Mad Men Costume Party in Chicago Halloween NIght
There will be a big Mad Men costume party in Chicago on Halloween NIght, Friday October 31st. Here is the website address for the party. Please pass it on to your fellow Mad Men fans in or around the Chicago area. This party will be a blast, there is no admission other than it will be strictly limited to 21 and over dressed in the appropriate Mad Men era clothing. The name of the party is Ghosts of Election Past and will be staged as the party on Election NIght, 1960 that Cooper and Sterling went off to and left the kids to play at the office.
There will be live period music as well as attendees will be encouraged to lip sync their favorite Rat Pack Crooner or Torch Singer. The club already looks period, - ( it was used to film the latest Bon Jovi video where they stop at a retro nightclub) and we are having period Nixon/Lodge posters printed for the walls and I have a feeling that the kids from the office will show up later and cover them with Kennedy posters. There will be prizes for the best Mad Men character outfits. For an example of the type of prizes , lets just say that the best Peggy Olson character will be awarded her very own " Invigorator" to take home. The parking lot immediately in front of the club will be reserved for 1957 - 1963 vintage cars so if you need to check on your Brycreem before you enter the club, you can check out your reflection in all that chrome. Just don't lean on Don's new 62 Coupe DeVille. Here is the website: www.imfxn.com/madmen The spinning cigarette pack on the website is actually the invitation. over 500 candy cigarette boxes were made for the party but they are all gone but there are another 500+ ordered to come by Tuesday, again if you know any big Mad Men fans in the Chicagoland area let them know. This party is in no way done in associated with AMC or Lionsgate. Every year I host a very big Dead Rock Star party at this club on Halloween and after hearing my wife and her friends saying that they would love to do a MadMen themed dress up party, I thought that it sounded like a great idea and I asked the club owners what they thought of the change of plans this year and what do you know, the owners are big MadMen fans and were excited about the idea. Even I was a little skeptical of the idea at first but I have since discovered just how widespread and intense the MM fan base has already become. Just one last comment. The website should be updated with more info by noon on the 24th. thx. - Frederick Rumson
Hi FreddyR.!
Your party sounds like a great idea...makes me wish I was in Chicago!
I love the "dead rock stars" Halloween theme!! Very clever!
This just sounds like the BEST FUN! I don't even LIKE Halloween, but I'd do this to come to your party!
If you post the pictures taken that evening, link us up!
Have a great time! I'll certainly be thinking of you all!
How fun!
Hope you bring along yr musical zipper! hehe
......The only thing better than a Mad Men Halloween in Chicago is a MM Halloween in New York!
Sounds like a riot - can someone get pictures and maybe post a link or something?
Is anyone attending from this forum besides FreddyRumsen?
What episode was the musical zipper from? I consider myself a hardcore MM fan and I can't remember that scene. But if you come to the party I will guarantee you I will wet myself on stage... several times, I just need to finish engineering my aparatus. Awww Geeez, I swear I'll be good as new by Monday !
Yes, I will post all the pictures on Flickr and I will shoot some HD video and will post that too but I will probably have to use my own server to post the HD. Check back on the party website about November 8th and I should have them up.
Freddy - remember on Jane's first day when Freddy came out and played Mozart on his zipper?
OH I WISH I COULD BE THERE! Are you going to fill a water cooler with creme de menthe and puke in the trash cans? Tell Harry to wear a condom and to put his glasses on his desk where they won't be broken.
You know it just hit me that Joel Murray ( Freddy ) was born in Chicago, ( Bill Murray;s brother- Duh ) does anyone know where he lives now? It says he runs the CaddyShack restaurant but there are several of those. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we could get him to make a surprise appearance? Bill Murray is always in town to catch the Cubs so maybe mom is still alive and they stop in to visit.
Awwww....dang, I wish I lived in the Windy City!
Ya'll have a blast. Happy Early Halloween!
Wow, this sounds great. Lip sync to rat pack songs?...my life would be complete. Have a drink for me and go easy on those candy cigarettes! Fill us in on the details, we would love to hear how it goes. Chicago, you guys rock. Cheers!!
If anyone is dressing as Peggy, be sure to bring your vacuum! lol
Happy Early Halloween!
= - )
I don't really dig Halloween, but this is one party I'd dress up for. If you go as Peggy, be sure to wear those motorized undergarments she tried out in season 1, lolol!
Libby, that is the prize for best Peggy costume, thanks for ruining the surprise ! just kidding, are you in Chicago?
This party sounds terrific.
BTW, if you're going to rock n roll in Halloween Costume Party, perhaps you could submit your spookylicious photo in your coolest costume to following Halloween Costume Photo contest. You might win a Sony Digital Photo Printer. :D
