While festivities took place all weekend long, tomorrow marks the actual day of Halloween. Q101, in conjunction with Rocktown Grill, has come up with a way to keep those scantily clad individuals out of the cold.

 “Everyone is going to be in costume,” said Rich Kelsey, an employee at Q101. “There will be a costume contest judged by Q101, with $250 going to the first place winner, $100 to the second, and $50 to the third.”

Also making an appearance will be a hypnotist, who will be pulling people up onstage in front of the whole club to make them do ridiculous things for the sake of entertainment. There will be psychic readings by Angela, and one lucky VIP will receive a psychic gift basket, which will be decided by Angela herself.

“We’ve put a lot of money into this event,” said Kelsey. “What makes it different from other Halloween parties is that is a huge joint effort between Rocktown Grill and Q101. It really is a big event, with drink specials, street team and tons of prizes.”

Listen to to get upgraded to “Exotic VIP” status, a special privilege which will be awarded on-air on Monday.

“With Halloween falling on a Tuesday this year, it’s good that someone had the idea to plan a huge party,” said senior Sean Sullivan. “I think it sounds like it would be a lot of fun, especially taking into consideration the amount of money going to be given away during the costume contest.”

Q101 will be at Rocktown Grill from 8 p.m. to midnight, broadcasting live from 9 to 11 p.m.  Admission is free before 9 p.m. with a showing of a JAC Card, and standard admission rates applying after that.  Over $500 in cash and prizes will be up for grabs.
