Seeing as we are avid Stanley Kubrick fans we were delighted when hired by Kapow Events to bring our vintage themed Chicago photo booth to an "Eyes Wide Shut" meets secret society themed masquerade party. The event was hosted at Venue One in the West Loop but it was a far cry from your typical corporate holiday work party. Obviously it was a bit more tame than Kubrick's psycho-sexual crazed film but it was not any less entertaining! The walls at Venue One were colored Oxblood red (apparently that color is hot right now!) and they had low rumbling bass music playing throughout the venue which was creepy awesome. Did we mention guests were greeted by non-speaking masked individuals with nose horns? The many flat-screen monitors on the wall played a slideshow of cryptic phrases such as "Drinketh From the Horn of the Horse," "Mask your Identity," and "Leave in Silence." As the party went on there was a great live band called "The Deliverables" who played fully masked. Everyone loved taking crazy photo booth pictures with the wild masks and a few unicorns even paid a visit!
