That's right, terrestrial life forms! It is time to strap on your moon boots and charter the nearest space shuttle to the annual intergalactic space party known as "Fake Prom"! Earth Women, please prepare your most fashionable astro-dresses. Earth Men, please come attired in your most dashing space helmets. (Cyborgs, androids or other humanoid-like robots are asked to please follow the Three Laws of Robotics.) All interplanetary entities are welcome to attend, because this year's Fake Prom promises to be OUT OF THIS WORLD! Just step over the space-bridge at the foot of Queen and Roncesvalles and be transported to Planet Palais Royale in the distant galaxy of W1CK3D-SP4CE-P4RTY!

What can you expect from this year's futuristic Fake Prom? Well a lot of what has made Fake Prom such an exciting event in the past:

FAKE DATES

[FAKE DATE SIGN-UP IS NOW CLOSED!].

Our state-of-the-art data-projectioning reveals that a lot of earth people feel pressure to bring a date to Fake Prom. Well, we here at Fake Prom believe that that is an outdated 20th century notion. Our 33rd-century solution? To match people up on FAKE DATES! Fake Dates are a fun, easy and commitment-free way to meet someone new! All you have to do to sign up for a Fake Date is fill out our on-line questionnaire and our super-computer will use advanced space-age technology to find you a perfect Fake Date. Sign up for one and hang out with a new Fake Friend and have a Fake Blast!

MOONWALK THE NIGHT AWAY!

It wouldn't be Fake Prom without non-stop dancing! As always, you can expect to hear the classic songs you probably heard at your own earth prom. Back by popular demand is one of our most acclaimed DJs: Vice-Principal Dougie Boom. His beats will be sure to keep you on the dance floor and out of detention. This year, Mr. Boom will be joined on the decks by another Fake Prom favourite: Vice-Principal Chris Thinn. Some of you may remember Mr. Thinn back from the first Fake Prom where he won the first ever Singles Dance trophy! Both of these disciplinarians have been confiscating the record collections of misbehaved detention students in order to bring you the best Fake Prom tune selections they can.

THE REQUEST LINES ARE OPEN!

Fake Prom relies on the keen sensibilities of its attendees to help build the DJs set lists for the evening. We're looking for those songs that you may not have heard in 10 years, but still have all the lyrics lodged in your brain somewhere. These songs are integral to ANY prom (be it Fake or not!), so give us a hand. Here are a few hints to get you started:

• THEME-APPROPRIATE
  This year's futuristic sci-fi theme almost comes with a readymade soundtrack. Songs like "Mr. Roboto", "Weird Science", "Space Oddity" are tailor-made for rocking out on a distant planet. Help us out and suggest any "space jams" you can think of!
• SLOW DANCING
  What better way to get closer to a prospective knight/princess than with a slow jam? We need a reason to dim the lights, so give us your favourite smoove tracks!

AN EXTRA SPECIAL PROM BAND

As always, one of the centrepieces of Fake Prom is the Fake Prom Band. Every year, we gather a talented group of young musicians who thrill the audience with brilliant renditions of favourite prom classics. This year, we have scoured the known universe for the perfect group of extra-terrestrially-trained musicians to play this year's event. And who should we discover is the band most up to this task? Why, none other than the 2007 Fake Prom Band! That's right, the band that performed at the first ever Fake Prom and then knocked everybody's socks off again at last year's prom is BACK AGAIN! They've been watching endless re-runs of Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica to give them the inspiration to play the best show this part of the galaxy has ever seen.

PORTRAITS UNDER THE ARCHES

No Fake Prom would be complete without having your portrait taken under the balloon arch. Maybe it's you hangin' out with your BFF (BEST FRIEND FOREVER) or embracing your TLF (TRUE LOVE FOREVER). Whatever the case, the Fake Prom Decorating Committee always works hard to ensure the perfect backdrop for enshrining the magic of the evening forever. This year, we have been hard at work scouring the universe for the perfect outer space vista. What will it be?

VOTE FOR YOUR KING AND QUEEN

Okay, here's the deal: Every single person who comes to Fake Prom receives a blank ballot for Fake Prom Queen and Fake Prom King. Once you get your ballot, you can write-in the name of the people you'd like to win. It can be yourself, someone you know, or someone you made up. At the end of the night, the Fake Prom committee scrambles to sort through the hundreds of ballots in order to figure out which people got the most votes. Ocassionally, people have mounted successful, organized campaigns to become Fake Prom King and Queen, but usually the winners are the people with the most outlandish costumes and outfits. Oh, and sometimes it's just the people who are dressed the trampiest. So you've got a bunch of different options there for you if you're trying to win the coveted sash and tiara.

CAN'T HARDLY WAIT

We have a lot in store for this year's Fake Prom. Those of you who attended last year's Fake Prom know what an action-packed and value-added event it is. So please feel free to pass this invitation out to your friends. Also, be sure to send me any Fake Prom music requests that you may have.

I look forward to chaperoning you!
