Soooo I basically copied and pasted this off the fbook event but  common.. it was easy ANNND informative! Rumor has it that they will be announcing some big big BIG news.. I heard some rumors and they were about the venue… I actually have no confirmation on said rumor but I dream that it be true. Oooooh my god.. common RUMOR!!!!  As for theme.. its good thing its garbage. I personally hate making costumes now because I must make so many for performances.. what once was my most favorite of days (Halloweiner) has become a source of fatigue. Same with costume parties where I dont already have that costume in my inventory. I swear to god I will probably just wear a fish stick box on my head and one single garbage bag with my legs and arms poked out the sides… HOWS THAT FOR COUTURE!!! YOU LIKE ME NOW??? NOW THAT I HAVE A BOX HAT??? I’m not mad at you.. I’m sorry… uhhh.. come to the party!!! xox
