Tonight from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the Retro Room is hosting a Mad Men mixer, and those who arrive clad in early '60s finery will have a chance to win a poster autographed by star Jon Hamm. And that's not all, teases party planner Laura Chapin.
"Unfortunately, we won't have the season four premiere," Chapin says. "But we do have the complete season three on DVD to hand out as prizes."
In addition, the bash will feature Canadian Club whiskey and Heineken beer -- both clients of Sterling Cooper, the fictional ad agency Don Draper (Hamm) left at the end of last season -- as well as period appropriate noshes and more. Chapin, who'll be wearing a dress who mother made in 1964, notes that "AMC sees Denver as a target city -- and they figure people have vintage stuff in their closets, or they know where to find it."
Better dig out that Jackie Kennedy finery quick. Here are more details on tonight's party:
