Hopkins Rave

I'm not sure who exactly came up with the idea for a front porch rave at the honors house. Dingel and I had been discussing things of that nature off and on for awhile, and yesterday we finally decided to do it. So around 7:30, D.Squared arrived with turntables and records, ready to jam. After a quick set up job with the help of yours truly, we had ourselves a decent venue, with visuals and all.

At first it was a modest party, with only the truly devoted dancing around. But after word of mouth spread, the fans came from far and wide to hear the stylings of D.Squared. Sarah broke out the glowsticks, and the dance party quickly developed into a rave. Everyone was jumping around to the music, screaming for more D.Squared. The dance floor got so full, people were forced to dance on the roof. The huge beats being thrown down could be heard all the way out to the aluminum Jesus, and as far away as Lincoln and the theater.

D.Squared was at the decks for over 3 hours, never letting up. He even came down from the booth to mix it up with his adoring public and even show off his crazy poi skills. This was a night that will not be forgotten. Remember: Jesus Raves.

I finally got around to combining all the video clips I took. Look below for a rather cool video.

Oh, and sorry in advance, but there aren't any comments for these pictures. I know my usual wit will be missed, but there are just too many pictures that are basically the same for me to come up with something new to say every time. Just think funny thoughts as you look at the photos.
