Ok, I’ve been to a lot of crazy parties, but this looks nutsy! And tomato-y! More Tomato Battle info here, and more photos after the jump…

Bunol, Spain just called and said, “Run out of original ideas, Seattle?”
So, um, they took the Tomatina and turned it into a big commercial event? Sponsored by ROCKSTAR! ROCKSTAR DUDE!
I think I’ll take my $60 and put it in my “Actually Go to Spain” fund.
Looks like @1 beat me to it. But…well…yeah.
So which energy drink will sponsor a knock-off of Ivrea’s batlle of the oranges? I wonder if any of the participants have ever actually been to Spain?
They could’ve used all those tomatoes to make salads, mmm tomato salads… what a waste, sigh. Then again it’s another example of how the rich spend their time, $60 is a lot.
Next year, the running of the bulls down Pike – or is it Pine? Enter to run with them and find out, online through Stranger Tickets – only $55 plus a small handling fee, so a real bargain. Brought to you by VitaminWater and the Sorrento Hotel. Instant levamisole testing available just beforehand.
Bwahahaha! Do I need insurance with the $55 dollars to run with the bulls?
@1 for the Rotten Tomato win.
@6, you beat me to it. Running of the Bulls next. No beverages may be taken past the chain link fence, please.
LatFHs!!! 🙂
Nothing like a huge waste of food to symbolize the screwed up values of hipsters. Its just gross. 1 in 6 Americans in poverty. People lined up at food banks. Bummer Event.
commercialized hipster bullshit.
What a waste of good food.
What an absolute joke of an event.
Looked fun, but way too expensive.
Also, stop drinking [supports the family of Michael Savage] Rockstar energy, morons. Monster’s more than fine.
The Rockstar was actually just cans of plain water Rockstar had labeled, yes they were a sponsor. Most attendees only paid $25-30 to get in, and that included a free beer. You set the price at $60, and the 50% Groupon/Living Social makes it a “normal” price. Also, the tomatoes were rotten grocery store throw outs. Trust me, they STUNK!
FYI you guys, it was only $15 from zozi.com.
