This year was nucking futs. Easily a couple hundred people. At 3:00am, there were buses coming from downtown, completely full of people in costume heading to “that villa party.” Was it out of hand? I can’t decide that for everyone. Some people loved it, others thought it was way too crowded. At the peak, the dance floor was strictly “do the minnow” room only. Amazingly no cops were called. They stopped by once on a routine drive by to note, “that’s way too many people on the roof.” A valid point. I’ve got no idea what the load capacity of the villa roof is, and I’m not interested in pushing it to failure.
As usual, a couple “aspiring DJs”/drunken assholes kept fucking with the DJ gear. You can hear one of them banging away on the piano, and being ejected at exactly 45:10 in the mix. The other guy, after his second warning, said “I do it because I love you man.” Fair enough. Roommates Brad and Greg helped with DJing, and DJ GoreMay. Brad and GoreMay bookend this year’s mix.
Thanks to everyone who attended, for the good times, great costumes, and good spirits. As always.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say this is a real-life Ed Hardy drawing. If I’m right, great costume idea! If I’m wrong, I have slighted you beyond forgiveness. (p) Greg D
