Collected treasures from my visits to Sleep No More at the McKittrick Hotel. Not pictured: treats from the candy shop, and another I won in a card trick from the speakeasy bartender. The first time my gentleman caller and I attended the show was last spring, and I don’t think we could have predicted that we’d have gone back another three times in less than a year. Have I had enough yet? Apparently not, since I just got tickets today to the special Manhattan Cocktail Classic event in May. It’s not that I feel a burning need to collect achievements… I suppose just want another chance to be in that place for three hours.

Remember when I got contacts specifically to see this show for the first time? Remember when the programs were a single sheet of folded paper (and were free)? Remember when the cheap shows were $75?

I love this photo by Jenny Anderson, and I love that there’s a glitter lobster in my home waiting for another party to attend.
Like the St Valentine’s Day dance last winter, the King’s Masquerade made me fall in love with the McKittrick all over again. And of course I’m still in love with all of the wonderful glamorous creeps I spent the evening with.

I am so glad we tried that one!

The opening number to New Year’s Eve 2014 at the McKittrick. Apologies for the abrupt start…I did not want to turn on the camera until it was obviously okay, so I missed the first few seconds of the singers sort of materializing out of the crowd.

This whole night felt like it was designed to be relevant to my interests. Sassy dancing porters, including the fantastically bearded Nick Bruder? Butt-oriented choreography? Bartenders offering to pour shots directly into my mouth? YES YES YES.
Just before midnight there was another amazing scene with Zhauna Hecate and Austin, the Saddest Porter in the World, and MORE BUTTS. And then it snowed in the ballroom and I kissed all my friends and got black lipstick on them, and I was happy to be alive.

Yes, I have been to eleven Sleep No More parties. They are like parties. I don’t know what kind of information you’re looking for here. It’s dark, there’s booze, there’s dancing, there is some sort of theme. You know: a party.
There are some party photos in my SNM album on Flickr that you can look at if you wish.
Scenes from Witch Party II: The Witchening, a gathering of some of my favorite drunks and miscreants. We got tipsy on themed SNM character drinks and ate a variety of unlikely foodstuffs, then played Cards Against Sleep No More and Clusterfuck. I only want to do shots out of syringes from now on.
Last night was pretty much a perfect New York evening, the kind that makes me happier than I can say with my life as it is right now. And I don’t think there’s a better way to spend the evening of the 4th than at a picnic on the roof of the McKittrick, watching fireworks with friends & fellow drunks.
