In case you've ever wondered what some of the terms and phrases on
Club flyers really mean...
=

and near dark conditions weren't difficult enough already

ordinance kicks in, which ever comes first

attention to our flyer

spin "Everyday is Halloween" and claim they didn't hear it when the
other DJs played it
