If you happen to be checking out artist Chad Hopper’s mixed media collages at Paul Slocum’s And/Or Gallery on Saturday night, you’ll probably be wondering why the heck Journey, Styx and Color Me Badd tunes are thumping next door.

Neighbor and indie hot spot House of Dang is hosting Prom 2009 and encouraging partygoers to style it out from any decade. Store owners Andrew Bayer and Doug Voisin promise lots of fun slow jams and party photo taking under a huge balloon arch. In the meantime, they are looking for fun cheese song suggestions. If you have any thoughts we’d love for you to comment and give some feedback so we can forward on to the boys.

And I hear that Paul is meticulously planning a fun outfit for the gallery reception also.

House of Dang, 4219 Bryan Street
