Celebrate Five Years of Red Emma's at the Red & Black Ball!
December 19, 2010
7:30PM - 11PM, at 2640 Saint Paul Street
That's right my fellow mischief-makers: the
Red Emma's Red and Black Ball returns again this year on December 19! Join the Red Emma's collective as we celebrate the traditional anarchist gift-giving season with an all-out, over-the-top evening of revelry in your Victorian-era red and black finest! Think Victorian-era dances, parlour games, phrenology, and, of course, spirits to warm your body and soul. Think renaissance festival dress gone anarchist. Think steampunk. Think Alan Moore ("V for Vendetta," League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"). Live and DJ'd music throughout the evening, as well as performances, games, "etiquette" lessons, phrenology, and more, led by our very own Master of Ceremonies, Ryan Coffman, with the help of a variety of Baltimore favorites! Plus ... freakin' amazing vegan cake. And booze.
Last year's Red and Black Ball was possibly one of our favorite events we've ever pulled together ... and this year's ball is sure to be even better, because it also doubles as our fifth anniversary party! So pull out that fancy dress you picked up at a thrift store; borrow your brother's tuxedo! Make a mask, or grab one at the door! This is the holiday party you don't want to miss ... come out and celebrate with us!
It all takes place at 2640 Saint Paul Street, December 19, starting at 7:30PM. Tickets are $10-$15 sliding scale, and include food and a free drink. Masks provided for those who need them. Proper attire is NOT required, but isn't it more fun to cobble a costume together? Email
info@redemmas.org for more info ... this event is all-ages, and no one turned away for lack of funds.
