Raising money is hard. Partying is also hard, in the sense that it is something we do hard. You know, when we’ve had enough sleep the night before. Before we were Piehole, we were just the last people to leave the party you didn’t invite us to. In honor of this legacy, and to advocate for a fundraising model that suggests we exchange entertainment and memories for your generous donations, we are throwing our third ever Piehole fundraiser party! If you were lucky enough to have been hanging out with us on one of the best nights of our collective lives, you might have been at our last party: “Hole Up: A Piehole Social.” We cozied up into the church basement of our New England-y dreams, and watched our favorite New England bands magically transported into the bodies of our favorite local New York bands. We danced and danced and ruined some fine vintage dresses with whipped cream pies.

That was almost two years ago, and while it’s true that trying to have fun during an election year can seem emotionally risky, we’re gonna do it again. We’re gonna party. And we want you to come. Actually, let’s be honest - we need you to come. We won’t have fun without you. I mean, no pressure but...come hang out with us in our teen center/ski lodge/romantic novel!!!! Why is it a teen center/ski lodge/romantic novel? What do those three things have to do with each other? Hopefully we’ll raise enough moolah at the party to finish the show so we can all find out! In the mean time, we can tell you a couple of things it means:

​
1. It means a bunch of adult-somethings will give in to their primal teen-something urges and present us with FRANKEN-TEEN COVER BANDS! Unholy monsters of angst, hormones, and teen idols: Lesley Gore in the style of The Runaways (RUNAWAY GORE!), Minor Threat in the style of The Violent Femmes (VIOLENT THREAT!), and Hanson in the style of Sam Cooke (HANSAM COOKE!), performed by inimitable Sam Cooke tributionist Ronald Peet. All the indecision and noise you thought you’d grow out of but never did!!

2. 
It means you will be guided through the evening by Ikechukwu Ufomadu (of Ike at Night) and Brendan Thomas Crowley, Byronic comedic icons, who might award you PRIZES PRIZES PRIZES for top-notch party behavior.

3. 
It means your favorite 7-train journey through sexual majesty, L’Amour Bleu, will be doing something they said would be “on theme” and I’m worried.

4. It means spiritual advisor Jess Goldschmidt
will be creating a special I’m Okay You’re Okay haven for your teenage soul.

5. It means that we will dance like the weird kids in school right up until our curfew!

6. 
It means you will have the opportunity to bid on PRIZES PRIZES PRIZES in our famous raffle! Yes, some lucky bastard WILL get to attack us with pies again! And yes, we will have beautiful handmade jewelry, art, pottery, a wine tour voucher (yeah we're not such slobs afterall) and more!!

7. It means you can honor the greatest fundraising tradition of them all, YE OLDE BAKE SALE!

8. It means you can just lounge around after a tough day on the slopes and talk to your friends if you want. Relax, man!
