here’s the scene:

Casey, Steve, and myself head over to Trilogy from the office at 5pm. From 5-7pm they have just about the greatest happy hour ever: a bottomless glass of wine and an appetizer for $8, which really is just unbeatable. As the hours progress more and more folks show up and we’re having a merry old time. Several glasses of wine later they have last call for the bottomless glass….we all down another and decide it’s time to get some real food.

Over to Pizza Calore for a few slices, which we then take up to the Rooftop deck of The Chief Good offices (which we sadly only have till the end of the month!).

We eat, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and make a plan of action for the rest of the evening. A few folks split off, but myself, Keith, and Brian Berger decide to keep the night rolling. While on the roof, we spot what looks to be a crazy happening party on another roof deck about a block down. The game is set, we’re gonna crash this party.

We walk down Pearl, find our way to the elevator of the building, easy enough, no problems so far! While in the elevator, we put our game faces on, decide that we’ll just say “Heather, John, and Joe told us to meet them here”. Fantastic, we’re all on the same page!

Elevator opens and we transform, ain’t nobody gonna stop us from crashing this party….as we walk towards the people and the noise, time slows down a bit…..we hear music, see party decorations, and a lot of short people. An tall older man steps in front of us, and a disgruntled looking older women quickly leaps to our side and asks “Can I help you gentlemen?” Not to be phased, Keith immediately springs into action: “We’re hear to meet Heather, John, and Joe. They told us it’d be cool if we came”.

It’s then we realize, this people aren’t just crazy short, they’re YOUNG!

The older woman cackles “Uh, I don’t think so guys. This is a MIDDLE SCHOOL PARTY“.
