The Ivy Plus Society young Alum Party
SKY BAR
The Mondrian Hotel
8440 Sunset Blvd.
West Hollywood, 90069
$12/ person through 11.14.08, $15 thereafter
Advance RSVP Required
OK, we know we’ve been here before, but it’s like a favorite outfit – hard to resist wearing again. Sky Bar is just that good. So, we wanted one more Sky Bar Dance before the year ends. The vibe is fantastic, the party is absolutely brimming, and the view is gorgeous. So, come join all your favorite alumni friends at Sky Bar for a TIPS classic. We’ll have the upper cabana and pool area all to our special selves, making this a smashing Sunset night to remember.
Skybar, with its open air, ivy-covered pavilion perched above the Pool and Outdoor Living Room, has been one of Los Angeles hottest nightspots from the day it opened. With its simple tin roof, rustic log beams and “schoolhouse” style wood furniture, it appears to almost float in the clouds, and boasts some of the finest views in all of Los Angeles.
Last time we hit Sky Bar, we had 400 alums in the house, so make sure to sign up early so you don’t miss any of the fun.
Advance RSVP Required: Please click here
Deadline: When we reach capacity.
$12/ person through 11.14.08, $15 thereafter through close of registration
Sky Bar has a very strict door policy, so best to be on our magic list to avoid all door drama. Once you RSVP, you will receive confirmation from PayPal via email, but no actual physical ticket. You will automatically be placed on our guest list and the Sky Bar security will have that list. Your guests will use your name to get in (as your +1, etc.). We do not need their names.
*You and your guests must be 21 to attend & plan to drink responsibly. Designate a driver & no drinking and driving. DUIs and death are no way to kick off the spring party season. When we say ‘killer party’ – that’s not meant to be an instruction.
*No refunds or cancellations permitted
