Remember the Obama banner that is hanging over the infamous Bull picture at 1Oak? Well, it seem like partiers everywhere are using our new president as inspiration.  Check out the DJ’s Decal from last night’s party at B Bar.  Apparently, last night, DJs Derek and Jen kept it punk rock up front while in back Mia Moretti and Molly Thompson held down the back room.
