What the Hell is a Jerky Party?!


On June 30th, 2010, hundreds of people flowed through the doors of Brooklyn Fireproof East to enjoy handfuls, mouthfuls, and beer-mouths full of jerky; and there was much rejoicing.
I won't bore you with the heroics that made the night possible. No, really, I'm not going to. Seriously, I've got-- fine.
:
Though the jerky was center stage, it was nearly overshadowed by the mind-melting music party that simply had to break out, given the number of acts we booked. We had some body-humpin' beats from Trifling Mental Soundsystem, a palate cleansing opening act by Dexter Scott, and an historic appearance by the highly regarded but totally un-beefy (except jake) Freelance Whales.
Accommodations were provided by the always host-pitable Brooklyn Fireproof East (thanks Leslie, Thomas and Sean, and of course James for hookin us up), copious PBR by the all-giving Rachel Lennon and Her Fruitful Connection, exquisite snapshots Liz Vidyarthi, and [jerky] tacos by the dudes of Tacolada Taco Truck. We are also severely indebted to our creative-photoshop consultant, Brenna Powers, who supplied the art work.
And of course, the SlantShack Jerky girls (photos to come):
Alyson Baker
Mai Teshima
Elif Muyesser
Lizzie Olson
Sarah Millsaps
Megan Edwards
Julie Maddox
Christen Currie
Nina Mahjoub
Debbie Williams
Brigid Abraham
Ashley Kurose
Gina Grinstead
Ailie Jenkins
If you missed it, I'm sorry. There may be more, there may not. We can't say for sure. Jerky makes its own rules...our job is to oblige.
