That Vampire Ball
I got there a little past the opening at 5:30. I would say the photos I took were between 5:45 and 5:55. Initially, before I went, I thought the "event" would be more inside ST/PCV, but it was as close to 1st Avenue as possible. So, the money spent by Management is promotional money to get more people interested in ST/PCV. Of course, I could be wrong. But I do hope the "event" will be greater for children. You know, the little one who are always interested in bright lights.
Anyway, my take is that the "event" was pathetic. As I wrote, you couldn't miss the lights--and the speak-loud singing and guitar strumming. Five Stuy Cafe? Everything was awful and meant for fly-over people and not real New Yorkers. At least I hope they are not real New Yorkers!
There were more people coming in, so don't let the very low numbers fool you. But who knows? Maybe few will make it to this ball....
I had to leave because the Vampire Ball was so bad. Oh, I got the name of the catering company. I will be checking. :-)
Update 10/27:
A ST resident sent in a few priceless photos, which I'd like to share in the spirit of things. Taken around 6:30....
Of course, you may have elected to go to Five Stuy Cafe instead and sit and relax and listen to the music:
Oh, wait... Not many people here as well.... At least the band is playing. Thanks, Blackstone!
(Hat tip to ST resident.)

Drink Booze and Screw Around - Adults Only at Playground 3
Gumby must be working overtime. Gumby is in Management. (Yes, he is; it's in their job descriptions.) Anyway, just when I thought that Management couldn't be more out of touch, here we have a notation on that costly flyer that came with our current rent bill of "The Village Vampire Ball"! Yes, wine will be served and cocktails (Signature Apple Cider, what's that?) at... Bet you thought it was somewhere in the Lower East Side. No, wrong! Our very own Playground 3! Yes, a playground! Just one step away from Sodom and Gomorrah.
Unbelievable, but believable.

I'm so excited. Adult drinks, hookers (well, you can dress whatever), bad boys.... Did I say "adult drinks"? In a playground, too!
Now Management is advertising all over the place. In front of Five Stuy Cafe:
