\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nWhen Amy Dettman first heard the suggestion to have the auction theme at Westerly Creek be a gangsta rap party, she thought it was a crazy idea. \u201cI remember thinking that it may end up seeming racist, or that maybe not everyone liked gangsta rap,\u201d says Dettman. \u201cWe looked hard at some other ideas, including a \u201cSmash\u201d theme or a \u201cJeremy Lin\u201d theme, but in the end, people liked the gangsta rap theme the best.\u201d\nWesterly Creek held its annual auction last Saturday night at Vinyl in downtown Denver. Decorations included sideways posters of famous gangsta rappers Eazy-E, NWA, Tupac, Ice T, Ice Cube, and Public Enemy to name a few. Fake bullet holes also decorated the walls along with cardboard cutouts of gansters flashing gang signs. The party came complete with an old school DJ, who played only the greatest rap songs including F*ck the Police, Boyz in the Hood, Straight Outta Compton, and Fight the Power. Patrons were served 40\u2019s for their beer, and gin and juice was also abundant at the party.\n\u201cThis was hands down the best auction we have been to,\u201d said event goer Brett Price. \u201cWe had a party like this back in college, and I have been waiting for another one ever since.\u201d Other patrons had similar feelings. \u201cOff the hizzzee,\u201d exclaimed Cindy Patterson. \u201cNew rap is so crappy compared to the old real rap. We had a blast.\u201d The party was successful financially as well. \u201cWe made about 60% more this year than last year,\u201d says Dettman whose auction rolled in roughly $180,000. \u201cWe are extremely pleased with the turnout.\u201d\nDettman has not yet begun considering themes for next year\u2019s party, but is already feeling the pressure. \u201cI don\u2019t know how we are going to top this years,\u201d says Dettman. \u201cWe will do our best, but can you really do better than a party that cranks up Nobody Move by Eazy-E?\u201d No you can\u2019t, Amy. No you can\u2019t.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
