Last Friday was a pretty crazy party! We had just over 125 people and probably more that didn't even come inside. Crazy people! We were done by about 3:15AM, which seemed unusual, but it could be due to our first neighborly complaint.
I'm not sure why, but there are some idiots out there that think $5 is too much to pay to get into a party provided by someone else. We spend over $400 to throw these parties and are constantly upgrading our lights, the space available, and even trying to throw contests for everyone. We were unable to throw a contest at this last party since I had to deal with the complaint.
The complaint was that there were a lot of people outside making too much noise too late at night. I find this very stupid, but understandable. People have to realize that it's the weekend and people are going to have parties every now and then. We only do ours every 4-6 weeks so it's not a regular weekend event. Of course, revellers do need to realize that there are people sleeping in houses nearby and they need to keep the noise down. We always have a good bunch, but they did get carried away outside last Friday.
Two patrol cars showed up and I went out to talk to them. They said to keep in inside and keep the noise down. Pretty basic stuff and they were polite about it. It wasn't a big deal since I went in and handled it, but it could have been a huge fine if they returned. We can't afford that.
We still did Perkins afterwards, but it was just me and my two roommates. It was fun to hang out and visit. There was one reveller that Derek has a crush on back at the house sleeping in Pete's bed. She'd had a bit much and Pete looked after her. We hatched a plan to have Derek crawl in the bed next to her so she'd wonder in the morning. Good plan and we had some laughs. (They were clothed, so keep your mind free of gutter thoughts.) She even came out of the room putting her belt on so we had to exagerate that, of course. I even took a couple of pictures I hope to have online soon. Derek was proud of that prank.
We may wait 6 weeks until the next one. We actually went through all 4 kegs and part of another that was still there, so we have some cleanup to get done and deposits to get back. Good times!
