my friends throwing a party soon- i cant fuckin waithis parents are out of the house for 3 days, we're gonna have a shitload of booze and all my favorite people are coming...lots of people i dont like too but who cares. anyway i always like the varied responses you get from threads on this forum, so i need some ideas- basically im helping to organize this party, i want to make it really cool- if you've ever seen 'skins' (an amazing UK show, watch it on youtube now) think like that. Im thinking of stocking up on spray cream and bubble wands and stuff like that, and i also wanna come up with a good list of songs to put on a cd- can anyone think of any good party songs? thanks a lot-ak

Awesome party

Iv never been to a good party that didnt end with police, unless we were out of town, in the mountains, near a lake that leads to naked people and skinny dipping. a house always gets trashed, shit stolen, shit broken, cops, its nto worth it. Its why I now have a few friends over but never throw partys anymore.
We are however planning a big bash in July, in the mountains and have some porta generators, and 2 bands that agreed to play for free, I know a lovely spot about 20 miloes from town, large, flat, barren of trees, lots of sand, motorcycles, 4 wheelers.Ill give you a tip that made our parties go alot better though.
We hired bouncers that staeyed sober, charged 2 bucks a head, plus BYOB, al money was given to the bouncers at the end of the night, a simple stamp in black ink and a black light to expose it. before that I watched one girl goto the hospital for stitches after being beaten in teh head with her own shoe, a few people go out windows that were nto open, a kid get tossed off a seconf floor deck for running his mouth and then pissed on while he laid there with 30 people standing on teh deck above him (Ok I tossed his ass and pissed on him but he was agravating me to no end and was warned several times, spitting on me was the last fucking straw, people shooting up and using illegal drugs that would of ended badly for the house owner if shit went sour and cops showed up. Bouncers made a real difference, big ugly fucking bald SOBER bouncers. some people still got hurt, but ti was short and both parties were ejected for it and the night went on with out them.
The same people will be bouncing the party in the dunes this summer for us. Generally at one of these 3 to 400 people end up being there, just one mroe reason to do it outside and not have anyones house torn to shit. -
Have you seen the state of those houses after parties in Skins? If you want one of those parties then you'll need lots of drink, possibly drugs and then a lot of time to clean/fix/glue the house back together.Any valuable items need to be hidden, maybe even brought to another house for safe keeping. Ornaments, picture frames and maybe even knives, they should be hidden away too.Assign a smoking area, preferably outside. Make it warm and comfortable, don't let it become an anti-social area. This isn't just to stop the house smelling of smoke, drunk people smoking in crowded, indoors areas is just asking for a fire.Now probably the biggest problem you'll have is noise, cause that will attract the negative attention of neighbours. You can get away with almost anything in a house as long as you keep it quiet, but if you get the attention of neighbours then you may end up having the police being called. And in a house full of underage drinking and smoking, maybe sex and drugs, that just isn't a good thing to happen. It may be smart to tell the neighbours that you're having a small party and that you'll try to keep the noise down and all. You'll be able to get away with a lot more this way because they will not be as likely to call the cops or complain since you did consult them and ask permission, even if you are going back on your word a bit.

(sorry i have a habit of posting after only one reply which is a tad annoying i know)

Tell them or not, what makes you think they wont rat ya out when mom and dad get home? tell them and they are gonna tell, dont tell them and disrupt thier peace and they are going to tell.
Course that depends on how good of friends they are, and how big of enemies.
Parking is always a problem, the more people the bigger problem. -
Well, ill ask my friend if he wants to tell them or not, and leave it up to him. Ive had to deal with complaining neighbours with whiskey all over my face and nothing but a pillow case for clothing and i still managed to avoid getting the police called. And theres about 50 people coming, most of us 15, 16, 17, very few driving i should think.
-
Oh, that is even better. Few cars, more kids crammed in one. Hope there are no accidents, and if so, I hope the driver dies too, cause it would be a hell of a thing to live with knowing you killed ten people in one foul swoop!Best of luck to ya. It all sounds pretty dumb to me!

Believe me, we have all been there. Unfortunately, I wonder how wise it is to be adults, giving advise to a teen regarding this.Anything illegal (underage drinking, weed, other drugs) has a huge possibility of coming back to haunt you. Police, true they are one worry. The biggest I think is the people who may come to your party, get drunk, then drive, killing themselves or others. Your friend could get his parents sued easily...I saw it used in a movie, keymaster, take everyone's keys as they arrive at the party, (keymaster is sober of course). At the end of the night, they don't get their keys unless the keymaster thinks they are sober as well. Make them sleep on the floor, or walk home, or take a cab, or call someone who is sober... Just don't let them drive.K

That is a yearly 3 day party and drinking event. the charge for the bouncers is 2 bucks per head per day on that one. The bands play when they watn and what ever they want. somepeople bring trailers some tents and some campers, everyone brings thier own booze or uhhhh party supplies.Its an open party, noones turned away and we advertise it in a utah chat room about a month before we have it. Noone makes any money aside from the bouncers, but it always been a good time.if you plan on being in Utah, and once we have dates locked down, Ill send ya an invite
-
July eh?
We used to do something like that, not the open invite but we invited everyone we knew. Just had the thing at my place, four acres was enough for the tents, RV's and all that. Always had the pool ready, and the horse shoe pits, got a live band and just had a blast. The smallest it ever was, was somewhere around 40 people.
We always had a couple sober people around for the kids, and just in case I split my head open or sumpn..lol
-
well we know we cant do it the 4th, too crowded and its my sons birthday, the 24th is a state holiday, trying to peg it down for one of the other weekends. and NO KIDS, adults only drunken stoned nakedness and stuff.normally we can get 3 or 4 bands to agree to play, so far we got 2, maybe that means we can have 6 or 7 by the time its time to get fuckerood
-
Why would you want to bring kids to a thing like that!! IKES! It was one thing to do it in the "neighborhood" with supervision...Reggae on the River has killed a few kids in its time..pretty sad.
-
Noone has ever been killed at one of our parties, but uhhhh there have been several people taken to a hospital, fights, broken bones from wrecks on the bikes, Iv dealt with the sheriffs more than once over it. They generally wander in bullshit a bit, look around and leave. The other rule is noone under 21 or the bouncers escort them off and away.The bands are always local people, one that makes a apperance pretty much everytime i ask is some buddies of mine. I was just reading a email from a buddy that thinks we should move it to august and up in the mountains above kamas. Every year thers a biker rally up there down a road thats blocked off by some big ass bikers who let noone pass, it may be a better idea that way, limit who can get there by age.Also limits anyone from making a reapperanace after they get tossed the fuck out. Iv got a few buddys into the motor cycle gang shit, maybe I shuold have them run security.
