Take Over Bam is tonight

I forgot I bought tickets for this...should be a fun field trip...now if I can only get over my horrible hangover from last night's shananagans at Santos.....

TAKEOVER

Sat, Sep 27, 9pm—4am
$20 in advance, $25 (cash only) at the door

TAKEOVER returns this fall for a second sleepless night. Four bands, selected by Sufjan Stevens, keep the Opera House full, while four movie marathons screen in the cinemas. DJs spin all night long, setting the beat for a nonstop dance party in BAMcafé, while video art, cheap beer, and endless diversions take you from dusk 'til dawn.
