Adam Pally and Jon Gabrus Eat Some. Drink Some. See Some Sh*t. Recover: 101 Places to Party Before You Die's Adam Pally and Jon Gabrus have a really fun idea for a Vulture Festival event, but we're not allowed to promote certain partying-related activities — so for now we're going to be coy about it. It's nothing too crazy, but we promise it will be really fun. As the title suggests, it will involve eating some delicious bites, drinking some potent drinks, taking in some “theater,” and getting massages or mani-pedis onstage.
