WE ARE ALREADY AT 123 ENTRANTS AS OF 5PM SATURDAY 12/16. WE ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING. I WISH WE COULD TAKE MORE BUT OUR AGREEMENT WITH ALL PARTIES INVOLVED WAS BASED ON OUR 123 THEME NUMBERS.

WITH THE DATE BEING A ONCE IN A LIFETIME SET OF CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS (1-2-3. 1-2-3) WE HAVE DECIDED TO HOST AN EVENT THAT REVOLVES AROUND THOSE NUMBERS:

1:23 PM
123 PERSON CAP
(**2.46MI FOR THOSE WITHOUT A CALCULATOR) YES WE KNOW FOR SOME OF YOU THIS IS JUST NOT LONG ENOUGH- SO YOU CAN EVEN GO FARTHER AROUND THIS GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD, ON YOUR OWN. BUT REST ASSURED WE WILL BE SAFELY INSIDE, SIPPING CHAMPAGNE, TO WELCOME YOUR RETURN!

WE WILL BE GIVING YOU WINTER HATS. NO SHIRTS (BUT YOU CAN WEAR ONE IF YOU WANT).
