Normally, I'm not a big fan of house parties. My practical side tells me I should prefer them, inexpensive drinks, people I probably like, comfortable places to sit. But the fact is, I like the bar. A bunch of people standing around trying to get alcohol in their system fast enough for someone to make a spectical out of themselves so everyone will have something to talk about, so not my scene.
From time to time, though, a house will surprise me. Last weekend I went to a friend's house, comfortable, well-designed, good food, good beer (the Champagne of Beers even) and good conversation. It may be time to rediscover the house party, give it a second chance.
Special thanks to Kyle and Patsy for hosting!
