holy awkward turtle


i went out last night for halloween part 2...big mistake. after attempting to rescue the lamest dance party i've ever witnessed by DJing with YouTube (which is nearly impossible), i headed downtown with a high school friend i hadn't seen in 6 years (who is facebook stalking me) and two girls i barely knew.

we arrived at a tragically hip bar only to realize that of the 150+ packed in the bar...nobody was dressed up. given the situation, i taught the three girls awkward turtle, then set out to ease some awkwardness. i would randomly approach hipsters and compliment them on their wonderful costume, then guess who they were dressed up as ie. Kevin Bacon/Mel Gibson etc, compliment them one more time before returning to the girls and a glass of whiskey (on the rocks).

what i learned...
-there are actually people in the world that don't get excited when dancing to annie, or bizmarkie, or hot chip
-laughter is the best medicine but whiskey tastes better

i am living out of context

I've learned there are tons of people who don't get excited by hot chip and other good music. I call them Stanford students.
