#NewSpot
As you can assume from the title, the vinyasa class is a bit more fast-paced than & a killer workout. 60-minutes of moving and breathing with intention, all while hip-hop/R&B songs play in the background. AKA everything you love about yoga, but with better background music! Plus, as always we end the night with Happy Hour.
Come to Studio 54oo for the Pretty Girls Trap N Paint party!! Located at 5504-5506 Troost, painting will be led by Dr. Auburn Aesthetic founder of Studio 54oo. This party will feature a live DJ, trap music, and time for creative paint play! Self directed, or guided paint options available. 

MUSIC BY THE LEGENDARY DJ Q
The Beast claws its way annually to hold the title of one of the scariest haunted houses in the U.S. Visitors get a 4D experience winding their way through its open format design, experience dramatic scenes to escape the lurking threats of voodoo, a live alligator, werewolves and other angry monsters. The warehouse floors of thrills include a dynamic scare cast, special effects, holograms, and more. 

The Edge of Hell sits at 666’ above sea level but takes visitors through the depths of hell in its multi-story haunted house. Edge of Hell has carved the tradition of Halloween haunts with its 4-plus decades of operations - giving visitors a reason to return every year with its frightening updates. The haunt features phobias and a five-story fright from heaven to hell plus the world’s record, longest, living snake. Rat Man, vampires, and the devil on hand in your path by purgatory, hounds of hell, and stone-cold crypts.

#ForTheKCulture

In the new young adult novel “A Blade So Black,” the main character, Alice, doesn't have long blonde hair, and the other side of the looking glass isn't a place full of innocently quirky tea parties...
​This KCSaaS event will bring startup leaders with open opportunities together with quality, diverse candidates for an engaging presentation on diversity and inclusion and relationship building.
