NOTE: YOURS TRULY ATTENDED THIS YEARS MAYORS BALL THAT WAS HELD AT UNION STATION. IT WAS A FESTIVE OCCASION WITH PARTY PEOPLE CELEBRATING MARDIS GRAS LAST FRIDAY FEB 9.
OVERALL SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE ATTENDED AND IT WAS DECENT--FREE FOOD AND DRINK AND VARIOUS AREAS OF VIP, BUT ONE DRAWBACK WAS IT WAS EXTREMELY DARK IN THE MAIN AREA AND ONE OF THE VIP AREAS.
MANY OF THE SEATED AREAS WITH PEOPLE WERE SEATED IN VERY DIMLY LIT AREAS. THE VENDING BOOTH AREAS WERE LOCATED IN FRONT OF BACK WALLS IN THE CORNER WHERE THERE WAS BAREALY ANY LIGHT TO SEE. WHAT WAS GOIING ON UNLESS YOU WALKED DIRECTLY TO THE VENDORS WHICH INCLUDED PANCAKAE MAKERS, CARICATURE PORTRAIT DRAWERS AND THE 360 PHOTO BOOTH.
THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS OK (JUGGLERS, AERIAL SPINNERS, BRASS AND COVER BANDS) BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY HIGHLIGHTED MOMENTS. IT WAS FESTIVE ENOUGH FOR THE REVELERS TO DANCE AND MINGLE THE NIGHT AWAY. THE MAYOR, TISHAURA JONES, WHO WAS WEARING A RUFFLED TANNISH GOWN, CAME THROUGH DURING THE HEIGHT OF TEH EVENT TO SCHMOOZE WITH EVERYONE.
OUR SUGGESTION: BRING BACK THE DIRTY MUGGS TO CLOSE OUT THE EVENT LIKE LAST YEAR. THE DEE-JAY WAS OK MIXING HIP HOP AND OLD MOTOWN SONGS (THE DJ'S NAME SLIPS US) BUT AN ENERGETIC BAND WAS NEEDED.
SPECIFICALLY THE ENTERTAINMENT AND VENDORS INCLUDED THE PLAYADORS, THE RED AND BLACK BRASS BAND , PANCAKKE ART BY THE JOY OF PANCAKES, BODY ART FROM THE GLITTER BAR .
AFTER THE EVENT, THERE WAS A PRIVATE AFTER PARTY AT THE CURIO AT THE HILTON PRODUCED BY STL PROMOTER NIDDY GRITTY AND HOSTE DBY MOHA LATTE. WE SAW AND HEARD THAT IT WAS LIIT WIITH BIG BRASS BAND AND DJ CUDDY ON THE 1S AND 2S AND WE HEAR IT WAS PACKED! THE MAYOR WAS ALSO THERE.
