L'absinthe C'est La Mort

Do you spook easily at the speakeasy but tear seamlessly into a good cemetery? Then you'll just die for tomorrow's weird twenties-themed mausoleum bash. The folks at the Steve Allen Theater have decided to relive the halcyon days of the last great economic crash tomorrow night by dolling up in semi-formal attire, drinking absinthe, listening to Janet Klein & her Parlor Boys, and watching hundred-year-old Masonic Magic Lantern loops in the heart of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the Cathedral Mausoleum.

The fun starts at 9:00 p.m. and costs $20--not a bad rate for all that class, except for the fact that the flyers say "Absinthe not included in the ticket price." At the cemetery, one expects to be terrified by poltergeists, not prices, but it seems that the cost of living is going up even amongst the dead! Well, at least you'll get more bang for your buck than rolling up cigarettes with $100 bills. You can buy your tickets here.
