PHOTOS: BYT SUMMER CAMP 4TH OF JULY Edition: Fat Camp

Words cannot really describe the level of epicness that the July 4th Fat Camp edition of BYT Summer Camp was. (AND to think we were (a little) worried about people showing up because it is a holiday).
But here are some points to consider:
-somehow 960 of you went through that door
-Fatback DJs are geniuses
-The Uncle Sam in stilts was pretty awesome, you have to admit
-Katie Balloons and her (often dirty) balloon toys are genius too (this is the second time we have had Katie at one of our parties and every time I declare to never have a party without her again)
-The limbo contest was the most limber ever
-The balloon toss was epic
-The ice cream sandwich eating contest was gross and hilarious and everything it should have been. NO HANDS!
-Most of the inflatables died somewhere in the process, but we’re getting more, so -no worries there
-The fireworks were hilarious
-And you all were great, because none of this would have made sense without you. And without America.
The pool party dream photography team worked very hard at putting this set together, so please put your hands together for them and their increasingly waterproof cameras.
And-if you need us, you know where to find us every Saturday this Summer.
Here are some photos (and awesome limbo videos) by Dakota to kick things off:
followed by some by Bradley:
and closing out with a great set by Garai:
Lets hear it for teamwork and see you all this week AT JESUS CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!
The funny thing about the number 960? It’s almost one thousand, and out of every one thousand people, statistically speaking, 3 to 4 of them have tried something sexual with a dog.
Makes you wonder…

July 7, 2009 at 11:19 amAnd not a single fat person to be seen… very inclusive, hipster crowd. Wonderful.

July 7, 2009 at 12:05 pmhey fattie, i wasn’t at this event, but i’m pretty sure no one was barring fat people from entering at the gate.
this shit is open to the public. anyone who chooses not to attend can’t really accuse the organizers of being exclusive.
and btw, as far as insults go, hipster is a pretty toothless one. it’s really only negative to the person hurling it. and it’s use often smacks of desperation.
July 7, 2009 at 1:15 pmthere are definitely fatties in these pics
July 7, 2009 at 2:23 pmyeah me=fatty who was there…word!
July 7, 2009 at 3:42 pmVictor! I saw you there, you were lookin fly as always.
July 7, 2009 at 4:54 pmI’m a fattie and i was there :) Goodtimes
July 7, 2009 at 8:14 pmi love the shot of the dude with the stache, trucker cap, aviators, and wildlife t-shirt. if wal mart sold a hipster halloween costume, it’d totally look like that.
July 8, 2009 at 7:41 pmpost-ironic.
July 8, 2009 at 11:51 pmyou know what else smacks of desperation? these parties.
although, i have to give mad originality points to the dude with the american flag mesh hat and t shirt with the deer. LOL, i get what you’re doing there! you are letting us know that “regular people” and patriotism are dumb and beneath you…and on the 4th of july, no less. never seen that concept before.
