I thought I'd drop this bit of insight I gained from a party I helped to host Saturday night. It was a birthday party for a (now) 22 year old niece of a friend, and because of space issues, the party was here. Originally I was going to go out and play poker with the guys and avoid this 'younger' crowd as I don't have much in common with them, but once ppl started flowing in (some as much as an hour early) there was just to much to do so I stayed. As much as I hate to admit this, I really had a good time. I had my music playing as I was doing some preparations, and as they came I didn't hear one complaint...as a matter of fact, the station (Boneyard) never changed all night!! For the most part, it was all new to them. Everyone drank and had a really good time. It was a very mixed crowd as well...white, black and latino and with the birthday girl being gay, that added a whole new dimension to it. I must admit that it was a lively night full of fun and laughter...a very pleasant suprise. I am very happy to say that (after a day of recuperating) that there is a part of the younger crowd that does know how to have a good time and let loose without going overboard and losing it in the wee hours...much to my suprise!!...I was also happy to realize that at 42, I can still hang with the young pups!!!...lol...
