It's Been One Nerdy Year!
thirst. is one year old! One year of shameless desire to learn, flirt, and debauch your way into new friends and ideas! To celebrate, we gave you something off the wall, new, and nerdy, a breakdown of the super nerdy world of professional wrestling. Yeah, we thought so. Marissa Payne of Scoutmob DC and Victor Rortvedt suplexed knowledge on-stage at our one year anniversary blow out on August 30th at U Street Music Hall. We enjoyed delicious complimentary food from Chef Allison Sosna of Microgreens and beats by DJ Yorker.
