Vice's Halloween Party Went Shitty for Titus Andronicus Singer Patrick Stickles...

Titus Andronicus’ blog via BrooklynVegan:

“You can’t have that flag in here,” he told me.

“Huh?” I asked.

“You can’t have that flag in here, you have to take it outside,” he replied.

“The flag?” I asked, confused.

“Just step outside,” he said calmly.

This seemed like an odd request, but hey, he knows what he’s talking about right, and perhaps he just wants to explain things more clearly to me when we are further displaced from the incessant thumping of electronic music, so I followed him a few yards in the direction of the door, at which point, he yelled, “NOW LEAVE!” and, grabbing me around the torso, began forcing me towards the metal barricades. I protested, primarily in the form of “Hey! Hey!” Not my most locquacious moment, but I was baffled. Growing frustrated at the effort it was taking to get a one hundred forty pound man in tights to do what he wanted, this gentleman grabbed me around the throat and lifted me off the pavement, tossing me over the barricade and onto the sidewalk. I figure that either, a) he saw his position of authority as a good opportunity to stomp queers like he used to with the other good old boys, or, b) this guy was a real American and seeing a degenerate hipster like me hoisting Old Glory was just so offensive a sight that he was driven into a blind rage, like any reasonable person would.
