Vanella Ice

This last Saturday was McFadden’s two year anniversary. As an OSU campus bar I expected what one might expect. Drinking drunk people gyrating and drinking more. I have been to this bar many times on assignment for U-Weekly; an OSU weekly newspaper and I knew that this night would be a special addition to the gyrating drunk-fest…

Rob Van Winkle was supposed to show up and have some fun. I was told that he was there last year but I could gather no more information than that. I had no idea what to expect and all that I kept having pop up in my mind was those times I saw him on VH1; Angry and throwing fists at photographers. This was a little concerning to me as I was to be one of those people pointing a camera at him. Click! Click! Punch!!

I missed his entrance and I have yet to figure out how. I was there at the front door. I suppose that he was just sneaky. Finally a cool bouncer came up to me and said I was just told that he is up stairs in the back corner. I quickly said thank you and ran up to see.

He was there and there was no way to get near him. It was freaking packed. After trying to do some shots holding the camera above my head and hoping for the best I decided to get a little more aggressive. By “aggressive” I mean that I walked over to the bar manager and politely asked if I could come behind the bar and get some shots. They were nice and let me. This is where I acquired the best shots of the eve.

You can see some of the shot on my Flickr page.

Basiclly it puts my blog in my pocket. That is a good thing for me and perhaps a bad thing for everyone else.

This has to be the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
