We tenants of The Pink Warehouse are happy to cordially announce the 4th annual Pink Warehouse New Years Eve celebration. Please Note: This is a PRIVATE event and not open for the general public. Attendees must bring their invitations (sent via snail mail or handed to in person) and any guests with them, upon arrival.
Celebrating New Year at The Pink Warehouse has become a sort of a tradition for a few of us tenants and it has grown sporadically over the past few years. This New Year holds promise of being not only the best but most Pink Warehouseoriginal, thus far.
This year we’ve added a special twist and will be ushering in 2007 as flappers and gangsters, returning WW I soldiers and sailors, silent movie stars, prohibitionists, keystone cops, bootleggers, cigarette girls and any other personality type of The Roaring 1920’s era you can imagine.
Of course it’s not mandatory to dress the era … but rest assured many (if not most) will be participating in some way or form. It’s been exhilarating to see how many have already ventured out to find a suitable dress, “zoot suit”, fedora hat, long pearls (fake of course!), Boas and other such accessories. But don’t stress! If you’re a minimalist … showing up with just a shirt and hat of the era will do just fine! A little participation will go a long, long way and contribute MUCH to the excitement and energy of the atmosphere that evening.
Included on this website you’ll find the following info to assist you in your preparation:
- A link to RSVP and inform us of you intention to attend and the number of guests you will be bringing (this is VERY important)
- A little info about The Pink Warehouse.
- Links for info about the roaring 20’s
- Links to help assist you with ideas regarding what to wear and even where to buy them (remember … you don’t have to spend a lot!)
- Slang of the era. Throw it around while you’re talking to other guests
- A link to the address (bottom of this page)
- Contact info should you need more details
- Et cetera
Other IMPORTANT points to mention are:
- A SLOT MACHINE (item shown is similar but not actual item) will be awarded to he or she who is considered to be the Best Dressed of the era
- There will be food available
- It’s B.Y.O.B (prohibition baby … we can’t serve alcohol) but there will be a bar where you can mix what YOU bring and LOTS or refrigeration, ice and mixers available for your use (never hurts to bring extra mixers though)
- There may (or may not) be a coat-check available – so don’t bring what you don’t want to carry … just in case we’re not able to provide that luxury. This is a BIG party and checking coats may or may not be something we’re up to – but we’ll try.
- DJ Stroud courtesy of Mining Vinyl Records will be mixing the tracks that evening so be prepared to get out on the dance floor and show some enthusiasm! It might be the 20’s but we’ll be spinning some Millennium sound.
- We’ve put A LOT of time, expense and effort to provide a safe, comfortable, luxurious and entertaining place to spend your New Year this December 31st. All we ask in return is for your participation, enthusiasm and respect towards The Warehouse, the tenants who live there as well as the other guests who will be attending with you. No drama … No regrets.
Lastly … Please be prepared to take a cab or find an alternate way home that morning if you plan on consuming alcohol. We will make it a point to make the local taxi companies aware of this warehouse event and hopefully cabs will stationed in front of the building and accessible to our guest at all times throughout the evening.
