A Reason To Go Out in Williamsburg? How About Running Into Bill Murray!
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Not too long ago Brian (Pan) came into the office with a “story” about how Bill Murray was party-hopping from random Halloween house parties all over the neighborhood. “Yeah right Brian!” was the general reaction to his claims until he provided photographic proof a few days later.
Those of you living outside of NYC, or even just outside Williamburg are probably completely oblivious to the whispers of Bill Murray being here or there permeating small talk and local forum chatter. These aren’t the usual “Oh Karen O or Michael Pitt (click the IMDB link for an “Ohhh! That guy!” moment) were out at such & such place/who cares?” type dialogues… it’s Bill Fuckin’ Murray!
It seems like the whispers have obviously gotten loud enough to warrant some intervention from the authorities, The NY Post’s Page Six. Page Six Magazine ran an article on the Bill Murray/Hipster Party Phenomenon this past Sunday which you can read here.
Reading this article I feel like Bill Murray is slowly turning into an amalgamation of his character from Rushmore & Broken Flowers. Midlife crisis or not, nothing would make my night (I’m sure many people’s nights) like being randomly chatted up by DOCTOR Peter Venkman. But alas I’m sure this article is like the Keymaster to his Gatekeeper and a signal of the end of days… of Bull Murray randomly crashing house parties.
