XXX House Party: An 80’s-90’s Hoochie Burlesque Celebration 7/26

Ages 21+

It's an 80's to early 90's blast from the past, rated XXX- at The Original Night Cap—the Hottest After Party trapped inside a VHS Tape.

This is the House Party that you don't want to miss.

Rewinding it back to the ultimate 80's-90's fantasy, an exclusive after party that lives forever inside a VHS- where all you have to do is press "play". 

 The Vibes
Bring back big gold hoops, thigh-high boots, all the animal prints you can think of, and denim- denim-denim isn't just a sound on your favorite video game. From Keith Sweat to a Tribe Called Quest, this night is dripping in nostalgia and sensuality, with a purr of the Cadillac engine- crusin' with the top laid back.

 The Performances
Our lineup of local, traveling, and award-winning performers will roll the years back- because you know you can still bust out those dance moves. From long nails to the baggiest leather pants you've ever seen- you may not want to eject this VHS.

 The Atmosphere
House Parties rule supreme on our side of the Universe, and XXX House Party takes the cake. Climb on up to the top shelf and stay a while- The Original Nite Cap has just the libations you're looking for.
