About this Event

If you’re reading this it’s because you have a friend that either thinks you’re the coolest, loves to party with you, or thinks you bring great energy everywhere you go. 😎

If you weren't personally invited yet, then consider this to be your personal invitation!

Say "Marcos invited me at the door," and you're in!

This event is, “Friend of a Friend”.



How It Works

To attend Friend of a Friend all you have to do is 2 things.

  1. Be invited by a friend and say their name at the door. (to get in)
  2. Invite a friend and have that friend invite a friend.

I invited 50 people and those 50 people all invited at least 1 friend.

The venue holds a capacity of 150 friends, so let’s get the word out and make this a night that we can all cherish.
