Shawapalooza
The day finally came for the much anticipated Shawapalooza party. There were about 300 or more people expected. We were set. It was going to be the party to end all Shaw parties.
There were a good 100 people there by around 4PM and the police had come a few times, when the landlord showed up and told everyone they had to leave. It was quite the bummer. The Whiskey Saints & the super hyped debut performance of the Buck Juan Criz, had not even happened yet. I must say that the police would definitely have come if that had happened.
Everyone left for a bit then about 70 or so people ended up coming back. It was a great time and everyone got re-tarded. Everyone came inside when it got dark and Sparrow & Mr. Goodling (Joel’s Dad). Played some songs and everyone sang. Drunken campfire singing, sans the fire.
Then it was time for The Buck Juan Criz show, inside. Everyone was super stoked & no one knew what to expect. Joel started things off. He rapped and introed all of us. People went nuts. Then we started the show. The first track is destined to make people get Buck wild, hence our name. We actually did the show out of order, but it didn’t matter. I must say I think people were impressed. I hope to keep the Criz workin on new shiz. We’re doin big things
Tim jumped on the decks for a few hours then we took turns spinning for a while. People got crazier & crazier as the night went on. It seemed like people just kept showing up. Our spinning turned into more of a spectator event than a dance party as it got later, but it was still fun. Over all the party, though it did not go as planned, was quite a time. I wonder where the homies are gonna move to now?
