In recent years, we have tried to include a little local Ann Arbor interest, with rooms based on the Ann Arbor Street Fair, or the deer cull. The Ann Arbor Summer Festival used to be called Top of he Park, so Jurassic Top of the Park made perfect sense for our live entertainment venue.
There were posters for the bands that had headlined the nights leading up to Fortress Party, including Steg Party, Nervous Rex, Prius-Storic, The Def Goldblums, Hot Mesozoic, Emily Bronto, Ivan the Ptero-ble, and Godzilla Ice.
The bands that played that night included Napoleon Dino-Mite, The TrieraPops, The Lounge Lizard, Jurassic Park and Bark, LGBT-Rex, The Veloci-Rapper, Jurassic Times Call for Jurassic Measures, The Reptilianaires, and the Paleontolerables.
Some random dinosaur themed quips were taped up around the room:
"Your mom is so stupid she bought meteor insurance."
"Fossil fuels: you're welcome."
"Sometimes when someone says something mean to mer, I fell like I'm only 20 feet tall."
Most of the performers wore a brown or black inflatable T-Rex costume. It turns out it's not easy to play guitar or piano with tiny arms, but a ukulele is perfect.
We had a tap-dancing T-rex.
The view from the stage. It was crowded, but most of them seem fairly non-plussed.
