It’s sleeting today in NYC, which is actually God sobbing because he missed the Meatball Takedown! Sorry God, you weren’t the only one, and these Takedowns sell out pretty quick, because they are VERY POPULAR!!! And a January Takedown is literally the only good thing that happens during what scientists commonly refer to as “The Crappiest Month”. No big woop because the Ice Cream Takedown is coming up this summer, and I know you guys are poised like pythons of pure hate for that next Brooklyn Takedown! Word up!!!!
Thanks to all the Meatballerz. You filled the Bell House with 6000+ meatballz, and according to the register, you all also drank a ton of awesome booze!!!! The Bell House loves you back!!! Man, was that a party!!! Seriously, I kind of think Meatballz is my new favorite takedown!
