Thursday Night at the Disco

When I was younger, Thursday night was the night everyone got together to go dancing. We’d drive down to Washington, DC sometimes and go to the Chinese Disco, which was a Chinese Restaurant by day and a disco at night. So when I was invited to a huge party earlier this evening, it brought back memories of those days.

This event was given by Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (!)in their 100,000 square-foot space. To say it was amazing would be a vast understatement. When we arrived, there were several gorgeous vignettes to greet us, and one included this amazing orchid – encased in ICE! It was stunning.

The theme of the party was Tassels and Tattoos, and as we entered the massive warehouse, there was a tattoo parlour set up and people were actually getting inked!

We opted for a less permanent alteration and got sparkled!

As we moved from vendor to vendor the scene continually changed. The whole point of the party was to show off to corporate and other event planners what they were capable of doing and what they had in their warehouse to make your party one-in-a-million.

Everywhere you looked, there was someone mixing up custom cocktails.

And the food was amazing! Everything you could think of, from freshly smoked cedar planked salmon,

to a candy bar which was served by gals whose tops were literally painted on!

To white truffles hanging from the ceiling,

to voodoo doll pancakes and DIY jambalaya,

to gnocchi and pulled pork!

And since that was a farm-to-table caterer, they even brought along two baby goats!

In one massive room, there were tables with buckets and buckets of fresh flowers and you could make your own arrangement in a “silver” julep cup!

There were several bands, lots of dancing, some serious schmoozing, a silent disco and much much more!

Such a fun party, and such a fun way to spend a Thursday night! Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, indeed!
