BK Meatup’s Naughty Holiday Office Party
FIPs and Brooklyn Based are throwing a naughty holiday office party for the fictitious Home Base Supply Co. (We make it easy to score!). Only unlike real company holiday events, no one is expected to behave on this night. Instead of lame secret Santa gift exchanges, hot & sexy Santas (real-life farmers Michael Grady Robertson of Queens County Farm and Ben Flanner of Greenpoint Rooftop Farm, as well as some surprise hot chicks) will invite the Home Base “staff” to sit in their laps and pose for Christmas card photos. More insanity will insure. Hard drinks (scotch and sodas) from 7 – 8 p.m., and $3 Busch beer all night. Wednesday, December 9. 7 p.m. – 11 p.m. $10 in advance. $15 at the door. 149 7th Street, The Bell House.
