photos by: Fitsum Belay AND Dakota Fine
I mean, it was a blast.
As Fitsum described it:
I just about remember the cab ride there. That’s it.
Well,
There were those crazy singalongs that are still ringing in my head. And the steady look of concern that never left the owner’s face, what with all that drinking and jumping and screaming …
Cale and William played everything from The Ting-Tings to Chromeo to PB&J remixes, to MGMT to Hall and Oates and it all went down swimmingly along with any and every drink consumed through those fancy straws they had over there. Good thing folks at JV’s soundproofed that room out the week before.
And, of course, the collective BYT photo staff was on hand to capture the magic so enjoy snaps from Fits and Dakota, and we’ll be updating this soon with some from Joel (who has the flu).
first up Fitsum:
and then some assorted ones from Dakota:
ummm… that was a fun time, thanx to everyone who made it out!
February 19, 2008 at 9:49 amsad i missed Hall and Oates
speaking of which, when is Crap coming back?
still. in. serious. withdrawal.
I wish I would have come. I suck.
February 19, 2008 at 10:35 amYeah the owner was not happy with me especially. I kept standing on the couches and jumping half-heartedly. Absinthe is a hell of a drug.
February 19, 2008 at 11:02 ammy favorite shot of the night (no, not a pentuple jager at once. but close) - http://flickr.com/photos/sexyfitsum/2273830798/in/set-72157603929593784/
February 19, 2008 at 11:24 amah, yes, that was one of many beverages spilled all over the DJ booth that night - I’m amazed the system held up that long and nobody was electrocuted.
February 19, 2008 at 11:40 amwell Joel, I think someone may have lifted my camera… wonder who it could’ve been? or perhaps your are too deliriously ill to remember?
February 19, 2008 at 12:11 pmuhh…who’s butt am i biting???
and, uhh…..sorry about that.
February 19, 2008 at 12:29 pmum. that was me. if it wasn’t for fitsum neither of us would remember that.
February 19, 2008 at 1:01 pmNot sure if I’m being thanked or blamed.
February 19, 2008 at 1:20 pmyou crazy drunken psuedo hipsters!!!! i mean, every weekend…all the partying!!! ya’ll crazy!!!!!
February 19, 2008 at 2:38 pmThe *really* crazy partying is in that one unavailable pic!!! HOLY MACKEREL!!!
February 19, 2008 at 2:51 pmThanks for telling me you were in town this weekend victoryrose. You’re dead to me, whore.
February 19, 2008 at 2:54 pmhehe. sorry joel. i think that was me being really happy to see you. and, i’m pretty sure it was a thanks to you SF…
eyeliner - i sent you a text friday night. it said “in the district”. you ignored. i swear.
February 19, 2008 at 3:02 pmI wish you drunken psuedo hipsters would consider Michael’s feelings and invite him to a party once in a while.
February 19, 2008 at 3:11 pmMichael was most certainly invited. He requires other people to take the initiative to schedule a time to pick his ass up and chauffer him around the city though.
February 19, 2008 at 3:16 pmI don’t really care, he just cries a lot.
February 19, 2008 at 3:21 pmCale - just this once since I have three dead motorbikes.
I’ll have to wait until I get home to see the pictures to see if I even wanted to have gone.
Big Bob - your comment was stupid. This party required no invite.
February 19, 2008 at 3:28 pmYou should totally get a segway.
February 19, 2008 at 3:40 pmFor the price of one I could get a pretty sweet vintage BMW with a sidecar.
Plus Segways are for the gays.
February 19, 2008 at 3:51 pmor a good mechanic.
February 19, 2008 at 3:52 pmor aspiring illusionists named Gob…
February 19, 2008 at 5:37 pmgay 80s dude is all OVER this party…i like the one pic of him twisting that knob the best…who needs to know how to play an instrument these days???
February 19, 2008 at 7:46 pmwow, ugly and/or fat people with stupid irony t shirts and gay haircuts.
awesome!
February 19, 2008 at 9:58 pmAdam, as you can see from that other ridiculous pic, not only can I knob twiddle, I’m quite proficient in air guitar as well.
Hot Karl, I forget, is it ok to wear a t-shirt of a band I actually like? What about a t-shirt that’s funny, but not necessarily ironic? I need to find an outfit for my gig at The Cat on Sat…
February 19, 2008 at 11:12 pmWhere’s the love? No pics of a man in a hat with a beard???
February 20, 2008 at 12:15 amSuch courageous folks, all coming out of the “I Have VD” closet with such vivaciousness & fervor!
Relatedly… do the people in the Valtrex commercials actually have Herpes? What person in their right mind would associate themselves with having a incurable STD that they don’t actually have? Or do the Herp-free require an extra fat paycheck to confess this untruth in national ad campaigns?
February 20, 2008 at 9:42 amPssst, thatholidaygirl, uh, Tom Hanks really didn’t have Aids in “Philadelphia,”
and Anthony Hopkins really doesn’t eat people.
They just get paid to pretend they do.
February 20, 2008 at 9:47 amTrue.
But they are also famous for being Academy Award Winning actors. The commercial people are famous for pretending to have herpes.
maybe they just have cold sores?
February 20, 2008 at 10:26 amIf they can find and pay people to pretend to like McGriddles then paying people to say they have herpes is easy…
February 20, 2008 at 10:44 amwhatever - McGriddles. Are. AWESOME.
February 20, 2008 at 11:38 amlet’s not describe things related to these photos as “gay,” okay? gay does not equal horrifying and gross.
February 20, 2008 at 1:05 pmSometimes it does.
February 20, 2008 at 1:12 pmno..we are pretty sure that gay 80’s dude is actually gay…like 89% sure.
February 20, 2008 at 3:22 pmUGH these people think they are cute. This is my anti drug.
February 21, 2008 at 3:44 amI took a few pix, too:
