For the last two weeks we’ve been trying to figure out a way to help raise the funds needed to repair the bus.  Before too much brainstorming, we decided that another all day party/fest was in order.  We had a lot of success earlier this summer with all day events involving riding the bus and listening to our friends play awesome music. 

    The bus began making its rounds at about noon for an afternoon barbeque on the roof of Tillary.  A bit of rain forced the party downstairs temporarily, but didn’t stop the food from being enjoyed.  The bus then shuttled people to Santo’s Party House for the early evening portion of the event.  Our friend Ron Castellano is a partner in Santo’s and he offered to let us use a room for the party.  From 7-10pm we had Friends with Benefits (Chico and Jeremy) spinning a wild dance party. 

    After Friends with Benefits closed, the party moved upstairs to the main room for the next two hours where there were sightings of dollar bills and booty shaking on the dance floor.  I quickly gathered the three dollars and took them for Bus donations. 

    Midnight rolled around and with it the bus.  The bus pulled up to Santo’s and incited quite the commotion outside the popular night club.  After a mini dance party in the bus, Gus showed up with a 5 gallon water jug for the bus and we were ready to go.  A packed bus ride back to Tillary forced people to better know each other.

    Back at Tillary, the party continued with DJ Grivno spinning and dogs dancing.

All in all, a great success.  We were able to raise $350 towards the bus fund.  Special Thanks to everyone at Tillary, Friends with Benefits, Ron and Santo’s Party House and everyone who came out to show their support!
