Every Halloween, you shell out between $20 and $100 bucks on the
perfect costume, only to wear it for one night. Well, drag that orange
jumpsuit and Bernie Madoff mask out of storage because NRG Luv
Productions is offering another excuse to don your Halloween
disguise.
Costumes are strongly encouraged at the annual “Nightmare Before
Christmas” party benefiting Friends for Life and Hope House. At
Café Eclectic on Saturday, December 12th, DJs Mary Jane, Steve
Anne, Justin Hand, Nathan Ashby, Scottie B, and Suga’ Shane will spin
records while attendees enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet and open
bar.
NRG Luv’s Shane Jeffers, an employee at Café Eclectic, has
been throwing an annual Christmas party at his house for seven years.
He adopted the charity cause the fourth year, and the shindig
eventually outgrew his home.
“We had 411 people show up at my house last time. That’s why we
moved to Café Eclectic this year,” Jeffers (aka DJ Suga’ Shane)
says.
Though costumes aren’t required, Jeffers says it would be behoove
folks to dress up. That’s because they’re offering two $100 cash prizes
for best Halloween and best Christmas costumes.
Partygoers will be asked to donate $20 at the door or three
unwrapped toys. The money and toys will be divided among HIV/AIDS
service providers Friends for Life and Hope House, which helps kids who
have been infected with HIV.
