This Week in Party Crasher

Posted by on Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 11:56 AM

51fa/1233971927-partycrasher-570-1.jpgThis week in Party Crasher, Aaron Pickus explores a burning sensation:

The way is dark and winding and lined with trees. Snow falls softly on the road, through the headlights, in the woods, and onto Puget Sound. We park our car and approach the bonfire, unsure of the company surrounding it.

"You'll have slept with half the people here before you go," Jeff informs us as we shift our way into the gathering. We laugh awkwardly.

It's a lot of fun, and an especially nice juxtaposition between fun (the party sounds pretty awesome) and melancholy (the snow is very sad.) I love Pickus's news writing, but he really gets to let out with some great writing when he does Party Crasher. I hope you'll check out the whole thing.
