Napperfest ’08
IQ Beats composer extraordinaire Patrick Napper just celebrated a benchmark birthday on the landmark day of 8.08.08. Orchestrated by the event planning prowess of Patrick’s wife Rebbecca Luke of Les Egoistes and fully supported by Patrick’s IQ teammates, the party was a MASSIVE hit.
Held at the expansive Voda Studios in west Lake Union, the stage was set for good times, yummy food, pretty girls, an endless stream of cocktails, DJ Woogie spinning good-time grooves and an instrument back-line for live representations of Patrick’s various musical projects over the past 15 or so years.
After back-to-back visits from European clients engaged in massive customs, Patrick and Rebecca (as well as the rest of the IQ team) were definitely ready blow off some steam and there was no better vehicle than ushering in a new decade of age for our man. Happy birthday dude and here’s to rocking life better and better day by day!

Napperfest ’08 even had it’s own custom shot glass… Necessary for all of the free-flowing tequila!
Behold… The Nappertini!

The IQ Crew (Steve Scalfati, Michael Berlin and Kip Beelman) represented with custom made shirts playing off the theme of Patrick’s party. Take a guess at Pnap’s age!
There was no shortage of fun and hot girls tearing up the dance floor!
Patrick’s wife Rebbecca sets up a great evening with a heartfelt toast for the man of the hour.
Somehow the birthday boy managed to blow out all of his candles in one fell swoop.
Was it mentioned that DJ Woogie was spinning the seriously fat and fun tracks?
And of course no landmark birthday would be complete without a burlesque performance by Miss Indigo Blue.
Between the many Patrick bands and cuts being spun by DJ Woogie during the evening, the girls were getting their back-arching groove on!
By this time in the evening, it’s only fair that the birthday boy is getting his groove on.
And the surprise of the evening was a sweet improv performance from IQ’s very own Steve Scalfati. Steve took the the jam to some deeper and darker depths while Patrick jammed along on trumpet. HOT!!
