Standard #BlogResearchSaturday for Dusty & Polly
#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @DustyCPollyD
This past Saturday, Dusty & Polly went to see their friends London Shover and Will Rothaar play the upstairs room of @theroxy. You guys saw the tweets. It kind of ruled. But after all our crazy tweeting, we felt we owed you the whole story, so here it is.
We had never been to the upstairs room in The Roxy, but it's cozy and dark and awesome. In addition to London on guitar & Will on djembe, their band consists of Efe on the bongos and Brafo on the bass. All four are pretty easy on the eyes, not to mention hella talented. The band following them had *a flute* and after Dusty & Polly geeked out about that for a few minutes, our band friends invited us to the after party, which we attended. Duh.
We retreated in to the hills behind the Rainbow Room to this rad house that belonged to a friend of Will's. London broke out his guitar and some chick with a really good voice-- whose name I wish I'd gotten because I want to give her ups-- started singing. Polly and I, clutching our glasses of vodka, proceeded to have a photo shoot in a bathroom that was bigger and nicer than both of our apartments combined. There was a bottle of this really beautifully painted skeleton head tequila being passed around. Songs were sung, tequila was enjoyed, band boys were chatted up. The resident thespian and our badass friend Ava Bogle entertained us all. Solid evening.
A few hours later, we decided we really needed a burrito, so we left. As we were walking down one of windy, hilly streets, a limousine pulled up beside us and the window rolled down. "Hey!" the driver shouted, "you need a ride?" We flashed our pearly whites and said, of course we do! He exited the car and opened the door for us, and we were brought back to the valet lot in style.
After our mega classy ride to our car, we stopped at a burrito truck in Echo Park and got yelled at for taking too many condiments.
And THAT'S how Dusty & Polly do a #BlogResearchSaturday.
