The Homecoming

On October 17th, 2009 we welcome you to join us for a multimedia arts production of epic proportion. Astoria's legendary Hell Gate Social will be hosting the third and final phase of our most successful show to date: Necropolis:City of the Dead. This presentation will be an all out Necro-style pre-halloween bash with musical performances by: Bambi, Drew Henkels of Drew and the Medicinal Pen and Hip Like [Blank]. The evening will also feature the tantalizing and terrifying stylings of the ladies of Brown Girl's Burlesque, who will be breaking hearts and feasting on flesh throughout the night. If that isn't enough, we will also be featuring a number of other performances from AAA's own world-class artists, including the choreography of Whitney Jacobs, Pearl Marasigan and Remi Harris. Two of our finest resident Word Smiths; Andrew Keil and Jordan Levy, will be showcasing their talent in all of it's glory. Patrick Roeder, the comic genius behind Robo-Comic, will be livening the mood with his unique wit and words. For your viewing pleasure, we will also be presenting the films of Molly Ryszel and Brian MacMillan. Throughout the night you will be surrounded by the many inspiring and terrifying works of our visual artists, who will begin a 3 month hang on the walls of the Hell Gate Social.  There will be prizes and giveaways all night long plus a costume contest to end the evening. Finally, our resident anarcho-porn clown Giggles the Nihilist will be stirring up tricks and treats all night long. So, bring your friends and a lust for life and join us on Sat. October 17th at 8pm.  As Always, it will by a night that will not soon to be forgotten.
