A Match Made on 11th Street: Valentine Dance at BT
Jam-packed OddCity Event is a chance to dress up and get down
Saturday, Feb. 8
Looking for a Valentine's event that offers some excitement compared to a quiet night in? How about a punk rock dance? If so, for the second year in a row, OddCity Entertainment has a jam-packed evening lined up at Basement Transmissions. Featuring music from seven local acts, flow prop dancers, photo booths, a corsage/boutonnière station, as well as food and goods from eight different vendors, this might just be the match for you. Whether you want to bring your loved one (or loved ones), or ride solo, guests are encouraged to dress up in formal wear for the evening. Feel free to get creative because there will be a special best dressed contest to boot.
What would a dance be without music? With an eclectic and exciting mix of different genres, live acts include DJ Lone Sav, TayJer, Ducky, Do Not Call List, Fastfall, Velvet Waves, and Logan B & Dirty Leaf.
Vendors on site will be A Floral Affair, The Ravens Nest Oddities, DW3D, Shadow Knight Curiosities, Morbid Merchandise, Erie Ale Works, Soulful Wraps, and event sponsor, John's Wildwood Pizza.
Cypher Eihwaz (40 Under 40 Class of 2024), one of the event's organizers with OddCity Entertainment, explained that "our yearly Valentine Dance is important to us because it's our way to help raise some of the funds we need to be able to host another year of The Violet Gathering, a weekend festival which raises awareness for domestic violence with proceeds going to the crime victims center of Erie."
5 p.m. // Basement Transmissions, 145 W. 11th St. // $12 pre-sale, $20 day of event // All ages, wheelchair accessible // For tickets and more information, go to OddCityEntertainment.org
