I'm spinning on Halloween. If you're in New York, come. I haven't played records publicly in years (this doesn't exactly count since teens'll dance to anything). I might forget how to beat match. This should be appropriately horrific, given the occasion.
If anyone needs a costume, I have one for you:
I think this picture (taken a few months ago a few doors down from where I live) summarizes New York really well. If there are lice living in that mask (and I have no reason to believe there aren't, though I didn't check because I'm afraid of lice): even better.
You live in Manhattan? Lucky. I have to ride an hour and a half commute both ways every day.

Are people going to be dressing 80s or just any halloween costumes?

I would be there if I were in new york! damn!

I imagine some people will be dressed 80s, some people in just any halloween costume, some people in prom specific costumes. For instance Nicole and I are 80s prom couple killed by mutant corsages.

I am Shiva the god of destruction in his traditional, blue form, and my husband is Shiva the god of destruction in a more modern form. See you there!

A fitting tribute to your beloved abuelita. She would be so pleased. You certainly are a pretty lady, too.
