Criscomas
You know how much we love oils and fats at Cakehead. We almost feel like Criscomas is being celebrated in our honor. Leave it to those crazy kids in Williamsburg to come up with this one. Top this Spring Break Florida!
Bring shorty shorts, Crisco, and beer to this slip-and-slide on the rooftop party in deep Williamsburg. Assume that houseparty madness (and oiliness) will ensure. I'm banking on impromptu oil wrestling.
Time: 8:00 pm
Venue: The roof of 248 McKibbin between Bushwick and Humboldt, Williamsburg
Cost: Free
