There are so many issues with throwing an apartment party: you’ve got neighbors to appease, the problem of buzzing people up, and it getting, what one of my friends calls it, “retardedly crowded”. But when it’s done right, apartment parties can be solid gold. Last week’s Crunk at the Country Club Party scored a two thumbs up from yours truly. Read on:

Booze: Anyone throwing a party, take note: if you want to score brownie points from your guests, remember that more is more (and that diverse beverage options equals amazing). There was more Smirnoff, tequila (with limes and salt, how gracious!), kegs, jungle juice and champagne than I could handle.

Music: A little quiet, not quite an 11 on the sound systems like I usually like it.

Costumes: Sweaters, popped collars, pears, and topsiders. Basically, that Smirnoff Raw Tea video.

Highlights: The hostess falling on her ass (repeatedly), the bowl of grapes I found in a bedroom, the two bros who decided to keep the party going after the fire alarm was pulled and remained dancing by themselves until the firefighters came.

Low points: The fire alarm (baaaalls).

Ms.RedCup rating: 2/5 (wonderful execution, too bad it ended way before it should have)
