No cover, doors open 9m, tons o prizes for best out fit/ costume. At Savage Garden on Queen West. From Paul: "It was such an awe inspiring event last time that we just had to do another. Same musical mix (all over the 80's). This time we thought we'd give the guys a little more guidance on costume. (the chicks don't need it cos they did amazing last time). It was so hard to come up with a definitive look for men, I racked my brain for hours. Then it hit me. Remember those extremely cheesy metal bands of the eighties. Twisted sister, Wasp etc., well now its time too dress like them. As to you girls, feel free to rock out with us bad boys, spandex, more big hair, and loads of heaving cleavage, are some suggestions :). For the guys, spandex and cod pieces were once more in vogue along with leather and of course, extremely big permed hair. Too cool to rock out. Then don't fear all other outfits are encouraged. Boy George, Pete Burns, Howard Jones. More Madonna's and Cyndi Laupers. This time don't be the one one standing around in black watching everyone else enjoy themselves, strap on a wig and go nuts." www.savagegarden.ca

Epitaph CD release party hosted by DJ M @ Savage Garden. "Bill Leeb and Chris Peterson got back to their roots and replanted them with the newest Front Line Assembly album, Epitaph.
