It's that time of year! You probably know the deal: On the 1st of January every year (since 2001!) we do our absolute best to put together an extremely enjoyable event, in the absolute best venue, for a large number of amazing Chicago music-makers and their friends and loved ones, and we ask everyone involved to chip in whatever they can to help make it all happen.

We don't like asking for assistance, but amazing parties do cost money. Especially events as epic as this one! Your generous and greatly appreciated donation will help to cover the event's expenses (including a very long list of party supplies, and the venue costs) and will directly result in a great time being had by all. You will not only get to enjoy the fruits of your contribution when you come to the party, you'll also get to see many old and new friends enjoying it too. It's a wonderful thing. And you’re wonderful for helping out!

Any amount you choose is highly appreciated. You could throw in $5, $20, or even $100 if you're a total badass. Hell - you could even fund the entire party yourself if you wanted to. The amount is totally up to you. Even a small donation is sincerely appreciated. Please donate ASAP if you can!

We all THANK YOU so much! And we can't wait to see you on January 1st!
