It has been a year for R'N'R hotel. So, to celebrate, they threw down a throw down party this Saturday.
Things I remember through the blur of blood, sweat and sequins:
The cake was delicious, the champagne and whiskey was flowing and Andrew WK is a goddamn party starter if I ever saw one.
(his appeal best summed up in this quote by one of our readers: Guys have strip clubs. Girls have non-threatening, luxuriously haired, dorky pretty boys in tight pants that dance like maniacs. He gives me a clit boner...)
Whips, Points, Earl Greyhound and The Big Sleep also played, and played loudly and awesomely (side note: can someone please bully Matt Berger into Whips playing more than 2 shows a year? We want and need that. Thank you.), the PowWow ladies held down the dj fort downstairs and Chris Burns did his Disco City proud upstairs.
The rest...the rest is below, courtesy of Joel's amazing photos.
and then
God loves a cheerful giver.
smoking kills
Almost made it, and then the Green Fairy and sugar cubes came out of hiding and began dancing with each of us.
Note to self:
Giant gob of sensor dust = fresh for '07
is it me or does the photographer capture people at their most craked out- strung out- ugly?
Will was holding it down proper at Black Cat
so, i too, almost made it
thanks for the birthday shot, Will!

Thanks for noticing Fitsum....
I should prolly clean that thing.
I noticed bc I've been procrastinating cleaning mine.
ahhh i want MORE pictures!!!
i am next to andrew w.k. in the pictures where he is playing the keyboard!!!
This is a valiant effort to try to make this evening look fun. However, I am glad to still have the $25 cover charge (or whatever crazy price it was) in my pocket. Or better yet, spent it on drinks elsewhere.
Now that I can see the pictures I can say this:
My party was more stylish and more fun. Someone tell the truth...how many people were trying to fuck this moron?
Your mother and a few others.
Man, I REALLY want to see AWK live
but he doesnt play in Holland, damn, shame.
Great pics though! looks like a kick ass party too me!
