Awesome Laser to Return to HALLOWKEENE!

Former Keenevention Tech Panel participant Bill Domenico will be setting up his “Green Beam” laser again at this year’s HALLOWKEENE costume dance party! The original Green Beam was actually green, but this newer version does multiple colors and is super-awesome. It was a big hit at last year’s HALLOWKEENE and will be even better this year as our new venue will allow a fog machine!

The new venue will also allow us to stay 90 minutes later than our previous year’s. HALLOWKEENE 2015 is Saturday October 31st 8:00p-1:30a (here’s a facebook event).
