Not sure how Brian did it, but since he is so tight with El Vortex he got an “El Vortex +9” put on the Nike party list.  We were hyped to say the least and determined to drink as many free drinks as we could on Nike’s tab.Fuzz and Neil beers in hand posing with the new Salazar shoe.It took Brian three tries to get this photo of me just right.  Photo evidence that I am an idiot and set my beer on the display.  The shoes look pretty sick actually.  I don’t like mids though.  Oh, and I have this huge thing against Nike too, but man, that’s getting harder and harder to stick to these days.Nike went all out.  Custom alien head men’s room sign.After beating me in the pizza eating contest the night before Brian was on a victory lap chowing down cupcake after brownie.  He was probably bragging about his victory to Smurfette.Brian eating again and fanning out on Bryce Kanights.Brian and Terry knee deep in the hooplaTwo bands played.  One was Shrine Builder.  I thought they were decent.... But Lazer loved them!Okay, he really loved them.  And so did Sandy.  Rock out!Did I mention that Peter Hewitt thought I was Forrest Griffin?  Well, he did.Around 4:00 am now.  After Fuzz threw his shoes at a cab we figured we better head in.  Lazer wanted to see if his new Shrine Builder record was black vinyl or not.  Nope, it was crazy pink/purple/red vinyl we yelled loud to celebrate. No one moved.  Oh well.  Insanely fun night.
