Nathaniel Gray, a 19-year-old from Salem, Ore., decided he was going to throw a party last week.
Public Announcement: Ain't nobody gonna shut us down. #fuckthepolice #theydontknowshit #quithittinmeuppeople
P.S. Salem cops have no jurisdiction at this location so they can suck my dick.
The party was going to be a big gathering somewhere outside, and he started passing the invite around using the hashtag #ProjectNat.
#ProjectNat ?
We good fam, but seriously everyone who has the address KEEP IT TO YOURSELF until day of.
Retweet if you are down for project nat to be all outdoors!
The whole thing quickly spread around his high school.

‼️IF YOU WERE PLANNING ON GOING TO #ProjectNat DELETE THE ADDRESS BECAUSE IT GOT RATTED OUT TO THE COPS. ITS GONNA BE RELOCATED‼️
If one more person asks me a question related to project nat I'm gonna choke someone out. Let me plan this fuckin shit fools!
Nathaniel's massive high school party started getting a lot of attention on Twitter...
1000 followers in 10 days and I better see you all there...
Including the attention of the Marion County Sheriff's department.
Looking for any information on a large party said to be occurring around 6:00 p.m. coined "Project Nat". If you have info call 503-588-5032
@beerisrad your actions could lead to your arrest. If you have questions about "Project Nat" please call the shift Sergeant @ 503-588-5032
Because this is 2014, of course the young Nathaniel decided to quickly tweet back at the police and clear up the confusion.
@MCSOInTheKnow b I have no information, it's just my birthday. Not my party.
I do not condone or permit underage drinking.
Since when did hype become illegal? Hmmm
Nathaniel ended up getting arrested, however, and was charged with giving alcohol to a minor and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.
Well. Ya win some, and ya lose some. Right?
The story didn't end there for Nathaniel, though. His party hashtag was described by local reporters as a "Project X-style" rager and they interviewed him about it.
According to the reporter, Nathaniel requested the ability to record himself during the interview. The reporter allowed this, seemingly because she's never met a Twitter troll in real life before.
Also, Nathaniel's friends are selling shirts with his mugshot on them.
If you want to buy #theproject shirts hit up my boys @Kteeezie and/or @zbilyeu with your size, only $20.
Nathaniel seems to be taking the whole thing in stride, though.
Before judging others, take a look at yourself.
Twitter drama is highly entertaining. #hatersassemble
And he's got some parting words for anyone out there who thinks his party was a big deal.
The fact that I am on any news sites, let alone major ones like @HuffPostWeird shows that the medias priorities are distorted beyond belief.
But it's okay, I guess I'll help take people's attention away from the more serious stuff going on in the world at the moment. #likeyouwant
