![]() However, at least eight people sustained injuries at the scene. On Twitter, there were even reports of journalists getting assaulted by the crowds, though this report was never corroborated by evidence. The event was streamed live from the town of Haren, where it took a violent turn as rioters began moving the party to the center of town, vandalizing and looting stores, overturning cars, damaging street signs and starting fires. When an estimate of 3,000 to 5,000 people arrived in Haren, Merthe Weusthuis and her family reportedly went into hiding for safety reasons. On the morning of the event, Haren officials removed street signs, closed off roads and banned alcohol at the local train station in preparation for the possible influx of thousands of people. The day before the planned party, the first reports of the event began appearing on English-language news sites, including CNN iReport and international news agency AFP. Notable Developments September 21st: The Party The event was given the nickname "Project X Haren" after the 2012 comedy film Project X, which depicts a group of three friends' attempt at becoming cool by throwing a party that quickly spirals out of control. The same day, a Facebook group for the party was created after police from the city of Haren wrote on the wall of the Facebook event requesting that people not attend the party. On September 19th, a "teaser trailer" for the party was uploaded via YouTube, gaining more than 36,000 views in five days. The rumors of the party also spread via the Twitter hashtag #Merthe, with a flyer initially shared on lifestyle blog Melf. In the span of a week, the Facebook page accrued at least 30,000 RSVPs an the Twitter hashtag was used nearly 41,000 times. The original creation date of Weusthuis' Facebook event page remains unknown, however, the Twitter hashtag #ProjectXHaren began appearing online as early as September 16th, 2012. I'm looking forward to bringing the wife out for some Range Rattlers and a big, juicy steak (I know this woman, she's gonna love it!).It all began when the Dutch teenager Merthe Weusthuis accidentally sent out a Facebook invitation for her birthday party to open public instead of family and friends only. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect for a birthday lunch. ![]() Although not usually a steak eater(where did this chick come from?), she said it was delicious and finished most of it (no, really, who is this girl?) at lunch. ![]() My date (daughter's birthday!) ordered the NY Strip, medium rare, and it came out perfectly cooked and juicy. The lettuce was deliciously crisp and the bleu cheese was some of the best I've had. I'd definitely order this one again! The Wedge salad is really good, although the sweet dressing was a surprise, albeit a pleasant one. ![]() I love the roasted poblanos they really kicked the dish up a notch. Calories notwithstanding, these were deeeee-licious! The Chicken was really good, as well. Ok, so it's not exactly a healthy choice, the Sprouts were sliced thin and sauteed with a round of other veggies and bacon. How could you go wrong? We even had some non-pepper eaters at the table smacking their lips and licking their fingers! Trying to stay on the healthy side of the menu, I had the Chicken Laredo with the Brussels Sprouts on the side. Shrimp and cheese, wrapped in jalapeno, then battered and fried. This was my first time visiting the Salt Grass here in Metairie, but since I had been to a couple of the other locations, I knew I wanted some Range Rattlers. ![]()
