There will be secret decoder rings involved. Seriously. They’re arriving next week.\n \n\nThe evening will mostly be about celebrating the new year and meeting old and new friends\, with a dash of some silliness.

Learn more when you arrive.\nWishes for the New Year – bring your best wishes for how we might imagine the world a brighter\, more marvelous place\, and we’ll send them off into the wind together.\nTwelfth Night Cake – find one of the prizes in the cake and be crowned King or Queen of 12th Night\, supported by the Master of Revels and enjoying the mischief of the Lord of Misrule.\n\nSnapdragon – do you have the courage to grab the flaming raisin? An ancient bit of parlor magic that tastes divine.\n\nChestnuts. Roasting. Open fire. Seriously.\nLeague of Spillian Revelers Initiation – choose to join the League and become initiated (and the proud owner of a secret decoder ring to decode secret messages to special events and offers).\n\nThe Details \n\n7 PM – 1 PM (We’ll be doing some of the serious celebration early for those of you who like to celebrate New Year’s arrival somewhat earlier than midnight…and for the diehards\, we’ll be reveling on.)\n\n$50/person for the evening\, including dinner and champagne.
