Parties!
Uber Ritter:
I try and throw one extravagant and interestingly themed party a year; I started my Sophomore year with my Trafalgar Day party, thrown in honor of the 200th anniversary of Nelson's victory over the Franco-Spanish fleet. The booze was pub ale, grog (made with pusser's navy rum) and gin. The music was Gilbert and Sullivan. It was quite enjoyable, even though we got broken up at around 11:00 something. This is where I learned what it like to be puking drunk. I also learned that you have parties on the -third- floor common rooms of dorms, because security never goes up there, as opposed to the ground floor, where this one was.
Next year I did a Cognac and Snobbery party, in which there was much relatively classy (that is to say, the nicest stuff I could get for under $25 a bottle) brandy, nice clothes and enough ice, creme de cacao and cream for brandy Alexanders. Here I learned that everyone seems to love brandy alexanders, and that it is hard to get drunk when you are busy all night bartending.
This year I'm planning on a sequel to the Cognac and Snobbery party, but also throwing a goth dance party with my friends, which shall have (recently availible in the states) absinthe and a playlist that the music forum had some hand in helping me with.
Sometime I really want to do a party paying tribute to a rather hard-drinking, irracscible, decidedly low-brow student of our fine institution who graduated my sophomore year. The party would be dedicated to the individual in question and the Stooges, and would play music that was as loud and riotous as possible--the MC5, the Stooges, the Sonics, the Monks, The Rocket from the Tombs, etc.

One of my friends did this, and it was rad. She has pictures. And hot friends.

This is awesome.
I went to a solstice party on, well, the winter solstice. 'Cept it was really just the closest Friday to the solstice. It was fun! There was a hookah (tobacco, I will have you know), excellent beer (fuck yes, He'Brew Messiah Bold) and Mass Effect. It was pretty damn kickin'.

I went to a fairly small high school. There were 30 people graduating from my class, and about 120 people in the high school. That's a pretty decent-sized graduation party, isn't it?
One of the kids in my class lived on an island up by Plymouth MA. So we all drove there (it was about a 40min drive) and got in his motorboat and went over to his island. There were summer houses there but his family was the only one there year-round, so they had the whole island to themselves, and it was pretty big. some of us smoked in the marsh, there were people setting up tents in the woods, there were sweeping hills, we hung out on the jetties off of their rocky beach. This kid's family had a gigantic dog and two donkeys in its possession, and the donkeys would just follow people around all night.
It was a great party, also. Maybe that's because we had just graduated, and it's sort of a last huge hurrah, and with an incestuously small class size we were all pretty close. Great location though, and I think that's part of what made it stand out so much.
