5 observations from my birthday party @ Marquee

1) If you put your mind to it, it is possible to eat an entire cupcake in one bite. 2) The only good magic trick to perform in a club is the one that doesn’t require talking. 3) The ultimate pickup line is, “Hi, I’m Ricky.” (I mean, if your name isn’t Ricky, you shouldn’t say that it is; you should insert your own name.) 4) If you come to Marquee’s Library room dressed like a librarian, you’re going to ...
