vised of the dress code (see below) and the mandate to move your
feet to the beats.


.. --- .. FAQ .. --- ..


?Where the hell is it??

5509 S. Hyde Park Blvd. #3 (Look for the buzzer labeled "Moomers.?)
Rumor has it there?s actually a stage...


?What the hell is Gothic Funk??

Sponsorship, mayhem, tribute, parties...What is it not? The manifesto, in all of
its rhetorical glory, may be found at: http://gothicfunk.topcities.com/gf3m.html

Or, if you?re so inclined, you may search your deepest self for the answer...


?What on earth will I wear??

Here?s a rubric regarding the dress code:
http://gothicfunk.topcities.com/gf3d.html

Naturally, on this occasion, we especially encourage the presence of doctors,
nurses, candy stripers, and mental ward escapees.



?How can I make this thing even more freakishly awesome than it?s already
bound to be??

First, you can BYOB. We?ll get you started, and we?ll provide mixers, but
your habits will probably outpace our provisions (you lush, you). So bring it
if you?ve got it!

Second, feel free to contribute to the theme in any (safe) way you can imagine.
Have you been hiding your glorious medical illustrations in the basement, for
fear of the all-seeing eyes and pitiless mouths of critics? Did you steal a
gurney from the hospital during last year?s Scavhunt? Bring it if you?ve
got it. Also, anyone with an intimate knowledge of Hyde Park music, Gothic
Funk, and/or the wide world of medicine is encouraged to submit multiple choice
questions (and answers) to astaab@gmail.com, for inclusion on the impending
midterm.


This PARTY is graciously brought to you by: the Occlusion Group, available at
