An August Affair
On Friday, August 11, 2006, at an underground club of great renown, two unique visions will come together for an evening of dark elegance and sophisticated cocktailiana.
Headlined by Dark Sparkle which brings its special blend of now and then to the main room with an assist of dark/sexy music on the theater dance floor from the DJs of sinFUSION (Absinthe Party, Naughty, Slick), this aims to be an august affair to remember – any absinthe-induced memory loss notwithstanding.
Hosting both a main cocktail bar and a specialty absinthe bar (all absinthes imported from Europe), our favorite "undisclosed location" also features a roof deck and a warren of rooms through which to meander with the potential for surprises around every corner. And did we mention we'll be going late?
So dress up in your finest and come down for the cocktail party of the season! Two kinds of music and a menu of beverages both old and new in a space that lends itself to a unique environment of civilized conviviality – a heady concoction we’ll simply call “An August Affair.”
Join us, won’t you?

Thu, August 3, 2006 - 10:37 AMMake it a tuxedo shirt and you should be golden. Don't hold me to that though. -

Re: Cocktails anyone? Dark Sparkle takes part in "An August Affair."
Thu, August 3, 2006 - 1:46 PMI'm sure they'll roll out the red carpet and escort you directly to your roped off makeout booth. Don't hold me to that though. -

Thu, August 3, 2006 - 2:27 PMwatch out for the makeout booth, though. it's kind of bright and plush... -

Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Fri, August 4, 2006 - 9:03 AMDo you think advance tickets are required, or can we chance it at the door? I suppose I should buy an advance ticket so I don't get charged double at the door when I show up in sneakers and daisy dukes..... -

Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Fri, August 4, 2006 - 9:22 AMI bet you can chance it at the door. I've only seen Debaucherama sell out, but some of these absinthe parties tend to be pretty well packed. -

Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Fri, August 4, 2006 - 9:29 AMI actually don't drink (I'm going for the Dark Sparkle-provided entertainment), so I've never tried absinthe. Isn't that the banned alcohol that's like drinking the liquid equivalent of a Dali painting?? -

Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Fri, August 4, 2006 - 2:00 PMbanned alcohol - yes
liquid equivalent of a Dali painting - not exactly
Rather than get on my soapbox, I shall direct you to the Wormwood Society: www.wormwoodsociety.org/ABSfaq.html -

Thanks again. -

Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Fri, August 4, 2006 - 2:26 PMDon't believe the hype! Drink it and succumb to madness...MADNESS I SAY!
Speaking of which, I'll be playing some Madness at the event in honor of your new found dementia. Enjoy! -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.Unsu...
Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Fri, August 4, 2006 - 2:39 PMOooo, play Madness followed by "Christine" and I'll definitely take off said not not fancy pants I'll be wearing in a dancefloor dementia....

Re: ADVANCE TICKET CORRECTION!!!!
Wed, August 9, 2006 - 10:10 AMActually, purchasing a ticket doesn't preclude getting charged again at the door - but that would only happen if the outfit was particularly egregious. Remember, this *is* a cocktail party. What would you wear to a cocktail party?
Any clubwear is fine and frankly the dress-up encouragement is mostly that, encouragement. It also gives us some cover when the random dood walks in off the street and we need a reason to say "No."
More info than you wanted, I'm sure...

Re: Cocktails anyone? Dark Sparkle takes part in "An August Affair."
Wed, August 9, 2006 - 10:16 AMI'm sooooo happy to have the Dark Sparkle crew in the house. Since I throw mostly fetish events, which this one is most definitely *not*, I usually have to forgo DS to promote at BAGG. Boo!
Sage & Margo and I go way (way, waaaay) back and every time we get together for an event, which is not often enough, I get quite nostalgic. I'll be the one in the corner, weeping quietly into my absinthe.
And speaking of absinthe, I daresay Dark Sparkle and absinthe should be a perfect combination!

Wed, August 9, 2006 - 10:27 AMNo, never too much information!
> > > What would you wear to a cocktail party?
Well, given that I don't drink* so I rarely go to cocktail parties, I don't really know. The last cocktail-type party I went to I wore the usual: Chuck Taylors, dark Levis, one of my good heavy metal t-shirts, and a fancy jacket. I have "dressy" clothes, I just don't like wearing wool or velvet or whatever on a dancefloor. Mmmmm..... moist velvet..... always a hot look....
I'll think of something before Friday.
*No, I'm not a recovering alcoholic, I just never liked to drink. Now angel dust and large amounts of heroin on the other hand.... -

Re: Cocktails anyone? Dark Sparkle takes part in "An August Affair."
Wed, August 9, 2006 - 1:11 PMWell if you've got a fancy jacket yer set! Really, I'm not going to be fascist about it.
And as for "cocktail party" I don't just mean drinking but that there are many rooms and a roof deck where you can socialize without being drowned out by the music. The place is kind of a maze...

Thank you!
Sat, August 12, 2006 - 2:37 PMI want to thank all of you for coming out last night and helping make An August Affair a success!
I was giving less than two weeks to organize the event from start to finish and I must say that my expectations (including how late we were going to go) were quite well exceeded. Dark Sparklers are indeed a classy group of people and it showed last night.
So thank you!
