Name at the door.
Whatever it says on the list. Nobody is checking ID, and the rest of the evening is easier if we spell it right.
Come as anything that starts with G
One letter. That is the whole brief.
No film. No decade. No hotel in Thailand. This year you come dressed as anything at all, on one condition: it begins with G.
Gandalf. Gurka. Godzilla. Gordon Ramsay. A guldfisk in a bowl you carry all night and regret by 22.30. The rules are gloriously thin. If you can spell it with a G at the front and still get through a door wearing it, it counts.
You are reading this because someone wrote your name on a list. That list is short and it is hand-picked, and it has not grown much in six years. So: welcome back, or welcome for the first time. Same night, same room, same people who dance until the lights come on.
Bring the shoes you can stand in for five hours and the face you make when a friend walks in dressed as a Grävling. There are prizes. There is a jury. The jury is not impartial and has never pretended to be.
Gather · Glitter · Groove · Goodnight
Blige V · The Great Hall · 2025
A starting point, not a shortlist. Nobody has ever been turned away for picking a G we forgot.
G01
Gandalf
Grey, then white. Notoriously bad door policy.
G02
Gurka
96% water, 100% commitment.
G03
Godzilla
Tall. Loud. Regrettable for Tokyo.
G04
Gatsby
Throws a decent party. Not this decent.
G05
Gollum
Precious.
G06
Gladiator
Are you not entertained.
G07
Garfield
Hates Mondays. This is a Saturday.
G08
Ghostbuster
Who you gonna call. Us, ideally.
G09
Gordon Ramsay
It is RAW.
G10
Green Goblin
Glider not permitted inside the venue.
G11
Grease
Is the word.
G12
Gnome
Ceramic. Bearded. Utterly unbothered.
G13
Guacamole
Extra costs twenty kronor everywhere else.
G14
Grinch
Heart three sizes too small, fixable by 22.00.
G15
Groucho
Moustache, cigar, eyebrows. One euro of effort.
G16
Goldfinger
No, Mr Bond, I expect you to dance.
G17
Grävling
Badger. Nocturnal. Deeply relatable.
G18
Ginger Spice
Union jack optional, attitude is not.
G19
Gustav Vasa
Founder of things, wearer of beard.
G20
Galaxy
Come as all of space. Ambitious.
G21
Gympapåse
Low effort. Suspiciously high reward.
G22
Gremlin
Do not feed after midnight. Doors close at 01.00.
G23
Gorilla
Chest, drums, dignity.
G24
Guldfisk
Three second memory. Ideal for this night.

Doors open at 20.00 and close shortly after. This is a private event in a room we borrow for one night, and the staff are strict about it, so arriving at 20.40 means missing the start and possibly the whole thing. Late arrivals are not refunded.
We came as Gorbatjov. They came as Gorbatjov. Everyone came as Gorbatjov.
A guest, 24 October
Twenty-six letters were available. They picked the funny one.
