Anything ghost 👻 in October at DILF: Night of the Living DAD on Saturday, Oct 5th, starting at 9pm! If you've got IT, fl-haunt IT, by wearing and werkin' your costume concepts out and about to knock 'em undead. 🧟

Moose the DJ will be spinning his 😱 mysterious mixes, keeping the tunes flesh... er, fresh all night long! Even if you're just here for the dads 👨🏽 and the boos 👻 (it's just like you to know where to find those), you'll have a decay-dent, DILF-y time that'll leave you deceased! 🪦🪦🪦
