Sorry if this is light or if the quality is lacking. I honestly did the best I could.

This will not replace Saturday’s spot in the weekly LOVIEE; the non-holiday events will still go there.

Saturday 10-31

Alice in Wonderland Halloween Costume Ball at Pravada, 2815 S. Shepherd, 9pm-2am. See Eventbrite listing for current ticket price (will increase as event approaches). Attractions include a cash costume contest, an art cars exhibit and a Mad Hatter teacup ride. Costumes are mandatory, masks will be sold at the door for $5 for those without. 21+. 09-S-AHE-2
