The Annual Thrillist Pool Party at the Grace Hotel was looked exactly like you would expect it to. Nerds in swimsuits playing with blow up toys while drinking shots of sponsored alcohol. I say that with the utmost love and affection. And, if anything, this party accomplished the task of getting Nick McGlynn to put his camera down-who knew a pool was all it took?!- hence the lovely Kate Miltner stepping in. Plus, what other party can you think of that gets Caroline McCarthy in a bathing suit, Dennis Crowley in mesh shorts, and Rex Sorgatz fondling blow up balls? Okay, you're right, it's a straight SXSW flashback...
