All Hallows Eve Took Over Hill Country
Hill Country was rockin’ Saturday night with John Murray & Doug Davenport’s All Hallows Eve, an underground concert featuring Godsmack’s Sully Erna and his new band.

In addition to the music, the evening’s open bar, spooky decor and Capitol Hill’s finest dressed in costume made the night a blast. Here’s to next year.
Famously Spotted: Joanna Murray, Kelley Davenport, Justin Peterson, Missy Edwards, Georgette Spanjich, Kimball Stroud, Rob Collins, Brad Dayspring (rocking a Young Guns cape), Lauren Pratapas, Gerrit Lansin, David Culver, Nick & Courtney Lewis, Blain Rethmeier, Chris & Michelle Assenmacher, Andrew Campognone, Andrew & Kathleen McKenna, Teddy Eynon, Google’s Salterman, Riva Littman, Doug Thornell, Yahoo’s Chris Mood, National Journal’s Reid Wilson, Laena Fallon, Matt Zackon, Bruce & Joyce Gates, Elliot Berke, and Katie Harbath.
