Brooklyn based performance collective A Collection of Shiny Objects hosts NERD PROM 2: HEROES ‘N’ HEELS. A themed party the Saturday before Halloween to celebrate the great “nerd” heroes: in capes and spandex, corsets and stilettos or all of the above. Attendees are encouraged to come in costume for the costume contest. Event will be hosted by Adam Lerman of the The Harmonious Pimps of Harmony. Brooklyn based acts that are scheduled to appear include Lost Gloves, Nathan Leigh and the Traveling Salesman, and Joe’s Pub regular Molly Pope.
