“We try to create immersive environments,” says Fantastic Hosts spokesman Lawrence Phipps. “For one art installation, we’ve created a metal sculpture of two giant ants holding a flaming heart that’s 32 feet long and 15 feet high. We’ll also have a huge steampunk dragonfly with 3-D video-projection wing mapping. We try not to take ourselves too seriously — this is all for good fun — and we also make everything as crazy and stimulating as we can.” Phipps promises that the party will feature one of the best and most creative costume crowds in town; he encourages party-goers to be prepared to wow the crowds with their holiday garb.
