The partiers at BAE’s Mystic’s Playground party with co-host Reem Abdou (bottom, center), 134 Metropolitan Ave, 10/27/18 at 2am.
My very late night continued well into Sunday as I captured a plethora of special-edition hangover brunches. Over at Roberta’s, DJs Alanna Raben and Big Vic held their latest edition of Grunch, an unashamedly ’90s fest with food specials titled after the era’s hit songs. When Raben played Blink 182’s “What’s My Age Again?” in the dirty nurse outfit form the album’s cover, literally everyone sang along.
Still hungry, I headed to The Keep in Ridgewood, where G House NYC‘s Dead Man’s Brunch went till 9pm. DJ Mike Trotter spun for guests needing “hairs of the dog” whilst enjoying shows from performers Lady Havokk and Hannah Lou, whose rendition of Rocky Horror’s “Sweet Transvestite” was perfect for our unofficial holiday. After 48 hours of documenting folks who might only dress up once a year, it was a joy to see performers that do it almost nightly so that we can experience a little bit of Halloween each and every day.
