If you find yourself suffering from post-Valentine’s Day blues this Friday, and feel like stapling your hand to your forehead, you should head over to the South End for the Saint Valentines Day Gothic Ball.

This is going to be a cool party in one of my favorite venues: the Villa Victoria. Originally constructed in 1898 as a Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, the building is now called the Jorge Hernandez Cultural Center (a.k.a. the Villa Victoria) and it's used as a function hall and performance space. It's a great space for parties.

If you've never attended an event there, I highly recommend checking it out. It's not every day you get to dance in a historic church building.

The Saint Valentines Day Gothic Ball features DJ addambombb, who'll be spinning a mix of 80's new wave, triphop, synth/futurepop, goth, industrial, and electro music.

There's also going to be tarot card readings, artwork, vendors, dark angels go-go dancing in cages, and an exotic black light contortionist (!).

It starts at 9 p.m., and valet parking will be available (which is very cool, considering the South End's parking scene). The event is 18+, and tickets can be purchased in advance here.
