90210 Party Gang Member NIZ recently took time from personally shutting down St. Vincent’s Hospital ward by ward to send out a message about the 90210 Party, because he did a little homework and found out that this is a special day, for yet another reason.  Here is the message we received by Telex earlier this morning:

This party isn’t just about celebrating the 90’s, it’s also about celebrating those 80’s babies bred to feed off the teet of the Tiffany Amber Thiessin’s and Jenny Garth’s of the world. Specifically its about celebrating one such day in the 80’s, Sept 2 1983 in fact, when Steven Lee Pristin was born.  Here is a picture shortly after they cut the chord on the little guy.  He’s keepin’ it ill (and I don’t mean cholera) straight from the womb.  Would you look at all that hair!!!

A momentous day for New York, Steve, soon to be known by the moniker “Everybody’s Favorite”, would go on to influence everyone from Funk Master Flex to lonely housewives to HBO’s current President, Mr. Bill “the Goat” Nelson.

After years of birthing cool across the five boroughs, he has recently set up shop in Prospect Heights, sleeping late and planning cultural domination of your mind through the great internets, sniffing out the new new faster than Kelly can take off her prom dress. Let’s be clear, he’s not just about gay hockey documentaries or smelling like money.  A consummate style-maker and heart breaker, (kinda like Dylan wouldn’t you say?) now a days you can find him getting Crunk from Brooklyn to Manhattan and back again.

And so, this Thursday, September 2, 2010 on the eve this most fabulous 90210 party, we want to get crunk with Everybody’s Favorite, he wants to get crunk with Everybody!!! And Everybody should  wish him a happy 90210 themed birthday at M1-5 at 10:00pm. 

We’d like to close this with a special word from the birthday boy, Everybody’s Favorite, so that he can explain yet another connection he has to 90210:

As a child I hated my name. 

I’m not sure if my distaste for my name began before or after the rise in popularity of the show 90210. But what I do know is the character Steve Sanders exacerbated my distaste for the name “Steve”. This guy had the goofiest hair and dated the ugliest girl.  I dreamt of a life where I was named Brandon or Dylan.  The name “Steve” was clearly the reason I had any social issues.

One would think that the other TV sitcom Steve - “Steven Urkell” – would be the one to embarrass my namesake.  But oddly enough, Urkell didn’t bother me as much.  Maybe it was the prominence of his last name. Maybe it was his cool alter ego “Stefan” – I can’t tell you for sure.. 

That being said, if you spend time with me and I’m around friends I knew when I was in elementary school – you’ll notice they all call me Steven.  It took many years of counseling to finally embrace the name “Steve”.  But I still hate that damn Steve Sanders!

Steven hates Steve, and for good reason.  We’ve got to help him get over his disdain for Steve Sanders as a collective whole by helping him celebrate his birthday in true 90210 fashion.  On Thursday, we’ll see you there!!!
