DEATHJAM 3.0
Yes, it is already time for another Micro Zap. Thanks for the people the made it out to ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST. Who knew that people would dance to the same song for 4 and a half hours (and would have longer if the cops hadn't shut it down)?
Moving on to less annoying things, Sarah and I will be celebrating our 30th birthday party on Friday, May 9th. This is kinda involved, and it takes some guts. Do you have the guts for a DEATHJAM?
The plan for the big day:
1. In the afternoon I'm going to Oakland and renting a Segway. It's pretty expensive but I've been dreaming of riding a Segway since the GINGER invention leaked and have planned to ride one on my 30th birthday for a long time now. Join me if you like. I'll be going at around 1:30pm

2. After the ultimate thrill of the segway, I'll dine at Lanesplitter's pizza in Berkeley. Join me if you wish. 6pm-ish. 2033 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley, CA.
3. (This is where the official ass official birthday festivities begin) Let's say at around 9pm, everyone meet up at this wild bar in a little town called Port Costa. Past Berkeley. Seems like a really fun bar to jam some brews and birthday shots at.

4. After we've successfully jammed it to the bone at the bar and the place is closing down, don't worry: the party continues at this shitty, haunted, cheap hotel across the street. It used to be a bordello and people go there to party all the time. Deathjam.

Who's down for a deathjam? Lemme know which facets your interesting in jamming.
30 years' worth of thank yous; it's all been building up to this.

explanation
For those who didn't make it to the Mystery Zap, it's offical title was called Another One Bites The Dust.
I hung a poster on the wall with said title written at the top. Once everyone arrived, I collected two dollars from each person and explained that we were in for a dance endurance contest. Everyone was to dance continuously until they couldn't take it anymore. Once they stopped they would write their name on the poster, in numerical order. The last person dancing would win the pot of money.
I started the music at 11:15. On came Another One Bites The Dust. That was the only song played, over and over and over again. To my complete and utter surprise, no one quit for at least the first hour and a half. I thought there was so way the entire exercise would last an hour. Well, the cops came at 3:45 in the morning and made us shut it down. There were still five people left in the running so we just split the money between them.
What the fuck. 4 and a half hours.

Mystery Zap
It has been too long. Sorry.
Due to the nature of this next zap, meaning it's gotta be a surprise for it to work, no details will be given ahead of time.
Just show up at my house at around 9pm on Saturday, April 19th. Bring 2 dollars and some brews and be ready to JAM. It's not big whoop though, so don't get too nervous or excited.
And there will be another Zap called DEATHJAM coming at the beginning of May. Stay tuned.
Thank you, life.
