The time has come to invite you to this year's Halloween fundraiser - "THEY LIVE in Dismayland." Now I know what you're thinking... What outrageously fun costume can I come up with this year? Let me tell you the story behind the theme: John Carpenter's THEY LIVE follows a drifter played by Rowdy Roddy Piper who finds a pair of sunglasses. Through these shades he sees that blue humanoids from outer
-space walk among us. Not only that, these extra-terrestrials control society through subliminal messages in print and other media. Everyone has been brainwashed and only the sunglasses reveal the controllers' true intentions to deplete our natural resources until global warming forces them to move on to another planet. And what about Dismayland you ask? We've been enchanted by local artist Jeff Gillette's vision of a post-apocalyptic, dystopian Disneyland. Our happiest Anaheim corporate overlords own the characters of Marvel and Star Wars and practically everything else which should provide you with inspiration for a million slightly-off or perhaps subliminally tweaked costumes. With a sprinkle of Fairey dust - the Halloween theme was created. You will be amazed by our disenchanted Tiki room, our muddy Rivers of America, and of course we even have a pirate ship. The lights, props and video projections will be sure to dazzle you, as well as burlesque performer, Ruby Champagne. There will also be themed art on display for purchase & silent auction with all proceeds benefiting Community Engagement. You will CONSUME snacks, booze, live rock and roll by Cheap Tricked, a late night dance party led by Aaron the DJ, and so much more! So OBEY - Make a donation, buy a "ticket", and spend a little for a good cause.
