supplies last, the party guests who attend this event will receive
trading cards for each of the above artists to take home so you remember
their names. Arrive with an open mind, open heart, and please be receptive to learning WHILE having fun.
Although
we encourage metaphorical flames on the dance floor, we also DISCOURAGE
playing with REAL fire. That's why this month's poster features our
mascot, Scorchy the Big Gay Bear who is sporting a tiny hat! Scortchy says, "TINY HATS ARE ENCOURAGED" for this edition of Flame! Colorful outfits & looks are also highly encouraged!
