Parties: Search and Destroy

ones where people do really stupid immature shit & smash stuff are the only ones worth attending. the last good one i went to was the one where as soon as i walked in dan brady threw an egg at the ceiling & it exloded all over me, i knew that meant i was going to have a good time.

I like parties where there are no kegs. I live in a college neighborhood and a lot of my friends are college kids--so when they throw a party there's a keg and an hour later there's a huge crowd of khaki-shorted backwards-baseball-capped dipshits there. That's just unpleasant.

So no kegs. And I like parties where I can smoke giant stanky cigars.

yeah & the beer in kegs tastes like pee with dead flies in it.

i don't do parties

Music I like, free drugs, going on very late - lasting at the least until daylight.

The worst party I ever went to was one of my work ones last Christmas. Are those photocopying-yer-arse-and-fucking-in-the- stationery-cupboard a myth, or am I working in the wrong place?

Digressing slightly, I lived in a flat above a biker once, and he told me he was having a party one weekend (he did invite me). I imagined heavy metal through the night, but I think my music was drowning his out, and everyone had gone home before 11. Weird.

my apartment is waay too small to entertain anything involving rowdiness, drunken-ness or loudness.
so, i prefer (seemingly) sedate tea parties. i wanna serve little sandwiches and stuff with my new teaset.
but big drunken ones requiring a costume are fun too... i also like birthday parties.

LIFE STINKS I NEED A DRINK LIFE STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINKS.

I think maybe I've never been to a really good party.

hush natalie - you are still recovering from yr piss-soaked evening the night before last where you offered yr brazen self to half the tory party

I like ones where there's lots of activity going on but nobody minds if you want to just sit and ponder and chat quietly with someone or a few people in a corner. Full house parties are good for this, since there's always a quiet room or two.

There's a big ol' party planned at our house here this upcoming Saturday, running from 2 pm to whenever. A slew of DJs have signed up to use the decks, we've finally got a gardener in that's cleaned up both the back and front yard, new grass has grown in, the firepit in the backyard has been restored to its original purpose, the fountain is about to be fixed and a ping-pong table will soon be set up on the backyard patio. Combine that with (hopefully) Brian Macdonald's presence and the result will be a great way to start the summery months.

I like parties where I turn up drunk and get progressively drunker and have stupid irrelevant conversations with people I don't know and would never consider trying to impress

We sing. It's such fun! Oh, and the alkyhol. Mad old men are good.

There are two kinds of parties I like. One of them is, well, like Rubulad (legendary Brooklyn space that just had its final party last night, R.I.P.) on a good night: many many people having a very good time, silly costumes, occasional nudity, unexpected weirdness, music just loud enough that you can still talk over it if you're right next to the person you're talking to, lots of things to do in multiple rooms.

The other kind is the big calm happy party where everybody's sitting down and talking to each other and there's lots of really good food, and "mingling" consists of people occasionally getting up to sit down with people who aren't near them but complicated multi-person conversations go on for long periods of time, and then people keep going after the food is done and maybe go somewhere to play Dance Dance Revolution and then have bubble tea, and finally a couple of stragglers go record-shopping. My last couple of birthday parties have been like that.

oh my god i love parties! especially just plain MENTAL ones. no kegs. i think afterparties are the best, they work real good cos everyone is already drunk. also there needs to be at least one freak at every party. matt middleton used to be the resident freak at every party, who can replace him?
