The further removed I am from my college days, the less I care about the night before Thanksgiving. Billed as THE party night of the year, the night is used as an excuse for college kids to see their fellow co-ed friends back in town after a tough semester and proceed to go absolutely HAM. While I have been known to partake in the debauchery in my younger years, these days I worry how I will function getting up at 8am to run the Turkey Trot. Oh well... BUT, if you do feel the need to go hard tonight, you could do worse than what the Hotel Lafayette is offering. An ambitious, multi-level/room party, titled The Night B4 Thanksgiving, will take over the recently renovated downtown gem of a building.

In the Pan American Room, you can catch long time post-rockers Lazlo Hollyfeld, a living, breathing New Orleans inspired party in 12/8 Path Band, and a handful of DJs. Head upstairs to the Only Comrades curated 3rd floor where the street goth kings, who just came off a successful trip down the runway at Mass Appeal, will be hosting the likes of visual display artist Projex, interstellar duo UVB-76, and others.

Other rooms will include a collection of Igloo house DJs (Paul Kuenzi, Rufus Gibson, etc.) in the very clearly titled Igloo Music Room. Full schedule and lineup can be found right here.

If you don't already have a ticket, price of admission is $20 at the door. Doors open at 9pm.
