Bid bon voyage to summer with your pals the Alibi this Saturday, Sept. 12. We’re throwing a maritime-themed dance party with ’70s and ’80s soft rock out the yin-yang. Come dressed as a salty dog, Moby Dick, Jacques Cousteau, a pirate … any oceanic costume that allows you to swim freely and shake "yarr booty." The Universal DJs Eve, Jessica, Bea and Grey man the jams, guaranteed to have 50 percent more yachts than your average Saturday night playlist—or your money back! Doors open at Burt’s Tiki Lounge (313 Gold SW, 21+, free) at 9 p.m.
