Yuri's night space party at Artisphere tonight

Dance for the Dying

52 years ago last night was the anniversary of the first manned space flight by Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. To celebrate, there are countless space themed parties and events all over the world every year.

Tonight, Saturday April 13, Artisphere in Rosslyn is holding a Yuri's Night party. The night includes live music by Dance for the Dying, a two part "The Search for Drinkbot" burlesque show and a costume contest.

The night lasts from 8pm with a moonbounce, art on display and bar and goes until 2am. Tickets are $30. I might go just for the "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot" tournament!
