Do You Throw Parties?

I'm not talking about those friendly little Saturday afternoon get-togethers where there's barbecuing in the backyard, and kids running running around. I mean big ass (put the breakables up) parties at night....with over 100 guests, loud music and liquor.

Nope, besides my neighbors would have the police there in 4.5 seconds if I threw a party like that.

nope. I did once, for my husband's 30th birthday. It was crazy and nerve wracking, but man was he surprised!

Not at my house I haven't, but for my twenty-ninth birthday, a friend and I rented a large catering hall and threw a huge, loud, dress-to-impress, drink-up celebration there. It was better to have those 300+ people (half of whom I didn't know) there, as opposed to at my house, where something would have been broken and–like Tony said–the police would have been eventually called by uninvited neighbors.

When we had Josh's party, I spoke with all the neighbors before hand. Luckily they were all very understanding,because we are good neighbors and they new it was a special occasion.

We had a big party for our 10th wedding anniversary too, but my parents let us have it at THEIR house so that was better.

Nope, don't throw them, don't go to them. We're a very boring bunch of people around here.

We're going to throw a huge party for you Supernova! There will be alcohol, and you will be there.

I've got some duct tape we can use to transport her, Chris . We've never hosted a large party just for the sake of having a party. It's always been for a special birthday, graduation, etc. We'd rent a VFW hall or something for those.

I have been to plenty of house parties, but I can't see throwing one myself. First of all, I live in an apartment, and that would be enough to get me evicted. Second of all, I can't imagine playing host to a large and randy group of ass-shakers and crowd-seekers would be all that enjoyable. I would be too worried about people breaking something, and keeping them out of certain rooms.

I haven't in a loooong time. When I would though, I would go in with somebody to rent a spot. "Niggas ain't breaking up my mama's good shit."

I got the rope right here.

I threw one when my divorce was finalized. Seriously.

Heh.

Big house parties kind of creep me out. The way everyone is packed in and acting all crazy. Although, to be fair, I've only been to one, and I was high on mushrooms so maybe I was just freaking out. The cops came inside, I was 17, with a beer and a bong sitting right at my feet. I wanted to leave so badly, but my boyfriend said if we did they would just pull us over for drinking and driving. Apparently someone at the party had a gun and was threatening the neighbors and they broke their fence and that's why the cops came.

I just remember it being really scary and I never have been to another party like that since.

But I thot the legal age to drink in this country was 21.

Nope. First of all, very few of our friends drink. Secondly, getting wasted, being rowdy, and listening to loud music isn't our idea of a good time. We like discussion, debate, good food, desserts. The hubby and I will drink, but we don't get drunk at parties. Our parties are family affairs; kids are always around.

I have never thrown a party for an amount in the area of 100 guests. I think my biggest was about 50-60. I go to quite a few. They are pretty fun, I think because there are so many different people to talk to.

I know...I guess I look older than I thought Of course the pot wasn't legal for anyone so maybe the cop just decided to choose his battles that night.
