IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF YEAR ONCE AGAIN!

One of my biggest critiques of humanity - and there are PLENTY - is that people don't have the GUTS (or the taste or the panache) to just leave their Halloween decorations up all year round.

Imagine a world where goblins and ghouls and diabolical critters of all kinds howled at you anytime you approached a neighbors door. This is the kind of sanity that could carry us past this little evolutionary hiccup we've been mired in as of late and carry us onto the promise of the Future, I tell you.

Halloween is almost here and, as you probably suspected, we have a bunch of events to help you celebrate this wonderful season. Starting TONIGHT!

Come on down, by a beer or four and decorate a pumpkin. You can decorate here or at home, but make sure you get it back here so that you have a chance to win our jack-o-lantern contest at our Halloween party on 10/26.

And, because Thursday's are always butthead to Broderick here at our troubled little Lodge, it's also FRANKENSTEIN THURSDAY!

That's TONIGHT for the FrankenSTEIN build your 1L stein of either TRUST or ORANGE SUNSHINE (D&P is out and I don't feel like fixing the graphic). For $10 you can drink the stein, but for a measly $20 you can take this fancy IBW stein home with you. GOOD LORD, that's a mighty fine deal. If you're nice and you ask and you shovel out the cash, we'll give you a 1L of Ecto-Slushy for $30. But we're only doing the $30 deal on that.

And, also, just in case it gets too crowded in here tonight we've got this month's installment of THE ELASTIC TELEPATHIC WORKSHOP!!!

If you're a moderately capable musician and bring your own crap you can sit in with us and help drive all the remaining customers out of this place.

Can I be Sirius for a second? This ELASTIC TELEPATHIC WORKSHOP has really blossomed into a beautiful and musically engaging kind of thing. Run by America's Sweetheart, John Vernon Forbes, and featuring the drum wizardry of BARBER DEREK, we've assembled a pretty exciting line up of musicians who , somehow, always seems to find our musical asses even amidst seemingly improbably odds. We're going to stream tonight's set on INSTAGRAM so, if you're skeptical you can sit home like a creep and judge people who are actually doing something while you are at home judging people. WHAT A DEAL!! We designed that just for YOU.

This Saturday is the 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the incredible Modular Synth night we host here with our friends from DAY GLOW PRODUCTIONS!

If you're a Modular Synth freak this is the perfect evening to feed your addiction... and there's NEVER a cover. If I could cap lock that further I would. And Video Waste... oh man, sweet, sweet Video Waste.

We haven't even gotten to Halloween week yet....

NEXT THURSDAY!! It's my favorite night of the Halloween Season when we bring you the 4TH ANNUAL DOG COSTUME CONTEST!!

Come get your pet's photo taken and we'll even let you get in there as well if you like. If you participate, you get 10% off your tab for the evening and you might even win one of our AMAZING prizes.

This year we'll have IBW Gift Cards and a FREE Dog Training class from CANINE THERAPY CORPS. If you don't recall, what we do is post the photos the next day on IG and Creepbook and we let you THE PEOPLE vote. For once in this god-forsaken world your voice might be heard. Vote early, vote often and make sure the most adorable dog wins... AGAIN!

AND THEN...

It's all right there. Read the flyer and live content knowing that I will be blowing up your inbox next week with more reminders.

OH! Also... on SUNDAY OCTOBER 27TH we've got... wait for it... BEETLEJUICE THEMED TEAM TRIVIA. Oh boy, that's gonna be fun on a bun.

October is truly the greatest month of the year.

Hopefully we'll see some of you beautiful people tonight!
