Top Ten Reasons to Attend Radioactive Bodega

1. Wearing a fab costume—maybe a lime-green sequined minidress accessorized with combat boots and a bandolier, or a hot yellow haz-mat suit or maybe a mutant zombie outfit.
2. Dancing to really loud music: go ahead and sing along, no one will mind.
3. Amazing post-apocalyptic bodega-esque décor by the crackerjack decorating committee.
4. Fabulous chocolates from Chocolate Springs.
5. Guessing the identities of your fellow party-goers, who will be dressed in outfits quite different from their usual attire, and might even be sporting purple or platinum wigs.
6. Making a splashy entrance at one of the coolest events in the Berkshires.
7. Shopping for incredible stuff in the silent auction and justifying all expenditures because it’s for a good cause.
8. Sampling an array of signature cocktails, including the Meltdown Martini or a Hot Chihuahua.
9. Hot go-go dancers, of course.
10. Supporting our local art school in providing top-notch art classes for children and adults, year-round.

Radioactive Bodega, this year’s gala masquerade fundraiser for IS183 Art School, will be held Saturday, March 6, at 8 p.m. at East Coast Refinishing in Pittsfield; attend just the dance party (lots of tickets left) or start the evening with one of the pre-party dinners beginning at 6 (seats still available at some venues).
