SUPER AWESOME NIGHT
Why we do it: Well, we’re not 20 anymore, and going to the bar until 3 AM no longer sounds (or feels) like a good idea. Dinners out are getting boring, and with Netflix we feel like the couch has become our primary place of rest. We want to break the habit. We want to encourage you to get out of the grind and then engage you.
Our goal is simply, to entertain. Each event will be created differently, so we promise to never wash, rinse, and repeat (unless that is what you ask for, then we are happy to oblige).
