This Saturday, I'm having what is called an "open house". I'll be home alone the whole weekend. My parents are going to my sister's friend's wedding.

I really don't have to do anything as far as preparation. I'm supplying the house, everyone else brings the party materials. There's been a lot of talk around school about this. It may surpass New Year's 2005 as the best party of this school year.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Don't do it. You can never enjoy your own parties.

That may be true Turi, but I think it's too late to back out now.

Agreed. I love parties at other people's houses because you never have to worry about your stuff.

You going to have any alcohol there? If so, definetely do NOT have people at your house. Unless you have very forgiving parents and like cleaning vomit.

The Doc

What time should I be there?

Turi and Ferro are right, tho... you did see Risky Business, didn't you?

Excellent Freddie. By party materials, I am assuming that you mean pinata's, juice, goody bags, etc.

Just try to make sure the music isnt too loud. Thats how I got busted last time. The cops came and everything. Wasnt pretty.

I've had to run out of a few places with a bottle of Wild Turkey in my hand. :p Haha.

The Doc

Of course he's having alcohol there, probably playing that drinking version of ping pong too. The shit I've done at other households would mean I'd never trust more than 5 other people in my gaff at anyone time.

Ok instead of ruining his upcoming night here's some advice which I'm sure you'll already know but there's no harm in it being repeated:

Have fun, drink but try and be more sober than the guests, the last thing you need is passing out whilst everyone is headbutting the mirrors.

Hide the valuables and try to keep at least one room off limits - preferably your ma and pa's. Absolute no no in there - though some will try. Also try creating a lot of space with less obsticles for drunks - furniture to the walls, removing tables etc.

The bath is a good place to keep a lot of beer cold if you prepare well enough with plenty of ice and cold water. But you end up with people stealing it.

I know I'm a hypocrite and hardly one to say this but seriously keep drugs to a minimum. The last thing you need is a neighbour calling the cops, getting raided and then telling your olds drugs were involved.

Hmm, a party eh? Sounds good I'll be there. I've been meaning to throw one of those but I think I'll get drunk and forget it's my party and trash the place. To get even more random there's this teen nightclub in Sacramento thats pretty cool-coming from a 14 year old so it's probably lame to you party animals. Anyway, thanks for the tips Turi, they will come in quite useful.

Yea I could have used that advice last year when I had an open house. I had a shit load of beer waiting for everyone, so I started drinking at like noon. By the time everyone had arrived, I was completely trashed. Im not sure how the night went realy, but judging by the huge mess I had to clean up, it must have been one hell of a party.

Open house? Expect one hell of a clean up duty mang. :p

Good luck with the Clean Up

What a coincidence - party at Big Daddy's tonight also. Probably not as big as yours, anywhere from 25-35 of my 'peeps' heading over after a dinner affair. All adults and no kids this time - so should be fun. Since you are not really that far from me, I'll get them all liquored up and before things get of hand and to prevent damage control we'll all swing over to your open house. :p

As a 'Little Daddy' I been to plenty of those 'open house' parties - I would strongly suggest you take some of the advice the others have offered - things can get quite out of control very quickly.

Tonight is the night! I have some friends here already (and my gf). I don't plan on the majority of people getting here until about 10pm. My #1 rule tonight is if you drink even the smallest amount, you are not driving. Either you sleep it off or get a ride.

Now I'm hearing that this is a roman toga party. This was not my idea at all. I'm still debating if I'll wear one.

Right now I'm setting up my playlist on windows media player. Since my computer will be on all night, maybe I'll give some updates throughout the night...

Freddie--Law in PA is that anyone without a senior license can't drive between 11 PM and 5 AM. What if someone is heading to your party after 11 and gets pulled over and they say they're going to your house?

The law is you need to be 18 to drive after 11pm, nothing about a senior license. I still have my junior license. But if anyone were to say that to a cop, then I'd be screwed.

Hey Freddie, got any Wild Turkey at your party?

No party is complete without the refresing Turkey I love so much.

You have some right?

The Doc

I'm starting to get a little anxious. Right now my main concern is the # of cars that will be parked out front. How many cars before it looks suspicious? None of my neighbors are "cool".

Yes, I have some Wild Turkey, but that's off limits. It's my dad's and he'll definitely notice if some is missing.

I've got a little buzz right now. It's like I'm running a hotel here. Couples have already called here, requesting a bedroom. My house has 4 bedrooms. Three of the four are already taken. Me and my gf will be in my parent's room. I'm not sure how I feel about having sex in their bed.

Yo Freddie, same here man... Imma gonna be alone next month for one week, my mom and sis are goin to India while my bro and dad is in Brazil right now. So I planned to have a house party.. but is it really worthed? I think it should definately be damn annoying to clean up throw-ups the next morning and organize the stuff some drunken dudes may have broken.

Oh man, that's a shame. I got about half a bottle left in my room here. Best drink in the world. I gotta tell you, a room without a bottle of Wild Turkey in it is not a room at all. Take a sip for The Doctor and put a little bit of water in it to hide your deed. I know its 101 proof, but he wnt notice, the Turkey is powerful enough as it is. Enjoy your party buddy.

The Doc

Freddie that was waaaay too much info about your girlfriend and your parents bed! Have fun tonight and have fun cleaning in the morning! Maybe you should open all the windows now to air the place out.

Good idea with the windows, Kristen. Actually, I had a friend in a similar situation to yours, Freddie, who took down all the curtains in the house and just left the blinds up for the whole weekend, then put the (clean and odor-free) curtains back up about an hour before her parents came home. Sure it was a lot of work, but if the smell of our clothes was any indication, that was the smartest thing she's done in her life.

Have fun in the morning, Freddie... If your folks find out,(as our friend Paulie Gatto would say), sfortunato ...

This is fucking crazy!!!!

How's it going, Freddie? Still got the toga on, or did that disappear hours ago? Turkey bottle is empty now, isn't it?

Me and Geoff used to have wonderful loin-cloth parties.

Must be He seems to be "out". The lovely Turkey does have that effect.

The Doc

I went to a couple of shakers last night. Pretty crazy. House still standing Freddie?

What, they're not wonderful any more??
