to give you an idea of how insane this is: Alex and I have met up with the promoter of all Moxie's events, Chad, on Monday once already to introduce ourselves and find out about the event, but I met up with him yet again tonight to talk logistics, and here's what I have in my hand right now:

I got Chad really excited by telling him what kind of parties we like to throw and the costumes we wear and the lights and effects we bring and the music we play, and he has given me essentially 100% creative free reign on the night! I told him that between Alex and I, we are actually going to invite absolutely everyone we know, and of course that only made him more excited, SO -

For the night of Friday October 31st, Alex and I are going to be throwing the most immense party we've ever attempted, rivaling the legend of Flowatholon (scroll below if you don't know what I'm referring to). I will tell you everything we are going to have at this party next Friday:

- We, the DJs, our ridiculous costumes, and our even more ridiculous music
- Lights. LOTS of lights. Black lights, red lights, strobe lights, flood lights (industrial strength. Chad told me)
- Smoke machine. Oh yeah baby.
- Four PA's and two subwoofers to surround the dancefloor (by the way, if you didn't know Moxie's had a dancefloor, and a killer one at that, with a bolted-down marble table that you can dance on in the middle of it all, well, now you do)
- LOTS of people. I am inviting everyone I know, Alex as well. And not to mention, as I found out from Chad tonight, the event itself actually has a reputation of its own, so the general public will be there as well.
- And did I mention pounding Wobble, Electro and House from 9pm until 2am???

If I haven't convinced you by now that I would actually wet my pants to see you there at 9pm next Friday, Halloween, tell me and I will get in my car right now and drive to wherever you are and take you to Peter's Drive-In to seal the deal.

For those of you that have homework or midterms that week or whatever, I think I can relate: I actually have a programming midterm from 6:30pm - 8:30pm THAT NIGHT, and you can bet I'll have to write the darn thing with my costume on and race down south when it's done. So if you see a red Honda pulled over on Crowchild with an officer arresting Edward Scissor hands, now you know why.

Actually, I haven't decided on my costume yet, but it's gonna be bonk and so will Alex's.

I'm going to pass out now. I typed this all out in one breath, did you know that?

*Body Hits floor. 3 minutes pass. Startles awake, rubs eyes, climbs back to keyboard.*

Okay, there you have it. I asked Chad tonight for 200 posters that I'm going to be stapling up around the University in the next two days, so you're going to see posters up for "Zombiefest" at Moxie's in the south close to Southcentre. Yes, some of you live in the North, but you see, when our great city was formed, they actually thought of that problem, and they built this nifty road that actually takes you all the way here!

Zesty!!
