Title: Help me plan a party
Post by: jaffers on Thu, 31 March 2016, 02:04:38
So, long story short. I invited 14 people and told them to bring their friends. That number has increased to 42 if you include the people I live with.

Obviously it needs to be good and I have a bit of a reputation as a good party thrower. But I have never thrown a party with more than 10 people.

I need good music suggestions, and ideas of what to get. In return I will post photos etc..

Stuff to get:
-red cups
-????????

Also, how do I party proof a house for this many people

Yeah actually I would go to the effort of hiding your valuable ****. Even semi-valuable ****. Also **** shaped objects should be stowed correctly.

Have you informed your neighbours? It can help sometimes if they are not ****s they can be more tolerant of late night music blazing. Also some states have a thing on the police website to register parties, it is up to you to make a judgement call on that one, whether they have it in your state and if you think it will work in your favour.

An Aussie that's never thrown a big party before? What is this?! :p

also jaffers, lock your room. you dont want people stealing your **** or ****ing on your bed.
Basically this. Just put all your **** in your room and lock it. Don't open it either. Last time I threw a big party one guy in our house opened his room for a little while and guess what, someone stole something from him and two of his friends ended up ****ing on the bed. For hours. Great party for the rest of us though xD .

we had a new years party at my friends house, we invited 40 something people. 100 came. Total disaster, puke everywhere. These things never end well.

and usually when your having fun, the police shows up and destroys everything.

My suggestion, lock all doors. put plastic on all the furniture.

Question for audio people.

I want to fill the house with music but I don't want it to travel far and annoy the neighbours, if I get more speakers, I should be able to lower the volume but achieve the atmosphere that I am after correct?

Hahahah..

yea, definitely LOCK your room..

I ran a fake fraternity during college..

Basically, one of the other house mates, didn't lock his room this one time, and this one other guy pulled some virgin girls up to the room, and ah..  Yea...  at least he got new bed sheets out of it..  but... I would've bought new mattresses if something like that happened.
Title: Re: Help me plan a party
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 31 March 2016, 03:56:48
Also, you need LOTS of red cups..

and make sure for the night YOU don't use other people's red cups.. Maybe get yourself a different color cup..

Because College people are disgusting, and especially the females.. they're always sick, but they'll never miss a party.. so they end up getting other people sick..

Whereas guys would stay home..

Post by: widdlekitty on Thu, 31 March 2016, 11:13:34
Its good to have cups, napkins, ice, and paper towels on hand. There will be spills, so just be prepared for them. DON'T GET A KEG, unless you're prepared to do a lot of clean up afterward. If youre supplying alcohol, I suggest cans as they dont empty that quickly if dropped, and they wont shatter like glass bottles.

Have a place to dispose of cigarettes outside (assuming you dont want people smoking inside). Have garbage cans available everywhere people will be, otherwise they'll collect on every surface.

Have a dedicated place for people to put their booze, if byob. Snacks are nice to have; we would usually fire off some frozen pizzas later into the night.

Cops showing up is always possible. As long as everybody is of age, there should be no trouble. Mostly likely will tell you to keep it down.

Don't let people drive home from your party drunk.

Because in Australia it's illegal to question the validity of the existence of cork hats.

Just don't jam a bunch of speakers into one amplifier, or you'll probably do some damage.  If you want to split the output from your music device to multiple amplifiers, that should work without many problems.  But if you're a college kid running a $10 amp you got from Goodwill that you don't care a ton about, be my guest.  :D

Solo Cups. Lots of solo cups.
Tables for various drinking games
Ping pong balls
A cheap keg if you can swing it
Music
Places for people to sit around and just chill
Shotglasses
Jello shots with cheap ass liquor if you're feeling fancy
Paper towels
Ash trays
Garbage bags

----

Lock any door you don't want people to open
Make bathrooms easily accessible
Put away breakable things or things you don't want people to steal
If you have any rugs, roll them up and put them away
If you play beer pong or any drinking game like that, put the tables anywhere put carpet or anywhere easily soiled. Hardwood or the kitchen for easy clean up

That's all I can think of right now. Good luck! We threw a lot of parties too when I was in college!

Let's talk about jello shots..

OK..  now.. some people make the mistakes of making strong jello shots..

Their mindset is,  hey, if I make them strong, the females will eat them and get drunk fast..

Well, NO, because if they're strong, they taste awful, and the females won't eat them..



You also DO NOT want Jello..  You want to get Agar powder..   Agar is much more tasteless, whereas Jello actually has a sourish meat aroma as it is made from Pig-Skin..

Agar is usually synthetic or pulled from things like seaweed.. Tasteless...

Agar powder with some flavoring..

Make the percentage of alcohol VERY weak..  Make up for that by making several hundred units..

Buy the little plastic cover dip cups on ebay, you can get them in bulk... the stuff restaurants use..



Disclaimer:

TP4 does not sanction the use of alcohol to rapidly reduce the inhibition of college females.. Shame on you

I have seen one midget that goes to my university so I guess if I see him over the next week I could invite him along.

Regarding nose candy, I once sold some person in high school ground up salt and he snorted it lol, but I think alcohol is enough tbh, I don't want project X on my hands

Also, you need LOTS of red cups..

Its good to have cups,

Red cups are definitely on the list
