A slew of local punks held special 35th birthday party for iconic sci-fi flick Star Wars on Friday, May 25, and offered an intergalactic evening of costumes, cheap drinks, and three-chord thunder. Bands like Manual Sex Drive, The Mission Creeps, and Family Secret performed and prizes were handed out for the best Star Wars-inspired outfits.
