THE Big Green Bus Party.

Have you ever woken up knowing that the day ahead was destined to be great? That every action, breath taken, and word spoken is fatefully predetermined not only to be graceful but impactful (a day that you can make up words like ‘impactful’ and get away with it) as well? Surprisingly, not every Big Green bus morning is like this, but on this particular day the planets aligned and The Big Green Bus embraced it’s inner superstar.

For breakfast, Elliott (BGB ’06) escorted us to The Market where the sea of people parted for our divine presence. Actually, to be completely honest, the sea didn’t so much part as it did try to drown us (some people just can’t seem to fathom greatness such as ours) as we ducked dove and darted toward the vendor selling adorably small hot doughnuts. After our cute pastry consumption and some egregious pointing at the tourists who were in turn egregiously pointing at the fish vendors who were eating up the attention of the crowd (I’d much rather a doughnut) we went our separate ways to adventure elsewheres.

Our crew of eco-argonauts reconvened in the afternoon to attend ‘The Big Green Bus Party’ that the ever-suave Elliott May had spent weeks preparing for us. It was described to us as a chill fun event that we couldn’t help but be majorly stoked for. Sickies. In other words we were ready for an awesome time, but the expectations we had formed from the surf-speech laden blurb were entirely exceeded.

At 5pm the gates to the Evo (A skate-ski-board-apparel-Seattle-retailer) parking lot opened where the band ‘A Handful of Lovin’ played in front of our bus, Sierra Nevada beer was provided alongside BBQ food and (of course!) Clif Bar samples. The entire BGB Crew and party staff wore Big Green Bus Party Shirts (80% Bamboo!) and Jackets provided by FiveUltimate who had a Disc-Dunktank next to the bus.

On the road we had obviously been treated like JV celebrities before, but this party shed the bus of the Jonathan Taylor Thomas exterior and revealed our true inner Justin Timberlake. The transformation from JTT to JT emanated from our Big Green Lovin’ Machine well into the night as the band stopped and the DJ began to spin inside beckoning partygoers to the dance floor. The bus was lit up and packed with people until the party ended sometime past midnight. After having talked to people all night, with a fair share of goodtimes dancing and laughing inner dispersed like a good pancake mix, we rolled back to Elliott’s and ended the night with some tunes, beer, and friends. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Rockin' out at Evo
