Snug Harbor celebrates
its fifth anniversary in May and that means Shiprocked - the club’s hugely
popular weekly dance party - celebrates its fifth anniversary Thursday, May 3. Captain Scott Weaver and Shiprocked's cast of performers will do so by
turning Plaza-Midwood’s only stationary sailing vessel into a carnival complete
with stilt-walkers, aerialists, dancers, a fortune teller, a dunk tank, and drag,
burlesque and sideshow performances as well as fun fair food like hot dogs, cotton
candy, and popcorn. Former cast member Lilith DeVille joins founder Weaver (pictured with cast above), who serves as DJ, and performers Cherry Von Bomb and Bethann Phetamine.
Shiprocked has become
Snug’s signature event drawing large late night crowds each Thursday. The
music and performances are fun and even the most reluctant dancer can be lured
to the floor there. It’s even attracted some celebrity partygoers. Actor Tony Todd (aka The Candyman) was spotted there
along with some of his fellow Mad Monster Party convention guests in March.
Admission to the anniversary party is free for
the first 100 people. After that it’s $2. 21 and up.
