foreveryoungmn:

You are only young once, but memories are forever. Remember when you ran a comb through your hair, wet with saliva for your school photo and then waited all year to see you and your friends in a leather bound book? Now you can experience both at once. Get your portrait taken and sign your photos from the past Forever Young parties.

Tonight will be the last dance party in the basement of the VFW. Forever Young has outgrown the steamy, sweaty basement and will be moving to a bigger venue. On May 25, Forever Young will be at the First Avenue Main Room for Prom. Don’t miss final basement party!

Dance to the music you forgot you loved to dance to. Music like Ginuwine, Outkast, Daft Punk, Ashanti, Justin Timberlake, Ja Rule, Snoop Dogg, Aaliyah, Blink 182…
