The 52 Release Party was AMAZING!

On February 26 (2/26 or 2x26=52) the red carpet rolled out and the flash bulbs began to fire. What followed was an amazing mix of eating, drinking, gaming and musical excellence!

First up was Austin with his DJ majestic rhythms, filling any kind of void throughout the evening. Next up was The Burdens who played a set that got the fist pumping crowd chanting and motivated! What followed was a singer-less band called Fruit Of The Legion Of Loom, who's precision and intensity rallied the guests to the next level. During the delightful chaos of "Johnny", a young boy who tore up the dance floor, there was a great array of food and entertainment being offered.

If you were at the party I need not say how New York New York's pizza was. I often asked what people thought of the pizza and every time I was met with the same similar answer, "its AMAZING!". Pat, Charlie and Dina created their masterful pizza from a mere portable electric oven that night. Imagine how the pizza must taste at their restaurant! I need not imagine, I have been there and tasted it and yes, the pizza is brilliant! Come see them at 7737 SW Barbur Blvd Portland, OR 97219! You may catch The 52 there!

The coffee was prepared by an espresso enthusiast by the name of Alain (Allen) who demonstrates much passion in his espresso making ability! A major highlight on our Tuesday nights at New York New York is Alain's cappuccino! Greatness at its friendliness!

Bruce was the man behind serving the liquid delightfulness. With his charming smile and his attention to the guests needs, Bruce was truly a star at the party!

John Adelman and John Mann with Game Crazy re-enforced The 52's dedication to the video game culture. The John's brought two killer video game interacts that kept our guests entertained all night!

Our silent warrior during the party was Rockstar Energy Drink who helped keep the crowd energized and excited. Rockstar has ALWAYS been very generous with their contributions and remain a great partner within The 52 culture!

When the dust settled and the last box was carried out from Hipbone Studio, I looked back and smiled. I knew we were onto something and I could clearly see the future. We are The 52, YOU are The 52.

Thank you.
