PARTY:
Natal da Ursal @ Casa da Matriz (Botafogo) – One of the biggest memes of the Brazilian presidential election is back for Christmas at Casa da Matriz. That’s right, URSAL Christmas is coming to Botafogo this Christmas eve.
On the first dancefloor there will be plenty of ‘rock-marxist indoctrination’ with DJ Grazzia Bolchevique (Rockbash / Sex Tape) and DJ Beto Artista. On the second dancefloor, prepare for the ‘revolutionary anti-faith funk trotskista’ with DJ Luana Che Paiva and DJ Iggor Fidel Arehnds. There will be plenty of themed surprises such as free shots of tequila, pole dancing, retro video gaming, and ping pong.
Tickets are between R$10-R$20 and the night gets going at a minute to midnight.
