Flyerer Of The Week: Yalla

photo-11

It's a lovely, sunny Friday, and while everyone else is hungover wondering how long they can stay in bed before anyone notices, you're flying down Locust on your way to recitation. Each step you take  is another point you're adding to the class average. Each sip of your Starbucks is actually made of the tears of those a standard deviation below you on the curve. You are the shit. Suddenly a faint jingle in the distance snaps you out of it. What's that intoxicating sound pulling you in until you're helplessly clutching a little piece of paper? It's a bunch of girls in jingling skirts and have they got a show for you.

Who are you and what are you flyering for?

This is for Yalla presents The Hidden Treasure. We're performing tonight at 9pm and tomorrow at 6pm at the Iron Gate Theatre. It's our spring show and it's gonna be awesome... plenty of shimmying, plenty of drumming as you can see. And not that many shirts.

So like, you'll come for the shimmying and stay for the drumming. And the shirtlessness.

Wait, don't put that.

How did you guys end up flyering? Did you lose a bet or something?

Oh, we all do walk shifts. We share them!

How equitable. So how can I get a skirt that jingles like yours?

South Street?

Sweet. So what do you have to say to the people out here who are trying desperately to avoid eye contact with you?

We just try to attract them with our shimmying torsos. Like, we're shimmying and we see you.
