#witches ball

These are filled with herbs & other little things & are meant to keep evil away from your home as well as evil thoughts, they’re very equivalent to a horseshoe!

Funny you should mention it. We did manage to escape to the McKittrick on Friday and Saturday and in typical fashion, Waffle took a bunch of Witches' Ball Halloween party videos including all three ballroom performances and is uploading them to our YouTube channel right now. More will appear over the coming days, but there's plenty to get you started already on our YouTube Channel! It was a damn good time!

After clearing the vaccine and mandatory test requirement, guests could enter through the maze. (On Friday, guests could also enter directly to the hotel lobby from the stairs, but that was closed off to try to improve flow for the weekend parties.) On Friday night, all the party floors were open at the top of the party--ballroom plus mezzanine, lobby, Manderley, and 4th floor. On Sat and Sun, the typical Manderley and lobby were open at entry time and the rest opened later. In the Manderley, there was live music as always, MK Groove with various singers including Julia Haltigan, Lisa McQuade; Karen Marie and her band; and the Villians. The hotel lobby had a DJ (DJ A-Ball on Fri, don't know other nights) and live burlesque dancers all night (Lily Ockwell, Kelly Todd, Kelsey Connolly, Ernesto Breton, Doug Burkhardt, Elias Rosa) dancing on the hotel lobby desk. There were three ballrooms starring Mallory Gracenin, Ashley Robicheaux, Joy-Marie Thompson, Ruth Howard, Zack McNally, Jacob Guzman (and one unknown special guest). There were also tireless, gorgeous go-go dancers between numbers: Evan Fisk, Jamal Abrams, Kayla Farrish, and Marissa Maislen. The fourth floor had durational performances by Camara McLaughlin, Stephanie Jean Lane, Morgan Doelp, Marc Cardarelli, Andy Talen, and Mitchell Winter and more go-go/burlesque/um....just really good dancing in the rep bar (if you happened to catch the light at the right time) by Nate Carter, Marija Obradovic, Aliza Russell, Emily Oldak.

Of course, none of this would be possible without Austin Goodwin, who gave us the gift of this nostalgic, beautiful, debaucherous gathering of old and new friends.
