Novaween 14 “Quarantine” Halloween 2020 Costume Party
On a beautiful, Full “Blue” Moon Saturday, Halloween Night, October 31, 2020 we celebrated Novaween 14 “Quarantine.” Our was a Private, by Invitation Only Halloween Costume Party. Held at our 1920 built, downtown St. Pete venue NOVA 535.
Thanks to our charming photographer, the legendary Barry Lively, via BLivelyImages©, captured our fabulous still images. Our (upcoming) videos by Fitzaey and Underground Cirque will certainly also delight.
Our sales manager April Sherwin wore what many thought to be the best, and most topical costume, the 6′ referees. Excellent costuming April!
Entertainment tonight was provided by:
My pal, and AV Guru, Chuck Taylor, (who I call Gandalf) of Production Source. They provided amazing lighting, sound, event design and production, check them out at facebook.com/ProductionSourceInc.
We built our entertainment around the lovely, talented ladies, and gents, of Underground Cirque. Founders Taylor Roberts (pictured above) and Gaby Rosa (pictured below) are both stars; wonderful humans and incredibly talented entertainers.
Their spectacular crew includes Molly Diveris (Fire Faerialist), Michael Knapp ( Michael Dominic ), Edison Abadia, Courtney Spinz, and their photo/videographer
John Tereshinski.
DJ Serafin, came to us via our old friend, Doug Hensel, aka DJ Fresh. Doug has celebrated here at NOVA 535 many, many times. On both sides of the DJ mixer! And who was mentioned in my book, It’s 5 am Go Home. Why? Grab a copy and find out! As to DJ Serafin, holy wow did he impress us! Bravo to the DJ!! Appreciate you DJ Serafin, and your ‘wind-the-clocks-back’ extra set! Magnificent!
Tarot Card reading out in our courtyard, by the always delightful Ani Crane, Psychic Queen of Fun. As usual, her table was busy all night with the curious and the more serious future ‘peekers’. Thank Ani!
Phoebe Vecchioni, of Phoebe Samba Dance Company, along with her hubby / business partner Marty, bought her incredibly talented and beautiful ladies to help us dance the night away, wow!
COVID-19 inspired balloons, by the balloon master himself, Mark Byrne. Mark, he never disappoints! Having performed several times at NOVA 535, including during the Big Bang Show, Mark is balloon-tastic!
Gogo Dancer Elaine “Lanie” Hoxie shared her delightful energy and dance moves with us all night, thanks Lanie!
