They interviewed you on the way in. He named it Milenium Warmup and
encouraged a mehndi tattoo of the party name, MILLENIUM WARMUP (yes,
one 'n' in millennium), on participants' arms. The House of St. Eve
created, serviced and staffed the bars on every floor and conducted
a VIP area that was so private we won't talk about it, even now.
Well,
how did I get here?
I could go way back, but I'll just go farther than I need to because
it's fun to go farther than absolutely necessary. Awhile back, Gabrielle
decided it was time to start singing her new songs in spite of the fact
she no longer had a band. She was invited to sing at Mother, and afterwards
a guy named David Kirkpatrick asked for her number. She met many people
that night and drank on an empty stomach. The next day neither remembered
the other and David apologized for confusing her with another girl entirely,
but decided to meet up for a drink anyway. They became friends and he
got her a job at his office. That was strange in and of itself because
Gabrielle had just about given up on ever working in an office again
but she had some html under her belt, and well, what the heck. Here
she met Azhaday, a performance artist who worked as a patient and kindly
tech support dude. Azha mentioned that he had a friend named Missy whom
Gabrielle should meet. Missy is part of Feedbuck
Galore who do video mixing and presentations. Gabrielle happened
to be at a Unity
Gain party one night and noticed that Missy was mixing. Gabrielle
told her about the kind of parties she threw and Missy was interested.
Months passed and Missy thought it would be fun to combine efforts for
her birthday and called Gabrielle. Gabrielle feted Missy as part of
the Green Demon Cabaret event and hired Feedbuck Galore to provide the
necessary hallucinations. Buck, Missy's partner, is friends with Josh
Harris and when Josh was looking for an intrepid bar handler, The House
of St. Eve was suggested.
