Wow. Can't believe it's been over a week since this quote epic unquote event went down. That was one of the most common words used to define it. I say it was great kicking it with fam and some of my closest friends from out of town. I ran around crazy but had a few good solid neighbors and family who held it down and made it happen. Front painting wood panels to constructing disco ball twirling apparatuses, to sioux chef duty'ing. It was a lot of work before and after but a lot of fun. I think it will take us a year to recover. Happy May Fly suckas!!
Also here's a blog feature of the party on The2econdFloor.com
A community-oriented art & graphic design collective. We make graphic apparel, hand-crafted accessories and produce events. And most importantly, spew randomness about important and non-important topics.
