What Might Have Happened Last Night

I might have attended a Halloween party with my roommate and her boyfriend. There were possibly two DJs there. My roommate might have requested “Monster Mash” and the DJs might have continued playing terrible dance music. My roommate might have continued requesting “Monster Mash” for two hours straight, until one of the DJs cut the music and ran up to us and screamed in our faces about “trivializing his art.” The DJ was wearing a fedora. We might have then loudly argued about whether DJing could even be considered an artform. He told us that we were the worst people in the club. We told him that we weren’t in a club, but in an apartment. A crowd might have gathered around us, probably on our side. Then the host might have sternly asked us to leave the party.
