What exactly is HUSH After Dark?

It’s a 21+ silent dance party inside Gainesboro Modern.

Everyone gets wireless headphones with three DJ managed music channels to choose from. Switch between them whenever you want, ask the DJ for your favorite, and dance while everyone around you may be listening to something completely different.

Saturday, October 3 | 7–11 PM
Tickets are $60 per person and include food, two drink tickets, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, access to the HUSH Lounge—and your headphones for the night.

And HUSH After Dark is also where we’ll wrap up the 2nd Annual Naming of the Snails.

Bidding to name our four glowing museum snails opens October 1 and closes during HUSH After Dark on October 3, when the winning names will be announced.

So yes—you can spend the night dancing in silence while bidding for the right to name a giant glowing snail.

Tickets are on sale now, and bidder registration is open. Find both on our Events page — https://www.gainemod.org/events
