When: Sat March 12
Where: South Ballard

When we get to the party, we figure it could go two ways. The invitation says that the party starts at noon, which is far too early for Party Crasher. So we decide that when we get there it will either be a raging, drunken debauchery factory or it will be people just mellowing around. Unfortunately for the posse, it turns out to be the latter.

We walk through the front yard, which is filled with random stuff on tables. Earlier during the party, there'd been a yard sale. We walk past a really cool tricked-out old taxi that has "Free Ride" written in the little taxi light box. The doorbell has a sign that reads "Save the Taxi!" We start to detect a theme.

It turns out the party is a fundraiser to save this taxi. Beer costs $2, and there is a kissing booth that has three levels of making out--sweet, naughty, and make-out sesh--and it costs between $1 and $3. Party Crasher throws down a dollar for a sweet kiss, and gets our lip bit in a kind of naughty way. It was a bargain!

Of course there is a dance floor, and it is deejayed by Mr. iPod. Three people are dancing to the Postal Service, including our favorite person of the party, who was wearing only a crossing guard vest and cut-off sweatpants. He was swaying, clapping, and gyrating as the posse made off into the night.
