Ping pong was invented in England a century and a half ago as a kind of fancy parlour game for dinner-glove-wearing aristocrats to play without having to worry about their monocles and/or wigs falling cockeyed (as we can only conjecture, not having been there ourselves). Berlin-style ping pong, on the other hand, throws caution to the wind and invites all paddled competitors to join in an ever-rotating game of table tennis, powered by very German techno and the momentum of a sweaty spiral of ponging. American Tripps (a local series of Berlin-style ping pong parties) teams up with Noise Pop for two nights of glory at the Noise Pop-Up Shop. If the table tennis isn't reason enough, there's also a full bar and bacon-wrapped chicken and waffle sandwiches courtesy of Soul Groove. This is a party you won't forget — even if you can't remember it.
