CRYPT

15/11/2024

Hey darklings!

If you've attended one of our goth nights, you might have seen Harlan, an integral part of our CRYPT Crew, running around and making sure everything runs smoothly. Harlan is in need of some major, urgent dental work that his insurance barely covers.

If you've got a spare few bucks floating around in your chain wallets, consider donating to Harlan's gofundme. Every bit helps! Fangs in advance!

💀READ ON FOR AN UPDATE ABOUT KRAMPUSNACHT💀

Hello, Darklings!

Some of you may know that our home location, the Historic Masonic Temple, is undergoing some restoration work this winter (as is common in buildings over a century old). With this comes the possibility of stretches of time without heat, or without working restrooms. With this uncertainty in mind, we have decided to make a couple changes regarding our upcoming Krampusnacht event.

1. CRYPT: Krampusnacht | Goth Night will now be taking place on DECEMBER 7TH instead of December 14th.
2. Our Krampusnacht event is being moved from the HMT to Lolobee’s Lounge, and as such, it will be a more pared down, "intimate" setting. Expect DJs, goth photos with Santa, and hanging out with friends, but no vendors or clothing swap.
3. As this is now being held in a business, rather than an event venue, we will not be charging admission. We will still have opportunities for you to support your local goth scene--either at our merch table, or via donation. We also ask that you please support and thank our hosts by getting a warm bevvy.
4. The First Annual Krampus Walk will now begin at Pershing Park (meet up at 6, start walking at 6:30), going down the Midland St district and ending at Lolobee's Lounge, where we'll party until 11pm.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation! This is going to be a fun event, and we can't think of a better way to kick off the holidays than with all of you!

-The CRYPT Crew

Calling all spooky creatives! 💀

We at CRYPT love and appreciate the historic venue we utilise for our events. It’s full of history and beauty. We very much look forward to years of future CRYPT events in this 130 year old landmark.

If you dig it as much as we do and would like to contribute to its restoration and preservation, please consider supporting. 💜🤘🏼💀

One of the most recognizeable features of our building is the stunning plaster molding decorating the arch of our biggest stage (known as the proscenium). Ornamental plaster was a common decoration in the late 1800s and early 1900s, especially in community buildings like theatres. Our proscenium is in excellent condition, and really provides that "wow" factor when you first enter the Blue room.

If you would like to contribute to the restoration and preservation of this historic building for generations to come, please visit https://buff.ly/3yGqCRf or contact us for more info!

Learn more about one of our CRYPT masterminds, Harlan! If you've been to CRYPT, chances are you've met him. We think he's a pretty cool dude!

Thank you to VAZUM and ThePicassos for gracing the Blue Room stage and rocking our sucks off! 🤘🏼

Thank you to the venders, our volunteers, and the Historic Masonic Temple of Bay City!!

Our next event is September 28th! The theme is Gothtoberfest! So break out those goth dirndl, Lederhosen, or whatever suits your fancy!
