[Sh]it's going down! Turkey Style.

Come on over to The Bell House this evening for various "Pre-Thanksgiving" activities. (Alcohol will be a key part of the events, needless to say.) The activities include a happy hour with $1 off all drinks at $4 pints, a scavenger hunt, and an after party.

Teams consist of 2-4 people, and if anything, the free shots provided along the way are extra incentive.

Contact scavengerhunt@thebellhouseny.com to register your team!

DON YOUR DANCIN' SHOES!

PUT ON YOUR CAPS LOCKS! OVERFLOW's Super Secret Party is a secret no more! Mark your calenders ladies and gentlemen because December 10th is the release of our brilliant Winter issue and we want to treat you all to a little party!

Meet us at the new Gowanus venue Littlefield to have some drinks (the more the better, right?), pickup our new issue, and dance your socks off with our eclectic electric line-up.

Party starts at 8pm and stay on to see our local acts:

Ribbons
Peephole
and...Bear Hands!

"Remember, remember the 5th of November!"

Only the Bell House would have a celebration for the anniversary of the day over four centuries ago that English Parliament DIDN'T get blown up. 

This Thursday, November 5th at the Bell House at 8:00 p.m. you can actually celebrate the 404th anniversary (yes, 404th) that the English Parliament didn't get blown up. 

Otherwise knows as Guy Fawkes Day in England, the party is free and will be complete with British DJs, V for Vendetta, and special "British" drinks. 

(A fake British accent isn't required, but highly suggested.)

The daily mis[haps]

Get ready to celebrate Halloween in Park Slope, because OUR parade is better than YOUR parade. (In terms of having a good time of course, as opposed to seeing who can drink the most or get the most disorderly conduct tickets.)

Park Slope's annual parade will complete its twenty-third birthday this year and will be more eccentric and outdone than ever. 

According to the Brooklyn paper, this year's parade will be, "like the Crown Heights West Indian Day Parade and Coney Island's Mermaid Parade rolled into one--only without the fire marshal-sized crowds or bare breasts."

Who could resist that?

A Higher Class of Halloween

In the event that you are really sick of struggling your way through bunch of slutty kittens and angels on your way to a warm, flat keg and bowl of stale candy corn this Halloween, look no further than The Halloween Eve Masquerarde, hosted by Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra at the ultra chic speakeasy, The Green Building in Carroll Gardens.
Perhaps this might be the one party that I can wear my vintage 20's flapper dress without it being covered in beer, someone else's vomit or a combination of both? Here's hoping!

These Guys Actually Know How To Party

Bergen Street Comics knows how to throw down. Last month they broke out the Pabst and celebrated the newest comic book release by South Brooklyn's very own sci-fi/rock 'n' roll/superheroes, AMERICANS UK. The event was free and open to the public, yet somehow I received a complimentary invitation. I'm glad I showed up. Before receding into one of those phase three alcoholic fogs (I had been playing badminton earlier that afternoon in Prospect Park) I recalled having had a splendid time among familiar strangers.

This is all a fairly long-winded and self-indulgent way of saying that Bergen Street Comics has a couple of more killer events coming up. Quite frankly you'd be a fool to miss them:

Wednesday, October 14, 6:00pm - 9:00pm Release Party for the Act-i-vate Primer!

Bergen Street Comics is proud to celebrate the long awaited release of Act-i-vate’s very first print anthology, The Act-i-vate Primer! The book features 16 exclusive, never-before-seen stories by the acclaimed creators of “The Muppet Show Comic Book,” “Freddie & Me,” “The Salon,” “Fahrenheit 451,” “The Alcoholic,” “Scarlett Takes Manhattan,” “Nicolai Dante” and many more! Enjoy the refreshments, pick up your very own copy of the Primer and have it signed by your favorite comics creators! After-party at 4th Avenue Pub!

October 17, 7:00pm - 9:00pm High Moon, Box 13 and comiXology!
On Saturday, October 17^th, Bergen Street Comics and comiXology are proud to co-host the Brooklyn launch party for critically acclaimed creators, David Gallaher and Steve Ellis. Join us as we celebrate the launch of the print version of their online Zuda Comic “High Moon,” as well as “Box 13,” created by Gallaher, Ellis and Scott O. Brown. “Box 13” is a 13-part, a neo-noir thriller, and serialized digital comic, launching exclusively through comiXology and available on October 13.
