Nothin' to see here

I threw a house party for 300 people a couple of years ago, it was awesome.

No damage to the house or the garden either, just bottles everywhere, took me three or four hours to clean up, but was totally worth it.

p.s I live in the suburbs, not on a farm, if any smart arse was going to try and say that. My place is pretty big, so 300 wasn't too crowded.

Originally posted by Aristronica LOL, who throws "parties" anyway. Where I come from... and I'm not even sure where that is anymore... we have "get-togethers", no more than 20 friends, or friends of friends, just chilling and hanging out. Conversation, wine, and light drug use a must. Of course some mild entertainment like lounge-house (I prefer OM records and anything they have to offer for this type of situation). If we're going to actually "party...!" we hit up a club and get wrecked. Yes it's a bit more pricy but the headache you save from not having to clean up/be robbed/toss random people out of your house is worth it.

it's a whole catch-22 when you're a DJ. all of my friends i threw parties with spun as well, so we both wanted an exclusive and nice party to have fun at, but a big enough crowd to dance and make noise when we were spinning on point. you can never really get a "party" going with just 20 people.

problem is, the place to be was always my house. i have the only party-viable place. after i said a big FUCK YOU to throwing any more parties, just no more get thrown. some people still call me up and beg me to throw another one "for old times sake" (i did a couple of crazy ass parties), but fuck that, i'm not putting myself out for other people any more. i've had way too much of that already.

i threw a huge bash this weekend for me and 70 of my best mates. rented out a campground, rented a pickup truck (mainly to do doughnuts in the field) bought 4 kegs, 100L of hard liquor (one of my friends went to the hospital friday night with rediculous alcohol poisoning (he is retarded) he managed to drink almost 3/4 of a texas mickey of jack daniels by himself, had a BAC of 0.86 (thats0.07 off of the record according to the Surete du quebec (quebec provincial police)) ambulance came to pick him up, he woke up the next mornign removed his own catheter, almost got in a fist fight with doctors who didnt want him to leave, and took a 60$ cab ride back up to the campground to start drinking again.... i pointed out that he had still not removed the heart monitor stickers at 6 oclock that ;night.... he hadnt noticed them yet.)

what else happened. I was spinning drum n bass / breaks for a while in the afternoon on saturday then my buddy came up with this great idea that i had to eat a pickled egg and do a shot of jagger between mixes..... i got pretty fucked up..... then dared my buddy to do a shot of the pickeld egg juice.... he did it..... and from what he tells me it wasnt delicious at all.,....


i dont remember much from sat night.... but from what i have been told i had a great time. best part about it. we made a huge mess, and i didnt care becaue it wasnt at my house. we did our best to pick up the trash in themorning and cover the tire ruts caused by the ambulance and my truck donughts.... then i drove back to ottawa, dropped off the empty kegs, and returned the retal truck with no less than a half inch of mud coating on all surfaces....

all in all

awesome weekend that cost me a net of 34 dollars!

Another point - I guess it comes with age. In college we used to throw massive parties with kegs/etc. Being out of school and having "nice" IKEA crap around instead of the "grandma hand-me down" furniture, also living in a pleasant neighborhood, not a college apartment complex where everyone's my age - really changes things.

Certainly a bit over a year ago a huge party at "Club Russia", as my apartment was known, was not a problem. In fact it'd be surprising to NOT have 50 or more people being loud and getting wasted. BUT!!!!!!! - we had to go through 3 different couches (tagged by pissers), had to build another bar (1st one got destroyed by combination of girls dancing on top & fights), carpet had to be completely re-done summer after junior year, 3 windows had to be replaced, daily beer-can/cigarette butts collections, bathroom a mess (thongs and condoms all over the place besides the piss/etc. on floor)... fuck I could go on forever.

I mean yeah it was a blast, but that's not for me anymore.

OHH OHH - Let's not mention the numerous times beer/liquids/drunk chicks collided with my equipment. I had to replace one of my CDJ-1000's, twice for my laptop keyboard, junior year my laptop got stolen (thankfully I was going to replace it anyway, the thing was 2 years old and it gave me an excuse to beg for one from my parents).

"Party on dudes!"

Originally posted by LoveHate why in the world would you want to throw a party at your establishment? The thing I have noticed is people that throw parties ironically never have any fun at their own party, because they have to look after everything, keep shyt in order and whatnot. Do you think a bunch of drunks will treat your homebase with any respect? When its all said and done - if it was a good party - you'll be the one babysitting the idiots who can't hold their liquor, scraping gum off your floors, housing down the vomit on your driveway, and flushing the condoms left on your bed down the toilet. People who hold parties = SUCKERS i mean i love going to parties i just will never throw one at my own house

LOL, who throws "parties" anyway. Where I come from... and I'm not even sure where that is anymore... we have "get-togethers", no more than 20 friends,

at school i used to throw regular parties at this house where a group of friends lived. we'd easily get 200 people in the (tiny) house with copious amounts of alcohol and it'd be spilling out into the street about midnight. i think every time we threw a party some sort of police action came against the people who lived there

i was always deejaying and promoting and lived elsewhere so i would just chill out while mass amounts of people left the house with the police lights outside and then start an afterhours set afterwards with no consequences for myself

we attempted to do it outside twice. the first time we had a full rack of dance lights and huge outdoor speakers i had rented for another gig. i started banging out some summery jungly bits abotu dusk and within 2 hours, 3 of my friends were down at the police station and another 2 were bailing them out the second time we planned a massive and chaotic block party as an alternative to a mainstream university-sponsored event that same day. we were expecting about 500 to show up, half already drunk, as we had done a massive ad campaign (see first flyer below). the university caught wind and soon we were confronted with threats to our "academic careers" and we had police monitoring the house all weekend. the landlord was also notified and subsequently threatened the tenants. all this happened supposedly because we had planned to charge for cups without a liquor license, but the real reason was that the university didn't want to compete with something over which it had no control.







COR version: i've thrown a lot of crazy house parties and would easily do it again

I used to be the party house when I was younger. Anyone who has seen my old house knows why. I love throwing parties, we're not suckers. If you have a party with non-douchebags ( though with all parties there is 1 or 2), you have people who won't be so mesyy and will respect the invirontment they are in. With 4 years of hardcore partying in that house the only time anything got broken was when I fell over a coffee table and broke a lamp, and I puked in my on driveway/side of the lawn. I have good friends, they don't MUCK UP MY SHIT.

truth - i consider the point where you start looking around and all these random ass people you've never seen before are drinking your booze and laughing hysterically with people you do know the point where you have a 'party'
