6 more days til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! 6 more days till Halloween.... but 5 days until Halloween at Chicago's home to SENSITIVE AND INTELLIGENT BATHROOMS... IBW Lodge #1.

Over here at IBW Lodge #1 we get extra squirrely around this time of year. Truth is, we're not even sure if we aren't some kind of trans-dimensional goblins who have been brainwashed to believe we're humans running a brewery and Lodge (ok, Cult) just so we're less conflicted in completing our mission of making the world less of a soulless cess pool of mean-spirited cranks. Frankly, that's real hard work fulfilling that mission and, doing it while you know in your heart that you're a goblin from another dimension, only complicates things.

But, I've said too much already.

THIS THURSDAY WE ARE HAVING A DOG COSTUME PHOTO COMPETITION. Bring your dog in in a costume and you get a $3 can of INNER SPACE. We'll take your photo and post them all on our Instagram account on Friday. Whoever gets voted as the best dog costume by our instagram followers wins a $50 IBW GIFT CARD.

We are TOTALLY biting off of our friends at Lucky Dorr who have done this for 3 years. IN FACT, they are doing it on Thursday as well. So, you could go to Lucky Dorr at 6pm for their event and then bring your dog still dolled up to our place (we're about a 10 minute drive from Lucky Dorr) and cook two nerds with one drone. Think about it, this is your only life, why are you going to leave opportunities like this on the table? Why???

While you're here you could pick up a pumpkin to paint for our Pumpkin Painting Contest on Saturday. Or drop off a pumpkin you already painted. Or do nothing, but drink. Any way you slice it, you should definitely make plans to be here on Saturday for our Halloween party.

Why, you ask? Because we're going to knock it out of the ghoulish park on Saturday October 30th with a full day's run of events, everything from the very wholesome, to the truly dark and depraved. Something for everybody, really.

Here's the Facebook event page for people who still do that Facebook thing: https://www.facebook.com/events/172486615076878

Read the flyer, it gives you all the details. Wear a costume. Ok?

We'll have prizes of t-shirts, IBW gift cards and some other seasonally appropriate & scary stuff to give away. There will be something spooky on the tube. Or maybe we'll just turn that damn thing off? Hard to say.
