In the late 1950′s and 1960′s, progressive social events or “happenings” were cornerstone of a well-to-doer’s social environment. This all went the way of arena rock and boy bands, but for the past several years, one entity has re-positioned the entertainment options for socially progressive individuals.
This new era of “happenings” were realized by the formidable gentlemen in $trick9 & The Truth, producing four of the most entertaining and mind-blowing spectacles seen over the past 50-60 years. In fact, any event featuring $trick9 & The Truth is bound to be the finest event taking place at that moment
But don’t just rely on our words. Here’s a comment from a recent attendee at one of the events…
“Yeah, it was the first time I had drank that much since college. I got really sick. It was completely embarrassing and ruined my date with a co-worker I’d been trying to hook up with for months. But, seriously, the peer pressure was unbelievably intense. I guess for a moment, I felt like one of the cool kids, but then I started hurling all over my date…”
- Steven Brown on his experience at the Spring Hootenanny
Imagine an environment where you are literally transported to a parallel universe and in this parallel universe, you get to enjoy the finest musical and entertainment options around, you’re able to relive those important moments of your life and this time get them right and you’re able to hob-knob and glad-hand the whole night through.
Where would you find such a magical evening of eventfulness? We proudly offer the four quarterly opportunities for just the occasion.
Winter Formal
The Winter Formal is pure radiant light and energy. Love is in the air, even among the coldest and vilest of souls. The Winter Formal is that second chance for you to experience a culmination of youthful social gatherings. Part sock-hop, part mixer, part prom or winter dance, the Winter Formal is all things to all people. As the most formal of the seasonal events, it is customary for individuals to dress to the nines (no pun intended). Ladies in their finest gala attire, gentlemen, please no jeans (Sometimes, this is all we can do, right ladies?). The Master of Ceremonies will whisk you and your date through an amazing night of lasting affection and love. The MC will also crown a king and a queen of the Winter Formal. That’s exciting. (IMPORTANT NOTICE: Neither White Poison Industries nor any of its affiliates are responsible for what you and your stupid friends do among consenting adults. Please behave as adults and with the rational mindset that your actions do have long term consequences…)
Spring Hootenanny
Ever wonder what would happen if you brewed a bathtub of moonshine and had all of your toothless friends come around to play a little banjo? We sure did and in the process realized the brilliance of the Spring Hootenanny. From time to time, you’d like to explore your backwood sensibilities, but with the safety net of not having to worry about blackened teeth or two-a-day training sessions to wrestle critters. The Spring Hootenanny is a rare event that’s just plum honest.
Summer Sausage Fest
Take a hundred pounds of sausage (both vegan and carnivore options available) and accent with sizzling music and German bar wench outfits and you’ve got yourself a Summer Sausage Fest. Honestly, the reputation of sausage festivals in the United States had been tarnished throughout the mid-80′s to early 90′s by lackluster collegiate parties that women wouldn’t be caught dead at. The success of the Summer Sausage Fest was revealed when ample attendees, regardless of gender, packed the venue for an evening of the finest processed meats and groove-heavy tunes. The Summer Sausage Fest also featured a performance from the internationally-known and adored Sausage Girls, who were assembled through a exhausting process where approximately 75 women competed in singing, dancing and other talent duels to produce the most refined five woman dance troupe the area has ever witnessed.
Fall of Humanity
The Fall of Humanity is our opportunity to give back to a community that has given us so much. Over the past few years, proceeds from the Fall of Humanity have gone to benefit the Beacon of Life women’s shelter in Des Moines. It’s also a costume party, so watch for the next Fall of Humanity event and you too can show off your best Rolf the Dog costume for a chance to win an amazing prize and all of the glory of knowing that you’re the best imitation Muppet around.
