The event, organized by the creative folks at BBQ Films, transformed a gymnasium into the Enchantment Under The Sea dance featured in Back to the Future, but the sidewalks outside were also filled with a little bit of Hill Valley. Upon arriving, guests were met by a woman screaming to "Save the Clock Tower!" and the Doc was on hand showing off some flux capacitor schematics. We dispatched photographer Sachyn Mital there last night, and it appears that no one destroyed the fabric of the space-time continuum space-time continuum (though you may want to make sure your photos aren't fading).
