Celebration PARTY LIKE IT’S 1980-SOMETHING R emember leg warmers? Rubik’s Cubes? Pac-Man? How about John Hughes movies, boom boxes and when MTV played music?

There will be 80s-inspired surprises and appearances throughout the night, as well as classic 80s photo ops (think Top Gun and Michael Jackson).
