It Sounds Like Richard Garriott’s Apocalypse Party Was a Success
Polygon is reporting that Richard Garriott’s “Mayan Apocalypse” party (which we reported on late last year) was evidently a rousing success and, in true Garriott fashion, an elaborate and decorative bash.
And pricy too:
At $1,000 a ticket, attendees could experience the Salvation Sideshow tent, which was decorated with fire and brimstone and hosted a production that featured more than 100 volunteers. There was also a hedonism tent where, according to Texas Monthly, “a naked woman painted like a zebra lounged in a glass box as actors passed out creamy alcoholic drinks and chocolate-dipped bananas to the crowd.” There was also an alien tent that featured neon-colored drinks and a Science area.
Proceeds from the soiree went to the X Prize Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps fund projects that “spur innovative solutions to some of the world’s most complicated problems.”
Garriott and his wife Laetitia wore matching, custom-made green feature headdresses to the party.
Of course, the world didn’t end on the 21st, but hey…it still sounds like it was a good time.
Livin’ the dream. Garriott is such a character.
