Why Go: Party Like It's 1999 is back at the Bell House for their “Sleepless in June Edition.” The last weekend of June in 1993 saw people around the country flocking to theaters to see Tom Hanks find love with Meg Ryan in “Sleepless in Seattle.” So, the party will mark the occasion by spinning the best rock, pop, R&B and hip-hop that could inspire your own romantic comedy with a significant other — or perhaps someone you just met that night — in the Frontier Room!
