Tonight At Plush: Flashlight Party
There was a time when kids would be all upset about how all those clubberz at the kLuBz would be only into drugs and sex. That no one was there just to dance and maybe make-out with a stranger or eight. So those kids, dejected by the rampant cynicism of the nightlife around them, started what were referred to as "flashlight parties" in their rooms/tents/parents' garages, where they would flash their flashlights around in complete sobriety, pretending both that it resembled the very kLuBz they loathed, and that they were having an awesome time.
Nothing wrong with having a constitution and sticking with it. Pretty sweet.
It is also sweet to see that someone has co-opted this odd phenomenon (only in name), and dedided to rock that shit in a bar where people get drunk and try to have sex with one another. Who says that irony is dead, right?
The Flashlight Party monkeys will be practicing their brand of irony tonight. Monkeys killing televisions on dead end streets! Yes! And word around the campfire* is that it will also be the birthday celebration of one the members, Orlando Mas.
*there will be no campfires at Plush, just so there’s no confusion about that.
