Halloween Horrors and Happenings: Night at the Newseum

by Jordana Merran
If you’re still trying to find Waldo we’ve got a lead: he – and about thirty of his identical twins – were seen roaming the dance floor at Brightest Young Things’ Night at the Newseum IV Halloween Party last Friday night at the Newseum.
This year hosted “in 3D” (guests were handed 3D glasses to watch skeleton and lightning animations projected on a huge screen), the sold-out party packed the six-story venue with zombies, M&Ms, cheerleaders, muppets and more. Budding meteorologist pirates and Pac Man ghosts delivered weather forecasts at the Newseum’s mock television news studios, while Che Guevara and Muammar Gaddafi mingled at multiple cash bars (there was even one IN an elevator!). Ladybugs and bumblebees jammed into a Halloween photo booth,80s rockers rocked the ping pong tables, and the rest of the motley crowd danced to music spun by DJs Questlove, Woolfy and Adrian Loving.
The one let-down? There wasn’t a single candy bar at the scene! Luckily, though, you’ve still got tonight to satisfy that sweet tooth. Happy Halloween!
