Off Duty Detail- Persian New Year

Wow. Working an off duty Detail for The Persian New Year.

Very impressed. So far, incredibly friendly and social. They are teaching me a lot about something, as an American, I had no clue about.

Different type of music and it's not the typical "American Party." Very cool to see this type of culture and friendliness.

Don't tell my boss but I've already been pulled onto the floor by lovely women to try to make me dance with them ha ha ha.

Happy Persian new year to those of you who celebrate. Lol.

I've met my fair share of Persians socially here in the SF Bay Area. They aren't shy about celebrating/partying, to say the least!

Those are the best kind of OT gigs. Food, a little fun and a nice paycheck.

I like Persian food, but have to go with a Persian, they know what to order that's not on the menu.

They do like to party too. I know Persian wedding receptions start around midnight.
