Bisnow presents an 80's Throwback Closing Reception at G-40: The Summit!

Join the Crystal City BID and Art Whino for our closing reception as we swim in the vast glory of all that is 80's with DJ LIL'e on the turntables.

There will be prizes for best 80's outfit, an Atari 2600 Tournament on a giant projection screen with prizes, a break dance competition, and a Michael Jackson Dance Off.

Truth Among Liars will be in the house again to customize your clothing and accessories with their many silkscreen designs. Make sure to bring your items to be customized!

DJ Lil'e on the Wheels of Steel will also be featured at the closing reception.

Resident DJ Lil'e, aka Erin Myers, specializes in rare extended mixes and one-hit wonders whose names have been swallowed by time. Remember Flesh for Lulu, Kon Kan or Anything Box? But Lil'e does not sacrifice a solid dance floor just to showcase her extensive record collection. Lil'e, 32, who started "Right Round" in 2002, focuses on skillful mixing, but she still finds a few moments of each song to step back from her mixer and do a little dancing herself. When she plays at other venues such as Felix or Saint-Ex, Lil'e strays far from the '80s, breaking out underground hip-hop, big beat and assorted electronica.
