THEME & STYLE
This year’s annual Horned Bacchanal delves into Fantasy Gaming with a
twisted take on World of Warcraft, Dungeons & Dragons and the many
interactive realms that have come from them. A night of wild
costumery, absurdist activities and magical DJs in two rooms.
As always, any and all forms of horns are welcome as the winter melts
and the animals stir. For this year’s theme, be prepared for an evening
of fantasy themed horned adventure, interactive theater and strange
creatures, INCLUDING YOU!… For inspiration, much of this universe
springs from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy (1937-1949) leading
to millions of fantasy novels and films, the D&D table top gaming
system, Video RPGs, MMORPGs and LARP… Look them up!
So much to choose from! CRAFT THOSE HORNS!
