According to Christian Harold Camping, the Rapture begins tomorrow at 6 p.m. It starts with a series of massive earthquakes that will affect the entire globe. Around 3% of the world's population will be immediately raptured (can someone turn this into a regularly used slang term for something drug related?), meaning shuttled straight to heaven. Then we have till October before everyone else meets total annihilation.
But from tomorrow until October, things will be ugly. Tons of sinning as the individuals who don't immediately go to heaven realize that the whole shithouse is going up in flames, so to speak. Frankly, we're excited. If we all really only have five months left, do you know how much shit we're going to get into? Untold amounts of sex, drugs, looting, chaos, wild abandon.
To kick off these last five months on Earth, we bring you the 10 events to attend before the world ends. Have a great day!
Throwed Dance Party in Providence, R.I.
Throwed is a weekly electronic dance party that usually takes place in Boston, but they're based in Providence this evening and have the official hype man of Major Lazer, Skerrit Bwoy, with them. He's known to have infectious energy and wild dance moves. Hump something.
It's actually an 18+ event, so if you're not quite 21 you can have your first club experience before the Rapture.

David Guetta at Pacha NYC
The heavy bass booming inside Pacha NYC should drown out any thoughts of the approaching endtimes, and who better to deliver it than David Guetta? Surely these will be some of your best memories. Advanced tickets are almost sold out, so if you don't cop online, be sure to arrive early to grab them.

Party Like It's 1999 in Brooklyn
Tonight in Brooklyn the Bell House will be one big flashback to the '90s. You know, when things were all so simple, with TRL, Jack Kevorkian assisted-suicides, the fear of Y2K, and other predictions of the end of world. Get it, middle-school dance swag.

Pop at Ultrabar with DJ Scene in D.C.
This well-traveled DJ will be rocking the 1's and 2's in D.C. before the inevitable strikes. It probably won't be as crackin' as when Lil Jon was there, but we're sure DJ Scene will hold it down.

Bi-Winning with Pance Party in San Francisco
Excuse the played-out, Sheen-related name; this party goes down at a great venue with promising electro act Pance Party headlining and other acts to follow. Just avoid the upstairs smoking room if you're not 'bout that life. But you should be. Why not, right?
Bi-Winning with Pance Party

Rickshaw Stop
155 Fell St., San Francisco
Tickets $10-$13
Stylized in Portland with Illa J
Portland party night Stylized combines fashion with live performances for good times. Tonight's guest is Illa J. Because when it's all said and done, you can go out saying that you at least saw one of the Yancey Boys (R.I.P. J Dilla) tear down the stage.

SWAG at Beauty Bar in Austin
Though there are a number of Beauty Bars across the country, the Austin location is particularly nice with it. They've deaded their cover for tonight, choosing instead to bring you a slew of local emcees free of charge (it's on you to swag yourself out, though). There's rhyming from 9:30 p.m. till midnight, dancing till 2 a.m.
