Here I am, being the best crow queen I can be. If you were at Inferno, this ensemble may be somewhat familiar.

I am still on the lookout for another party to wear this to. If someone I know doesn’t have a gathering soon with a crow-friendly dress code, I’m just going to start wearing it to the office.

Yeah, looking like that, you really need your own villain entrance music.
I mean I definitely have some thoughts about theme music.
Inferno 2015 was great - possibly the best SNM party yet, but certainly the best since Carnival des Corbeaux. I feel like basically every complaint I’ve ever had about the special events was handled and then some. Dinner was abundant and delicious and the Paisley Players were perfection as always. There were tons of surprises and unexpected treats, including at least five different 1:1s (one of which was one of the best Punchdrunk moments I’ve ever had). The bars were busy but not impossible to get to, and anyway there were tons of places to get shots. There were snacks. Aaron Paul was boy witch during the opening piece and it was a delight to party with him afterward. The costumes and performances were all top-notch, and it was actually possible to find most of them because - wonder of wonders - we got a printed schedule.
Most of all, I had a blast dancing and drinking and sweating with some of my very best friends, and somehow my giant crow hat did not disintegrate mid-party as I’d sort of assumed it would.
I had been planning to skip the New Year’s Eve event, but this party was so great that I’m going to have to reconsider that, I think. In fact, the party has actually reignited my interest in seeing the show - I haven’t seen it in months and had not been planning to again anytime soon, but now I’m dying to go back. I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say that this year’s Inferno actually reminded me why I fell in love with Sleep No More to begin with.
inferno was extremely goddamn good: part two
I had a great time at Inferno, start to finish. I was the right amount of drunk and the right amount of awake the whole time, I got to see and grope and dance with most of my favorite creeps and weirdos, my horns did not become uncomfortable, and I saw nearly everything I wanted to and quite a number of things I wasn’t expecting.
The auction was not my kind of thing but I loved being invited to it by Sam Booth at dinner. He asked about how much I had spent on different elements of my outfit and at one point took my purse away from me to look for money, but those of you who know me will not be surprised to learn I had all my cash in my bra.
Some of my favorite moments of the night were the ones created by my friends, who never cease to astonish me with their creativity. I must be doing something right in my life to be surrounded by people like this.
All in all, I have no complaints.

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.
eleven years ago tonight! I believe this was the only 4th of july event the mckittrick has ever had, and it was also the first event held at gallow green.
