Aurora Stoplight Party
Never
heard of a stoplight party? The premise is simple: Attendees are asked
to color coordinate their outfits based on their relationship statuses
(red = pump your breaks, yellow = proceed with caution, green = put your
pedal to the metal). Shots will be doled out generously throughout the
night to keep traffic flowing, meanwhile, the soundtrack will be
provided by Aurora's DJs Pancake Lee, Chozie, and Chong. Free. 10pm.
