Well this is the first 4th of July that I can say in a long time I didn’t have much fun. I had talked to Mac about going to the party and helping him keep it going etc. and I brought up the common factor in 99.9% of all parties I have gone to. Food.
Now Food is considered vitally important by most people and a lot of people really enjoy food. And I personally cannot think of a party without food. Take that back. A party is judged by it’s food. So upon discovering that there is no food I said well I’ll make dessert and then if we have enough money everyone can pitch in and we can grill burgers or something.
Upon arriving out in the middle of BFE’s incestuous love child with a parade of cars, dodging the washout in the road, and unloading a stupid amount of explosives I begin to have this uneasy feeling of what this party will entail.
Let me first begin with my idea of a basic 4th of July party.
- Food. You will either have munchies (like fresh veggies and/or chips) as well as a dessert table or you have actual dinner prepared like burgers and dogs with fries and roasted corn.
- Explosion Area. You have a dedicated spot where the explosions will take place. It makes cleanup easier and allows people to position themselves so that they can watch from the best angle.
- Beverages. You MUST have something other than a KEG. Hell you don’t even need a Keg. Unless like 60-80 people are showing up that all like the same beer you have no business buying a keg for the event. There are so many other good alcohols that you can buy and for gods sake at least have sprite and water available.
- Outdoor lighting is a Must. I am a Klutz. Anyone who reads my blogs knows I am a kluz. It is a standard thing for me to fall down while walking down the hallway, no obstructions, just to fall. Other people when drunk get my walking savvy and therefore should be able to SEE WHERE THEY WALK!!!!
- NO MINORS!!!! If you haven’t graduated High-school you have no business going to any party I am going to! I mean can we list the issues? If cops show up we are screwed. Someone always has to babysit the minors to make sure they don’t seduce or are seduced by someone at the party and again more cops arriving. I mean that’s just a no.
