$10 w/rsvp before midnight to http://www.meanredproductions.com/nowayback/nowayback/rsvp.html; Thanksgiving Eve is our favorite party night of the year - it's unexpected. No countdowns, No costumes, No pretense other than just raging and disolving between speakers on a dancefloor. It's a pure, focused, unfettered party night. The lineup is stacked with DJs and live acts that are uncompromising in their artistic pursuit, we promise a long night that will go deep. We're throwing a warehouse get-together for all the people coming into town and for those who can't leave. Why? Because we're thankful for whisky shots, sweat, subwoofers, good people, and wee hours of the morning.
