Michael Jackson, FREE Drinks, Face Painting and a Photo Booth at Trigger

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

This sounds like one hell of an event.  In honor of Michael Jackson’s birthday (which was yesterday I think) the weekly Monday party, Testarossa is throwing an MJ themed night.  Not only do you get a FREE margarita if you show up before 11pm, but there will also be FREE face painting, a FREE photo booth, and the bartenders will all be dressed like it’s the 80’s.  Hell, everyone probably will be.  Plus, considering it’s at Trigger, I’d bet there’s gonna be some male go-go dancers.  Let’s just hope those boys haven’t kept their bikini lines looking like it’s the 80’s!   Peep this description of tonight’s party from yelp, it’s really well done:

Imagine yourself…walking into a decked out 80’s theme party. VJ’s Don Lynch and Mark Andrus are on the tables playing all of your favorite 80’s songs, and projecting the music videos on a huge screen. You walk up to the bar, and since it isn’t yet 11pm, you say the secret words to your favorite 80’s character dressed as a bartender, who then gives you a free frozen strawberry margarita! You move on to see what Trigger and Testarossa Mondays have in store for you, only to stumble upon FREE FACE PAINTING! You of course came prepared in costume, but Oliver Twist can only make your night more interesting. And what better to way to capture this moment than with the Svedka INSTANT photo booth?! Too bad it costs…NOTHING! That’s right. You’re in for the night of your life.

Just in case you’re wondering, the secret password to get your FREE strawberry margarita is “Beat It”.  To be honest though, it would be awesome if their special drink of the night was an alcoholic version the Michael Jackson.
