That’s right — happening on Thursday, February 2, the “most legendary nightclub” is having a Shrek-themed party, and it won’t be “no medi-ogre party.”
So instead of being “the most fun you can have with your boots on,” it’ll be the most fun you can have with your… Shrek costume on? Shreks will also get in free in case that’s more incentive to throw on your brightest green paint.
