🚀 THEME DROP 🚀
This year, we’re taking things way past the fourth wall…
.
💫 WELCOME TO THE FIFTH DIMENSION 💫
Think The Fifth Element meets alternate reality: wild fashion, warped time, and vibes that defy physics.
Multiverse? Check. Multi-pass? Obviously.
.
And the flyer? Absolutely iconic — shoutout to the one and only Chloe Gagin for the stunning artwork. 🔥🛸
Get ready to bend space, style, and maybe a few minds.
.
.
Tix live next week!
Shout out to our venue host @scoobydoomansion 🙏
