That was one hell of a party

Posted by empirestateexpress On June - 20 - 2010

For those of you who couldn’t make our BBQ and show on 6/13, it went something like this: downpour, backyard BBQ, downpour, Ribfest, downpour, huge ESE dance party. Whatever cosmic forces were at work last Sunday night they were clearly in our favor, and when the groove hit the well-primed crowd everybody started moving. To be precise, a couple of cute girls started dancing, then everyone got into the act. We’ll be posting some additional footage over the next couple of weeks as we stitch everything together from that glorious hour. In the meantime sit back and enjoy our encore of “Mystery Train,” featuring special guest Jay Ziegler on guitar and the biggest dance party this side of Chicago.

Special thanks to everyone who came out and partied with us last week, the Horseshoe, Stefanie our mover and shaker, and Sarah Cupp for sharing this video:
