Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Guerrillas!

It's summer, so it's time for some airy costumes designed for warm weather...

It's time to pay homage to a classic costume in new and exciting ways...

Time for a fashion icon to come out of the fraternity closet...

It's time for Guerrilla Masquerade Party to celebrate that most simple, most versatile, most last-minute of all costumes... THE TOGA!

On Saturday, July 22nd at 10pm, come on out for FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN

Lend us your ears, and wear something ancient. Maybe you've dreamed of being a Roman Centurion? Perhaps you always wanted to see your wife dress as Cleopatra to your Mark Antony? Do you and your boyfriend have fantasies about being Viking Warriors? Make it all come true!

Does your inner philosopher beg to be free? Wanna dress up like Plato, Socrates, or Aristotle? Or are you more the goddess type? Aphrodite, Athena, or Artemis strike your fancy?

Do you miss your Mummy? Give King Tut a resurrection for the night!

Whether you prefer a Parthenon, a Pyramid, or Plundering wenches, get yourselves ready for a night of classical fun.

And where would a bunch of ancient conquerors, philosophers, gods and goddesses be most at home? We think the cobblestone streets of Paris.

Join us Saturday, July 22nd at 10pm at Cafe Metropolitain - 1701 E. Olive Way. It's a new(ish) bar across the street from B&O Espresso, and the owners took their thematic decorating seriously. From the fountain in the entryway to the strings of lights to the faux storefronts to the wine-barrel tables, this place is amazing. A perfect stage for a bunch of costumed partyers, we think. Plus, they have amazing drink specials, friendly staff, free pool and foosball, and plenty of space to let your toga flow.

Need help pulling together a toga-riffic outfit? Need some inspiration? Check out what is most likely the most exhaustive, emphatic 'Hot to Make a Toga' site ever!

 
Cafe Metropolitain is located at 1701 E. Olive Way, right on the corner of Boylston and E. Olive, on Capitol Hill. .
