History: The first one didn't have a name in December of 1998 at an ex-boyfriend's apartment. He left us the place for the night, which was strange, but kind. Paige, a friend of a friend, was sad because she missed the party and was going to bring so many eager guests. I suggested creating a small but interesting event at her house to make up for it, and I discovered that Paige's home is filled with magic and love. It was probably the most intimate and quintessential St. Eve party. It's what convinced me to keep doing them.

The themes we perpetrated with props and performances generated a style that people began to recognize, one of rich colors in "decayed" settings, and a sense of humor. A lush sense of antiquity, peppered with modern elements . I started to hear, "Oh, that's very St. Eve". Even the invites always have a personal touch, and until recently, often carried fun stuff in the envelopes like glitter and fabrics. I guess we're doing postcards now.

The result was that people started talking about the fetes and suddenly I was in the catering business, creating a vibe with attractive and "freaky" performers and bartenders. We've gotten to the point that we could set a bar up anywhere.

The one that really marked a turn-around was Missy Galore's birthday at The Green Demon Cabaret. She had such a good time that she mentioned my name to Josh Harris (former CEO of Pseudo.com and more) who was throwing a cavernous party for three days. Through this I met Matt E. Silver, and so on and so on. Corporate parties want a bit of our flash and we need the cash.

Meanwhile, most people who come to the parties had no idea about the band because I could never mix the two sides of myself peaceably.

Now we get hired to do all kinds of stuff, from decorations to providing the green fairy's sweet sprinkle of merriment. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to organize my own event and personally provide the band.
