To celebrate our recent integration with GIPHY, the most logical thing to do was host a Roller Disco.
So let me give you the skinny on what went down last night in Brooklyn:
We booked out the entire LeFrak Roller Skating Rink in Prospect Park and filled it with New York City’s finest: I’m talking full-on neon tank tops, striped tube socks, bootie sweat-shorts, 70s mustaches, gold chains, leisure suits and Zumba pants.
I even saw a guy roller-skating all night in 90-degree weather in a full tuxedo. Bow-tie and all. True story.
DJ Toy and DJ Aimz kept the music going, playing to the crowd with some throwbacks to the 90s and early 2000's. Because nothing goes better with roller skating than Montell Jordan and some early Mariah. Speaking of, here's Amy Martin from Spotify tearing it UP on the sidelines. (I'm pretty sure she was breaking it down to "This is How We Do It.")
One of my favorite parts of the night were some impromptu performances by Jake, Michael, Jovan, Dahi and Caleb of Hudson Horns. If you've never seen these guys, I suggest you drop everything and check 'em out now. Incredible.
Major thank yous to everyone at GIPHY (what's up, Julie?!), the team at LeFrak Roller Skating Rink, our honorary Party Scientist Amie Segal from Flavor Productions, and to all of you lovely ladies and lads who came out yesterday to get your groove on with us. You looked good out there.
