The Amerikaaner

Yesterday night we threw arguably the largest and most epic 3rd of July Party ever experienced by the Garden Center Apartments. While most patriotic Americans choose the 4th to celebrate our breaking of ties with Britain, we thought it fitting to celebrate on the 3rd to commemorate the greatest All-Nighter in history. That’s right, Thomas Jefferson hopped up on Red Bull and Cheetos to cram out the Declaration of Independence in time for the 4th of July deadline. As we found out, hiring kegs in South Africa is quite the ordeal and (from the crowd of locals drawn to our gathering) most likely doesn’t happen all that often. I am reminded of Ron Burgundy’s conversation with his buddies Champ and Brick after the famous news-anchor battle of San Diego, “Boy, that escalated quickly…I mean, that really got out of hand fast.” Not much photographic evidence remains of the night, which may or may not be a good thing. Email me if you want stories.

  2. Hey Collin! How long will you be in SA? I have many friends in Capetown, Joburg, Pretoria, and Namibia. All guys that I went to flight school with. I'm sure you have found plenty to do, but let me know if you need free tour guides or just want to party with the locals. An awesome crew! Hope your having fun.
