Has anyone in here ever thrown a record party? I want to do that one day. I thought it would be so cool if I had the money. I could rent a suite at a hotel or even have it outside somewhere. I could bring all my favorite records and I'd invite people to bring theirs. We could split the cost on the food and drinks but I'd play for the place and supply the record player. (I have a cd and tape player built in to the record player.) I would spread blankets and maybe throw it poolside. (The record player would be in a place that was faw from the pool.) What would be some of your ideas? Which do you think this sounds like?
Sounds like a cool idea, but who wants to sit by the record player all day and bump it when the record skips? I'd ask your guests to bring a burn of their favorite tunes on CD. Also, I'd stay away from a hotel if it's going to be a big party. I think the best parties I've been to were at people's houses who have lots of land. People set up their tents and stay the night. Pig Roast, big bon fire. Those are great times!
I have a cd and tape player built into the record player. (I wrote that also) Records don't skip as much as cds and you can fix a record that skips. (Put a quaurter on the arm where it skips.) Someone gave me an Anmials cd (two cds in one) to listen to and told me I could keep it as long as I want. (Aren't I lucky?)
This sounds like a groovy idea...but yeah, I'd rather do it somewhere where there was a lot of land...pitch some tents and such! Peace!
We could hold it at a hotel with an outdoor poor and electrical outlets. (Do you really wanna dance near a pool outside though?) I need to plug in my record player. (It's a plug in for dinosaur like me.)
I'm with you, DragonLady! Had some of our best times partyin like that. A cheap pig roastin grill - we had a chain link gate for a fence, that we'd cover with aluminum foil, and dig a hole for the wood/charcoal. Marinade the whole pig in a garbage bag with all yer stuff, in a bathtub full of ice overnight. You gotta break the pig flat though, to cook it on a gate. And our parties we have in yards/fields/woods, and we pitch in on the portapotty. We rent a two room shitter on a trailer with AIR CONDITIONING (how great is that!) electic lighting and sinks for $200 a weekend. Then camping in the field doesn't seem roughing it at all.
_______________________ That's cool but I'd like to have a record player (I'm old fashion) plus I'd like to have a pool so that people that like to swim could swim. (I figure it would make it more fun than people in their backyards with nothing to swim in unless you have a lake.) Pig roast are ok but I'm allergic to pig so maybe a chicken roast would be better. (I just don't want to have the no smoking fight.) There is no smoking at the party for obvious reasons.
