On Friday, Quinn threw OurStage’s first ever mass Party Line and with the amount of people who showed up, it turned into an all out rager. Let’s break down what happened.

1. Ever seen The Day After Tomorrow? Like that part when that huge wave descends on NYC and it’s total chaos? That’s what it felt like when we opened up the chat at 3pm. I’ve never seen such deluge of rapid fire messaging. I think I had a little epileptic shock trying to keep up.

2. OurStage fans and artists are a hilarious bunch. From the SunDogs‘ idea to write the song “It’s Okay to Think Quinn is Hot” to Quinn dropping the line, “We don’t want To Catch a Predator to show up to this chat,” the chat had all of us laughing with what you all came up with.
[NOTE: It's not a real chat unless someone mentions TCAP.]

3. I never realized how much work would go into pulling off the Party Line. Let’s just say that the interns get such “glamorous” work. Like spending four hours researching all the semi-finalists and making playlists that would be rendered obsolete. Not like I am bitter or anything!

4. Because of you guys, our first huge Party Line was a great success! I was suddenly transported back into 8th grade when my friends and I would have chat rooms with each other. Thankfully there was a lot less of “OMG, boyz!”

I have to give props to Quinn for being such a good host and for actually participating in the chat while trying to keep things in order. You should have seen his reactions to Alyssa starting the “Quinn is hot” meme. Priceless.

We had good music, good conversation, and good times. What more could we ask for?
Let’s do this again, OurStage. I’ll bring the tunes and you bring the jokes.
