About this event
Ticket Information for Pindustry:
- $18 Entry into Pindustry to Dance: $15 plus $3 surcharge. These Entry Tickets will sell out very soon! The website just posted No Refunds.
- $33 Entry into Pindustry to Dance plus $3 surcharge starting Christmas Day, if it doesn't sell out.
- Also, they won't let you come and go. This means you can't go in there and leave your coats on a table, then go out for dinner and try to get back in. They only let you in once. That's why it's not as crowded as a Friday night. People leave early or don't show up at all, so I don't think its that bad except the tables are all reserved - no place to put your coat or purse.
- Note: Entry tickets must be purchased through Pindustrydirectly and please do this very soon before it sells out!
SCHEDULE:
- 6:00 PM – PARKING - If You Plan on Drinking at the Rio or want a good parking space at Pindustry then come meet me at Pindustry and I’ll drive you over to the Rio for dinner & drinks and back to Pindustry. I hope that makes sense, but that way you aren't drinking and driving from the Rio to Pindustry. Email me early, 72 hours at the latest, if you are interested in doing this so I can figure out drivers. I don’t mind being the designated driver, but I need to know minimum three days in advance.
- 6:30 PM - DINING - Meet those that want to dine or enjoy margaritas at the Rio Grande Restaurant, 9535 Park Meadows Dr, Lone Tree, CO 80124. DINNER RESERVATIONS are under "UP THE CREEK."
They have got the best margaritas in town! If you want to be included in my table reservation, “Up the Creek” let me know the sooner the better. I will give the restaurant my final count three days prior.
- 8:45ish PM - DANCING - Meet at Pindustry,7939 E. Arapahoe Road, Englewood, CO.
- Pindustry doors open at 6:00 PM. We won’t be reserving a table, just dancing so why not show up when the band is about to play.
- DJ: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
- 8:45ish is when people that were at the Rio plan on arriving
- That 80s Band: 9:00 PM - 12:30 AM
- Theme: A Great Gatsby New Year
- Attire: Anything from blue jeans to cocktail attire to sequins—just keep in mind you’ll be dancing, so avoid heavy coats or anything too warm. The theme is Gatsby so they are hoping Gatsby attire but many people didn’t want to dress up like that two years ago. Many women did wear beautiful blouses and slacks or cocktail attire but I saw jeans too.
- Coats/Purses: No place to store them, so please leave them in your car.
My Thoughts: I recommend enjoying a relaxed dinner at the Rio Grande “the Rio” then heading to Pindustry right when the band starts playing and dancing the night away. Last New Year’s, it wasn’t too crowded because the place was sold out so they wouldn’t let walk-ins come in. However, there were quite a bit of no shows. Therefore, I don’t think this will be as packed as it is on a normal Friday Happy Hour. Just guessing.
Looking forward to celebrating the New Year with everyone!
Remember – let me know if you plan on going to the Rio – otherwise I’ll just see you at Pindustry.
Sincerely,
Corinna
