Scott doing some hooping. Unbeknownst to all the party guests, Siege had cut a hole into the top of the projection screen and hidden a video camera. If you look at his right hand you'll see he's holding the remote control he was using to activate the camera and record people hula hooping from the vantage point of the screen! SNEAKY!
In the game there's a guy who throws a new hula hoop "at you" and you have to stop hula hooping and put both your arms up and lean in order to "catch" it. It's fun.
A couple days after the party, we all received an email from him with a link to a surprise video he'd edited together with all the clandestine hula hooping video he'd shot. It. Is. Amazing. My favorite part is the highlight reel of everyone throwing their hands up and leaning that starts around the 1:45 minute mark (right after Siege does the "white man's overbite") and just keeps getting better. (PS - Make sure you check out Ellen's sideways "tit-sway" at 2:14. Amazing.)
These girls might look regular old wacky Williamsburg girls, but they were not. They were wacky Bucharest girls from Romania AND THEY WERE AWESOME. Check out the girl in the background tapping her friend on the shoulder - "I'm hooping next - cue up my jam an' shit."
The thing that best explains why Antony "Posh Tony" Ellis is hula-hooping in the kebab shop that's on the corner of Orchard and Houston is the timestamp on the photo: Saturday, January 21, 2006 5:11:52am.
If you're looking for a little bonus material, here's a video of Baron hulahooping naked. I wish my camera had sound so you could hear Sarah cackling while Greg the Boyfriend moans "Oh, Jesus! He's hulahooping naked! Oh, Jesus!" (By the way, I had this up on YouTube but it kept being deleted! I actually had to sign up for something called Yuvutu, which is like the amateur porno version of YouTube, in order to bring you Baron's floppy-penis hijinx in all their full-motion glory! Enjoy!)
So Baron grabbed a nearby hula hoop and started doing some sort of crazy, gyrating exotic I'm-in-my-undies hula dance in front of Sarah who was laughing so hard she started crying.
