40 Years ago, America's Apollo astronauts landed on the moon. At the time it was hailed as history's greatest achievement in human technology - Today, I encourage all Americans to celebrate this monumental achievement with an EPIC space party. Here's how to throw one..
Step 1: Bump Awesome Space Music
The first step in throwing an epic space party is bumping kick-ass space tunes.
I’m pretty sure people in space listen to David Bowie, so this is what you should play at your space party if you want it to be awesome.
Disco Tech Rosy Records Shop
1257 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608
This is Chicago’s #1 space music retailer.

Step 3: Supply guests with Space Snacks
If you’re throwing a space party, you gotta have appropriate space related snacks. Astronaut ice cream is always a favorite and you can never go wrong with Tang and Milky Way Bars.
Candy Institute
3411 W Diversey Ave Ste 10, Chicago, IL 60647
Get a PhD in High Fructose Corn Syrup as well as all your space age snacks at this place in Bucktown.

Step 6: Leave out extra Tin Foil around your apartment
In case some of your friends don’t have costumes as epic as yours, leave extra tin foil out. You’ll be amazed at how creative they can be when they’ve had a few drinks.
Space Tip: Tin foil + toilet paper rolls make an excellent laser gun. byoo! byoo! byoo!
Step 8: Space Costume Contest
What’s great about a space party is that “space” is pretty much open to interpretation. Anything from Darth Vader to a flying space monkey works.
Here are a few space costume ideas to get your creative juices flowing…
Trekkies
Classic Geek!
Space robot
A BLACK HOLE
Everything in the universe is attracted to a black hole, especially when it is busting out awesome space-dance moves like this one.
Go as Robot Chicken
This would be pretty sweet.. If you know what Robot Chicken is, you are cool.
Save Pluto Picketer
Get Creative; go as Office SPACE
And Last But Not Least...
Step 9: Always Be prepared
Make sure you have plenty of space condoms on hand. When the ladies see your sweet Wookie costume, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have lots of sex.
Step 2: Transform your house into Planet Awesome
The glow in the dark stars you still have on your ceiling from when you were nine, will make excellent decorations at your space party. Peel them off your ceiling and re-paste them in your parent’s living room. Make sure to take these off before your parents come home (this last step not necessary if you live in your own apartment)
Uncle Fun
1338 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
If you’re going to find glow in the dark stars, you’ll probably find it at Uncle Fun. This place has more novelty and kitsch items than you can shake a stick at.

Step 4: Place a marker outside your house to indicate where the awesome is...
The best marker is a real spaceship or a human astronaut. You will likely have a hard time obtaining either of these items. No problem, You can make your own spaceship out of Tin foil + a ford ranger. see here
Step 5: Arrive in Style
It’s your party. You better have a kick-ass Space costume on.
Ragstock
1433 N Milwaukee Ave Ste 1, Chicago, IL 60642
This thrift shop has plenty of good stuff for Space Costumes. There’s also a location in Lakeview.

Step 7: Space Dancing is a must.
At 12:00 Midnight announce a moonwalk-off.
Your guests will do their best moonwalk in a competition and win fabulous prizes (fabulous prizes being tang and Milky Ways) Those not competing will laugh at your friends’ drunken attempts to imitate MJ.
Dorby Magoo & Co
2744 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Get your moonwalk instructional videos here. This place has more Michael Jackson paraphanelia than you can shake a stick at. For real. It’s kinda crazy.

Rosie the Maid (from the Jetsons)
Chewbaca (or an angry Beaver?)
Dippin Dots, the Ice Cream of the Future
I don’t know how you’d make this costume but I’m thinking it would involve lots of super glue and a trip to the Chucky Cheese ball pit.
BLACK HOLE, RED DWARF, SPACE COWBOY
Too poor to afford tin foil? Do what I do: Recycle your Christmas costume and go as a Red Dwarf.
Go as the Future (circa 1983)
