Sick of the crowds on Halloween? Then come to APRILWEEN! Yup, Halloween in April -- a holiday so nice, we're doing it twice! Why wait until October to wear a costume? Dress up to enter our Costume Contest, hosted by Grand Duchess
Cookie Dough, with hundreds of dollars in cash prizes! House band
Smash-Up Derby will take the stage at 11 PM for a special costumed Aprilween set, while Bootie's mashup DJs Tripp,
John!John!, and
Dada will break out the spooky mashups to keep you dancing late into the witching hour!
For the Aprilween Midnight Mashup Show,
Twinkletoes McGee returns to the Bootie stage for a special creepy performance, while in the upstairs room, "Die, Die My Darling" brings the Aprilween spirit, as DJs
El D and
Reyka play the gravest goth hits of Death Rock, spinning Batcave classics and remixes all night.
Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by A Plus D -- aka DJs Adrian & Mysterious D -- Bootie was the first club night dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with regular parties in several cities on four continents. Voted "Best Club Night" for the past six years, Bootie keeps your brain guessing and body dancing with creative song combinations, mixing and matching every musical genre, era, and style into one big dance party. Providing the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation -- and free mashup CDs given away like candy -- it's a place where everyone is welcome.
