Paradise Overtime was created in 2022 by musicians Jared Meyer and Anthony Mihaly, using a blend of synths, drums, electronics...really whatever else feels right, to create a unique modern jazz-rock sound that has no limits to what potential creative, emotional or entropic stone that they decidedly tether to and hurl it star-ward.

Excited to create an original blood lust shadow tale to the Arcane Vampire Ball!

We invite all of you creatures of the night to come and experience a dark romantic evening of dancing, decadence, interactive role-playing, and some of the best performance art you will ever see.

Inspired by Vampire Hunter D, Vampire in the Garden, and The Blood of Eden book series, Carpathia 2059 is a world where vampires rule the night, while mankind is suffering severe instability. Vampires live in luxury, but humans live only to survive and fight against them. On April 28th, in Denver, a city where the rocky mountains of Colorado have now become Carpathia, we summon all creatures of the night to a grand masquerade ball in a sanctuary known as The Church Nightclub! One of the most feared havens for the undead.

DRESS CODE: For this theme, elegant, vampiric, monstrous, and post-apocalyptic inspired looks are encouraged! A strict minimum dress code will be enforced. Please refer to the dress code page on our website as well as the Pinterest board below for guidance and inspiration:
