‘Passion’ dummer parties solo? Not exactly.
The headline of today’s Oregon Daily Emerald boldly states: ”Passion’ drummer parties solo,’ in reference to the Passion Pit house party Friday night that was orchestrated by the Oregon Voice and The Nudelman in lieu of the band entirely postponing (Don’t say ‘cancelling’!) their performance that was scheduled to take place in the EMU Ballroom.
Of course, the Emerald headline is in need of correction.
In fact, 4/5 of the band were in attendance at the house party, along with DJ E603 and members of their crew. But whether or not it was Nate solo or with his comrades is irrelevant (Save for, you know, being accurate with headlines.) What matters is that the fine students at the University of Oregon didn’t get completely short-changed. The infectious tunes, loops and beats Nate delivered certainly highlighted an otherwise dark and dreary Eugene night.

Unlike the embedded video courtesy of Ivar at the Emerald suggests, the impromptu party was most certainly off-le-hook and came to a head in the early morning hours when swarms of police officers arrived to disperse the near 250+ people that packed the 12th and Washington basement.
The house received a $750 noise violation. No MIPs or furnishing citations were given.
If you’d like to help us help the inhabitants of the house with the now monetary woes, please feel free to send donations to: Oregon Voice, 1228 Erb Memorial Union, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97401.

Some of those people on the video should be ashamed of themselves.
Thanks for adding the bit about donations Stephen! Sarah and I went to court today, and our fines were each reduced to $225, bringing the total to $450. We would both greatly appreciate any monetary assistance, all you party pit passion-eers out there in the blog-o-sphere.
