Mardi Gras...gnar town (a random story from Nic(k))

Mardi Gras! A wild holiday enjoyed by the entire United States- I usually celebrate it by spending the day in my front yard mowing the lawn with my tank top and Mardi Gras beads swangin’ around my neck, blaring various techno tracks. However, this year, Mardi Gras arrived a little earlier than expected and to my delightful surprise so did a DP (Dance Party)!!!!! We could only judge the magnitude of this event by the obscene amount of Facebook messages we received about it! So me and my boys: the infamous Stan Gernudd, Nic Lane (mahn/mon!), and Morg (producer of the BFA track “Beeba Vision”) Backus, made our way out to Bellevue to celebrate some bdays of people we don't know at the Westin Hotel. After arriving, we were escorted to the 4th floor as loud, blaring music became within earshot. However, the moment we stepped out of the elevator our ears were delighted with the sounds of Qawwali (Traditional Ramadan Holiday music)!! As I pranced around the lobby for a few moments with my Islamic brethren, I soon realized that the Mardi Gras DP was co-sharing its floor space with a Ramadan Celebration! So as we turned the corner and made our way into the KUBE 93 (Gnar-arrly) sponsored birthday celebration, we were astounded by the mass amounts of “shirtless eastside dudes” that made up about ¾ of the entire party’s population. They were barely wearing anything...like i definally saw at least 6 dudes in like american apparel bikini like bottoms. (To everyone’s dismay, I did not take off my shirt) As disappointing as this situation seemed to be, we didn’t let it get the best of us! We made rounds around the dance floor introducing ourselves under the aliases of “Tim”, “Tom”, and “Peter,” saying we went to Skyline (Connor Gacek, anybody!?). However, we soon became entrenched in the boredom of seeing wild eastside duders flying around the dance floor so we decided to call it a night… The only advice I can give my dedicated readers is this: Beware of future “Eastside Dance Parties” posted on Facebook Events.
