What the heck happened to HOUSE PARTIES?!? How come no one throws them anymore? Who do I know? Who don’t I know? Now listen, I don’t mind heading to my local watering hole, grabbing a fancy cocktail (vodka, anyone?), checking out the who’s who in the neighborhood, and ultimately hoping that my mixed drink, probably over priced, isn’t made with Bankers Club, Titos, or Crystal Palace. However, being invited to a house party is the ultimate thrill. Here’s why:
- You never know who is going to attend. Crush, Crush-es (for the hoe in you), old friends, arch nemesis-the mean, skinny girl who just got fat, potential new friends. All Good from this side of the screen!
- The Music is usually jamming! House parties are a great way of learning about what the hott new song is and what is playedddd out.
- Dancing can also happen. I mean look below, Kid N Play, got down on the dance floor. There were no bar stools in sight and elbow space was plentiful. What better way to show off your mating call by busting out the moves, from the butt, ya momma gave you?!
- Musicians love to talk about house parties. Whether it’s Meek Mill (as referenced in the title of this post) or Katy Perry (Last Friday Night), the fondest of memories come from house party shenanigans.
- Facebook pictures from house parties are always the best. The bigger, hyper the rager, the better the chances of nailing unflattering candids of your closest homies.
- Lastly, they are most always FREE.99! As a member of the 99%, going to a house party, saves money; money that one can spend on the fly outfit you could probably wear that night. Gucci, Prada, Trukfit, Joyce Leslie??!?
So for you out there that think that being hip and cool is going to your local dive bar, I give you no shade. But have some fun and mix it up a bit. Throw a house party and invite me!
