Not to be bossy, but well, too late.
Song 128.
Here are some tips:
-Show off the fucking building you are celebrating. Especially when it’s THIS badass.
-Impressing people with your “vibe” is so 2000.
-If you’re gonna charge people $75 then have some food for christsakes.
You might as well have had that party in a strip mall with all your creativity. God Is In The Details* my friends. And while the Inland Steel Building might be an Icon your party was an Iconic bore.
