The NMO Mardi Gras party will be this Tuesday night, March 8th. It will be an outrageous evening. Bring a New Orleans type potluck dish to share BUT a fun finger food would also be just fine. We would love to see you all dressed in some form of costume (but it is not required); street clothes are fine. We will have great prizes for best costumes (sexiest, most outrageous, etc.). And of course we have dozens of beads to give away to guys that want to "earn" them. And dance music all evening long. Soft drinks will be served but BYOB if you wish (drink responsibly). This will NOT be your typical NMO potluck evening !!! The party starts at 7 pm with the potluck starting around 7:30 pm.
