I'm doing 37 things
Okay, so I didn’t actually throw it, but I helped set up, so I consider that good enough. What a blast! Just make sure that any underage idiots who show up don’t drunkenly blare, “Are you 21? Are you 21?” to everyone as the cops show up to lodge a noise complaint. SERIOUSLY. Shut. Up.
