TML Holiday Party

Join us for the Too Much Love holiday party this weekend! When you're done doing whatever it is you have to do, get on the First Ave dance floor and warm up with a three-turntable set from Naughty Wood, plus a best of '09 set from Sovietpanda (Peter Lansky).

If that weren't enough to heal whatever wounds family-time has inflicted, we're giving away free pairs of tickets to First Avenue shows!  Show up to TML in your ugliest (holiday) sweater, and you could win free entry to up to three First Ave concerts.  We have prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
