Times of uncertainty call for unbridled revelry, so why not do this New Years Eve up in thematic style and support a fabulous cause, Lifelong AIDS Alliance, at the Oddfellows Hall (915 E. Pike) for As the World Falls Down, a masquerade ball inspired by Jim Hensons cult classic, Labyrinth. Your ticket price will include a labyrinth (but of course), installations, puppets, art, photography, dance, catering from Skillet, enough booze to bathe in, DJs Darek Mazzone, FrankenHeart and Riff Raff, and some of the lands most fabulous drag performers costumed for the occasion. To recount in a commercial holiday fashion: Endless taste sensations from Skillet: $25. All the booze you can keep down: $25. Dancing til your legs give out: $25. Professionally photographed memories of it all: $25. Watching trannies reenacting your favorite over the top Bowie flick: priceless. Please note, however, that admission includes neither a teenage Jennifer Connelly, nor David Bowies impressive Spandex-wrapped member. MA'CHELL DUMA LAVASSAR
