may the forth be with you

mark was passing through town last night, on his way back to LA coming from vienna. when he arrived at my place, he told me that his friends invited us to a party in williamsburg (why is shit always in williamsburg?). anyway, i was a little leary, since we were told it was some weird star wars party. i was picturing a bunch of dorky dudes swillin a few in a heated star wars roll playing game.

don't get me wrong. i love a good dork party, but when we were told it was a wednesday night kegger, we were there. getting out of the car on a dark industrial street off broadway, we saw two other people looking around the decrepid building. as we walked up to them, the girl looked at me and questioned "may the forth be with you?" i wasn't sure if she had a lisp or if i was missing something, but i figured it had to have something to do with the star wars party.

we found the entrance to the basement loft style apartment and it seemed empty. but as we walked back into the depths of the creepy place, we saw the sausage fest happening in the back... lots of boys wearing "revenge of the sith" and "jedi knight" shirts milling around with plastic cups of cheap beer. perfect! we found our friends in a quiet nook in one of the make-shift bedrooms. pouring our cups' worth of keg beer and making ourselves comfortable, we settled into the weird star wars party.

sure, it was a strange place, but i was having a good time. about 1am, the party host threw on the disco version of the star wars theme song by meko. HA!! i was loving it and got into some serious chair dancing. not too much later, the host went back to his itunes and put on a super cheesy dance party mix... we're talking one of those cd's you can buy off tv called "sizzlin' hot party jams" or something. soon enough the dorks streamed into the little bedroom and started shaking their rumps to the likes of "in da club" and "big poppa." hilarious! all of us got up and got into it too. an impromptu geek fest wednesday night kegger dance party, with a star wars theme. OH, and i found out what was up with the girl with the lisp earlier... it was may 4th... may the forth be with you!!" pretty clever!
