Event/Halloween/Setting
Read here what has happened so far if you come in late:
The party started, quite literally, after the sun went down. Once the city was officially bathed in darkness and the street lights turned on, the warehouse at the corner of Broadway and Second streets lit up with their projected light show to advertise their Halloween Party. The music is playing, the drinks are flowing, the costumes range from classical, 1920's flappers to the latest in latex-based creature makeup. A prize will be awarded later in the evening for funniest costume, scariest and sexiest.
The pale blue lights of the dance floor flash and pulse in time with the music while the soft, erie, green glow of the lights over the tables remain constant. People begin circulating in and around the floor - just getting the feel for the place. Not everyone has come in costume - some have come in normal 'street' clothes and in some cases, less. Guys and gals dressed in skimpy underwear wander around the floor enjoying the freedom that tonight brings.
The DJ-controlled music pauses for a moment as a live band, a local product that's been making the scene lately called 'Steel Snowflake', starts to play. The band's lead singer, a tall, willowy girl with fire for hair and porcelain for skin grabs the mic and stands center stage as the orange-yellow lights kick up as some god-aweful notes comes out of some strange horn-like instrument played by a guy in the back.

The crowd seems to respond well to the live band. Not that the DJ is bad but it's just fun to have a real band for big events like this. After the tall, willowy girl finishes her song, the band takes a moment to reorganize itself and now a young guy walks up to the front, center of the stage and takes the mic. With hair that's a bit too long for his face and pants that are tight enough that you could probably tell his religion, he starts to let his sultry, voice call out the first lyrics of their second song. "...Running up that Hill," the band echoes in chorus.
