Tickets start at $10
The Alter Egos Society’s Hero/Villain Ceasefire is soon to return for a fifth year. On November 12 at 8pm, heroes, villains, sidekicks, minions, and ambivalent masterminds alike will set aside their weaponized superpowers and their moral differences for a single night of drinking, dancing, and superpowered high-fives. Our annual Ceasefire event is half party, half charity fundraiser for our favorite non-profit group, p:ear.
At this year’s Hero/Villain Ceasefire event you’ll be serenaded by nerdy and saucy sister act The Doubleclicks, and the autonomous android duo Robot Uprise will bring the dance tunes. Don your best spandex and tights for the chance to win one of several Costume Contest categories, or toughen up your trigger finger for a few rounds of appropriately themed classic console games provided by Ground Kontrol. And pick up a string of raffle tickets while you’re there... our raffle prizes often exceed $100 retail value per prize, and contain goodies like comic books, board games, and gift certificates. Full bar and food menu provided by our hosts Ella St. Social Club.
If you plan on attending the Ceasefire, we request that you attend costumed as a superhero or super villain of your own creation. It’s okay if you don’t have a solid origin story or your mask is a little loose, we won’t judge! But creative costuming is at the core of the Alter Egos Society; after all “wearing tights and capes, having fun for a better world” is our motto! And remember: it’s for the children.
Tickets are available online, and we offer a variety of event packages as incentive to help us raise even more money for p:ear. Admission start at $10 and goes on to include Alter Egos Society tshirts and dvds, sponsor swag, and even a professional photoshoot! You can purchase tickets online at alteregossociety.com/buy-ceasefire-tickets. Proceeds from the evening--including ticket sales, raffle entries, DVDs of our original short film, Archives of the Fantastic, and more--will be donated to the Alter Egos Society’s favorite organization, p:ear.
The Alter Egos Society Hero/Villain Ceasefire is limited to ages 21+ due to the nature of the event.
