11:30 — The Best Fucking Thing Ever

Posted by on November 8 at 23:30 PM

From the comfort of the Mirabeau Room, Party Crasher takes a slow sip of whiskey and wraps up a long night on the Party Bus:

Music for America is an organization dedicated to mobilizing 14-30 year olds, who will soon become the biggest voting bloc in the nation, through the music industry, using the same tactics that the right has used in mobilizing religious voters. Their Party Bus hit nine parties tonight, and consumed or stole more than 50 beers (not including Party Crasher’s nine beers and 1.5 lbs of finger-food). Toward the end of the night, one Party Bus rider, standing on the sidewalk, raised his arms above his head, and shouted: “Local Politics is the best fucking thing ever!” Then, he pointed at some passersby, and shouted, “Did you vote you pussies?”

King County Councilmember Dow Constantine, who got on the bus en route with a lovely female companion, said: “It was everything I hoped it would be.” And if what he hoped was to get drunk with a lot young, cute, politically minded girls, then Party Crasher can attest that he probably got what he was looking for.

Jim, the bus driver, smiling and shaking his head at all this, gave a thumbs up as he dropped everyone back off at the Mirabeau Room. “You guys are great, keep up the good work,” he said. Then he headed back to Renton, his bus littered with Kid Valley bags and stashed empty Corona bottles.
