PARTIES & NIGHTLIFE

Clown Town
I recently reviewed Kye Grant’s Club Alive, a genre-fluid performance party, and learned that the artist is a cultural force to be reckoned with. Naturally, they’ve got big plans for Halloween. CLOWN TOWN invites attendees to define their clown identity and dress up in “weird, sexy, funny, vintage,” and/or otherwise freaky nose-honking fashions. (You might win a cash prize if your clown costume is really elaborate.) Kye will MC while DJs Lapaushi, Chaach, and Anuu get your giant shoes thumping. LINDSAY COSTELLO
