House of Yes is about to get real loud, packed, and BLACK.

You already know we got the grill going, and you can always count on BBB [https://www.instagram.com/beyondtheblackbox/] to bring the vibes. Community Mural, Ancestor Room, Tarot, Tooth Gems, Games, and so much more. This is the party where the dancers are actually dancing, and where the DJs don’t miss. Where you come to be seen… and then forget about all that.

No private sections. No weird vibes. Just a room full of Black people outside, for real!!
