Brown: Out

Gastarbaiter B. Droitcour prepared to shuffle off this Moscow coil with a birthday blowout at summer’s white-hot underground indie venue, Shashlychnnaya at Ekaterinsky Park. Reigning king of the Third World Hipsters (ahem, twipsters), he wowed the crowd with aggressive karaoke without browning out once. When it was all over, many vodkas had been shot, many brews attacked and much cutlery cast into the miasmatic Ekaterinsky Pond. Goodbye B., but we will not cry for you, because Moscow in tears does not believe.
