Housekeeping This Week in Party Crasher

Posted by Paul Constant on Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 5:02 PM

This week in Party Crasher, Jonah Spangenthal-Lee plans a going away party that begins like St. Elmo's Fire and ends like The Shining.

The last time my high school chums got together to throw a going-away party for one of the members of our former clique, someone got stuffed in an industrial dryer, there were strippers, and a short police chase occurred (true story!). When another member of our ever- shrinking group recently decided to pull up roots and move to Eastern Washington, we decided to throw another epic party.

I've already started the night off with the party's honoree: Each of us has polished off a six-pack in my living room, expecting to catch a cab or a bus to the party from my apartment near Northgate.

Then it starts snowing.

Many of us had Christmas parties canceled on us at the end of December. This Party Crasher explains why most level-headed adults didn't try to make the party happen despite the weather. I hope you'll read it.
