An invitation to a house party presents an exhilarating dilemma. On one hand, you run the risk of entering what has been misdiagnosed as a house party but is actually a “gathering” which, like attempting to occupy a hostile Middle-Eastern country, can be uncommonly grueling and difficult to leave. Alternatively, there are those blessed nights when a perfect storm of people and substances gratefully consumes all in its path.

Beyond being an occasion to see Asian girls vomit offline, the house party is also a time honored way for cash strapped cats to keep the wolf from the door. The rent party’s that emerged in Harlem during the depression became a Petri-dish for the forthcoming “jazz age”, and a hotbed for social change. And well before that, an upstart profit named Jesus Christ would pack many a room with his ability to turn talcum powder into ketamine, which gained him an attentive audience that was willing to excuse his tendency to fly off the handle whenever someone knocked the decks, and for his constantly checking the bedrooms to make sure people weren’t fucking.

Like violence, innovation, and the inclination to laugh at the sight of someone else falling down, our party predilection remains a common link to our ancestors, forged by an inherent desire to witness the exquisite sight of girls dancing in the kitchen.
