Sound & Vision Party at the Temple of Art and Music (TAM)
The "sound" is the best tracks of the 60s-70s-80s-90s-to today. The "vision" is you dressed for your fave decade -- as authentic as possible! Hope to see everything from vintage mod to bell bottoms to big hair and maybe some grunge. Reach into the back of your closet or visit a thrift shop because anything goes so long as you keep it real. Live band and DJ with some special guest performances. With casual nibbles and serious drinks.
