NMF Dance With The Dead

What is it?
NMF Dance With The Dead Fall Fundraiser
Celebrate the amazing artists that have passed in 2016, with tunes spun by DJ Jon Mooneyham exclusively from those who left us this year. We encourage you to dress up as your favorite passed artists of any era! Or just dress to impress. Either way, we’ll have some prizes for a couple of you that look the best.

Where is it?
The Chouse, 717 West Boyd Street, in Norman, Oklahoma. Built in 1926, this building was the former home of St Thomas More Catholic Church, and now exists as a private home and an occasional event venue.

How much does it cost?
We have a few options:
Basic door entry – $15
Want a DWTD commerative shirt? – add $20
Want free admission? – Buy an NMFX VIP membership for $100 and get in free, PLUS get main stage front access, food, drink, shirt, poster, and sticker at NMFX in April. Value Bargain!

Total ticket sales are limited to 125 and will sell fast! Buy your ticket now here!

Other details?
DANCE! We can dance, if we want to.
Raffles! It’s a fundraiser, and we’ll be raffling a few things to raise funds.
