This year, we thought it would be great to do a strange 80s throwback party. You remember the 80s3… the IBM PC, the Mac, the WWW, Windows 2.0, Eleven, and Demogorgons. To jog your memory, there will be 80s-style entertainment, games, the best 80s tribute band, and as always, a quiet place to sit and reflect on why you keep coming to these vapid affairs. Food, beverages, entertainment, and Eggo Waffles provided thanks to our wonderful sponsors. Learn more.
