The Night of Hardest Partying

As regular readers are doubtlessly aware, Eliza and I have a bit of an Andrew W.K. fixation… in particular, his career defining anthem to partying, “Party Hard.” We love the energy of the song, its absolutely fanatical devotion to the concept of not-just-partying, but partying until you sneeze brains. Its like partying is some sort of abstract state, the ultimate opposite of Zen.

But at the same time, we have to admit, we don’t follow the immortal wisdom of Andrew W.K. We don’t party hard. Not really. Not all the time. Only sometimes, and as the years pass, the periods between parties grow like tapeworms feeding off of our lives.

What the hell happened to us, guys? Like us, you, well… we know you work all night, and when you work you don’t feel all right. But we keep doing it. What went wrong in our lives? When did we forget how to party?

As a Monday morning reminder of what every day or every week is supposed to be like, Ectomo is proud to present this educational film: The Night of Hardest Partying. Two brave college freshmen — a dork and a Jewfro, sober as birds — begin partying so hard that it quickly snowballs into seventeen.

Guys, this is what pure, unapologetic, unremitting fun looks like when the tumors of snark and cynicism have been amputated and cauterized. If you can’t just go out and have fun like this, your life is missing something. I know mine is.
