Freak Night, an annual rave that draws thousands of glow stick waving, cat-in-the-hat-hat-wearing types to the Seattle area, is scrambling to find a new venue. [Note: The event has now been canceled.]

The event—which has pre-sold 3,000 tickets and is expected to draw up to 7,000 people—was scheduled to be held at the Pier 30 Events Center tonight. But on Wednesday, Columbia Hospitality—which runs the event center—told Freak Night’s promoter—USC Events—that they’d have to find a new venue.

USC’s attorney, Dave Osgood, says Columbia’s decision to pull out of the event came as a surprise since USC had already put down a $30,000 deposit.”I don’t know if they decided they just don’t like raves,” Osgood says.

Osgood acknowledges there were some issues with payment—specifically citing a disagreement over $6,000—but, he says, his client’s negotiations with Columbia were “in good faith.” Osgood says he has filed suit against Columbia.

Columbia did not return calls for comment.

UPDATE:

According to Osgood, Freak Night has been canceled.
