I just can't resist throwing parties at the chai hut. but you see, technically, we are a micro-brewery and that's very different from being a party place.
this is why we are so forward about the chai hut being alcohol free! we been wanting things to be real chill as we been skating some thin ice with the city...

as many of you know, i tend not to ask permission to do things that must be done. all our party advertising says, "The Chai Hut is alcohol free * Please choose not to booze * Community = all ages". that's me offering the community a place to gather and get down, in exchange for $7 and a night off the sauce.

each time we've had a party, the police have surfed the parking lot. but they have never had any reason to approach the building and thus we have been blessed with the opportunity to dance till six in the morning! this time, someone/s left beer bottles sitting outside their car, which motivated the police to check us out. this prompted a call to the fire department, which opened up several occupancy issues and a deadline for compliance. in other words, a big can o worms.

thanks to all of you who prayed for us while you boogied, you are powerful miracle workers! our brush with the authorities has been facilitated by you to be easy and auspicious. i am grateful.

to those of you drinking that night, that didn't do it at the Chai Hut, discretion is a high form of respect. thanks for showing it.

to those who didn't, what the fuck ever. i was freezing my ass off outside, playing 20 questions with the cops, while ana sia and danny corn were slayin' it.... totally sucky. to know you were inside oblivious and groovin' is....bittersweet. most assuredly, the next party will be a private one.

there are some fantastic pics of the party on the chai hut tribe. go check them out. thanks to everyone that played and played and played, big love to you!
