ZOMGOZome WH/AT? WTF411THURS JUL 10 Asylum - SHORTS IIIII
no shorts no service!

Shorts come in many lengths. So do pants. When considering your choice of legwear, be smart. Remember, if you are wearing pants, you will be denied entry to Shorts. If the legwear extends beyond the knee, ask yourself: "Is this a long short? ...or is it a short pant?"

Acceptable varieties of shorts: UMBRO | KHAKI | OP | BOOTY | JEAN | RUNNING | PLEATED | MESH | SPANDEX | BOY | CARGO | GOLF | BERMUDA | BOARD | SHORT | BOXER | CUT-OFF | GYM | BIKER | JNCO www.asylumdc.com
