Two things to say:
No.1)
Mate, throwing a party to get in with a group? Argh! Sounds like a seriously bad idea. If you want to get in with another group do it by your strangth of character. Besides, you really shouldn't try to make people like you. EVER. Maybe you need to sit down and think this through. If you want social status, try upping your confidence and getting invited to some of
their parties.
Well, that's the way you're coming across. If you're just coming out of your social shell, so to speak, don't make it a party, just have a few of your new friends over and chill. Its safer, nothing gets trashed.
If you still wanna kick that **** have a lot of your actual friends over, and have 3 or 4 of them over on the side. I still strongly suggest you think this one through, you sound like you're going at this the wrong way.
No.2)
I'm having a pretty big party next week- my 17th. At my house. Kinda worried about it now, but I'm pretty big on planning ahead, so read what I've done and maybe it'll help.
Party Arrangements.
First, I've worked out go and no-go-fo' areas. I know people can be creative and curious, so I'm investing in a big sheet of wood to cover up the stairs at the landing, and chains and padlocks to close off the dining room, and rooms upstairs, if the bastards get past my big block of wood
Over cautious? No such ****ing thing.
That leaves the garden, living room, kitchen and hall for partying. That is all floorboards/ tiled, so I'm rolling all the rugs up and putting them in the dining room. I'm also putting all the little trinkets, the TV, butcher knives, pretty much everything that I can bar the sofas into the dining room, and locking that **** up.
The garden is cool, smokers and stoners can go out there and do whatever the hell they like. Putting out chairs and tables.
I called BYOB on everyone, but I'm supplying some, might get a Keg. Sounds like a plan. As for food, I'm thinking pizzas, cheap ones I can cook up fast.
I've invited about 60 and a bit people (argh! Since when did I know this many people well?!?!?!) and so I'm a bit concerned about police. Hell, if they come, they come. I might be ****ed for a few weeks while I scrape up fine money, and my parents will hate me, but life goes on
.
I'm also telling all my guys to act bouncers for me. The first rule of me throwing a party, is it's my house. If I don't know someone who comes, if I don't like someone that comes the **** will get kicked out of them. I'm going as far as putting my escrima stick in the landing, any ***** comes in and trys to start something, bambam! ***** goes down.
Still, that is my plan, can't see anyone I've invited doing something they're gonna regret, and yeah I pitty the fool that has an open at his place. My mate did it, a whole school of pikeys turned up and actually managed to steal his radiator. Think about that, his house actually flooded, and they ran off with something that was connected to his plumbing system. Moral of the story? Never concider anything as tied down.
