Good times

This year with the perfect 70s' weather and the Maryland guests from Black Hills Park coming over, it was the busiest 13 bedar ever at Algonkian Park in Sterling, Virginia. A good time was had by all!

best 13bedar EVER
by DJ Beshkan (not verified) on Sun Apr 12, 2009 06:53 PM PDTThis 13bedar was the best!! 10,500 people came according to the Iranian newspaper. Good job to DJ Beshkan for putting this together. Same thing next year ;)

I think it is mostly the American part of our culture as Iranian-Americans and the general stereotypes of Iranian families about "good" girls and "loose" boys.
Anyway, they learn more later in their late 20s or 30s about Iranians being just as "regular" as themselves. I'm not sure there is anything we can do about it earlier.

The rest of the year they just ignore each other and stereotype as they gossip with their friends.
The rest of the year they think it is easier or somehow better to date a non-Iranian since they've already "figured them out" ;-)

No matter what park anyone was at- there was much false advertising saying black hills was closed- it wasn't just there was no DJ Beshkan.
So many pretty girls, oh my...
