Another Fan Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Every now and then there O.K. People in general tend to make me anxious though. Made it to The Ralph though twice in my life. Was a fun environment. Would like to see if I can get to the Denver game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm not a fan of large crowds and generally there tends to be at least one a hole who turns a good time into a bunch of needless drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I prefer a group of friends and family around a campfire, with a couple of acoustic guitars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I have social anxiety so the larger the party the better, so I can hide in a corner and just observe people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I loved going to parties in high school and college because I loved to party. Now as an adult it really depends on what type of party we are talking about and what the environment is going to be like. I would much prefer a night in watching tv or movies than most social gatherings these days. But Bills tailgating or golf tournaments or a good concert can still be a lot of fun.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Some parties are awesome. Some parties are lame. I like to be around good people, eat good food, and drink good drinks. Good music/entertainment is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It's hit or miss with me. Sometimes I don't feel like being sociable. Other times I'm the life of the party. Depends how I'm feeling and who's there. I did have one fun experience last month. There is a band from Texas I follow on Facebook that we're going to tour the northeast. They have an underground following so instead of clubs they play house parties. I went to Boston and brought a case of beer because that's what you do right? Bring beer to share. Well I was the oldest person there by at least 30 years. Everyone in their cliques. I found a spot in the corner and figured I'd just listen to the music and go. One kid starts making small talk so I offered him a beer. Soon others noticed I brought beer to share and suddenly became the most popular person in the place. The first guy explained to me later that sharing alcohol just isn't done and I was breaking convention. Now I never heard that before. Is this a thing with broke millennials? Kind of sad if it is. Anyway I had a blast. Expected to be a wallflower but wound up making friends. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Large parties - no...I get anxious and jittery, especially work related things where I have to put on a "good impression". Smaller family parties or groups of friends are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have social anxiety so the larger the party the better, so I can hide in a corner and just observe people. Every try cocaine?

boyst Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have social anxiety so the larger the party the better, so I can hide in a corner and just observe people. you're an interesting dude, i think most people would be shocked how many of us are in actual person. some of us are as nice and kind as we are on here - the gugny's, mead's, rich's, rosen's and cletus'. some are a lot softer and nicer than you'd think, mr ags. some are just ?? Every try cocaine? That should cure that. Let's try this again. Kind: Orgy Attending: My niece if your niece was ever to send you a message that she was on a date with me...what happens? and if i was at that kind of party on cocaine i would probably still be an !@#$ and make fun of people, except be happy doing it!

GottaRun Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm fine in huge crowds - 60,000 people = no problem. Put me in a room with 12 people and I'm doomed.. No, I do not. I know you're all shocked by this news. Try to get over it. Are you invited to parties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) It's hit or miss with me. Sometimes I don't feel like being sociable. Other times I'm the life of the party. Depends how I'm feeling and who's there. I did have one fun experience last month. There is a band from Texas I follow on Facebook that we're going to tour the northeast. They have an underground following so instead of clubs they play house parties. I went to Boston and brought a case of beer because that's what you do right? Bring beer to share. Well I was the oldest person there by at least 30 years. Everyone in their cliques. I found a spot in the corner and figured I'd just listen to the music and go.

Anyway I had a blast. Expected to be a wallflower but wound up making friends. You never know. That is a good story. I often strike up convo with the old dude in the bar. I'm no youngster myself and I've had many spring chicks strike up convo with me. I generally enjoy drinking with people older and younger than me more than the middle age shmucks like myself. And yes, I love a good party. My company parties are incredible. My best friend of 30+ years throws a helluva Halloween party. My mom and step dad throw a kickass memorial day shindig. I wish my party's were cooler because my back yard is a wonderful setting. Edited May 2, 2017 by BUFFALOKIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Teens - 20's - went to large parties as often as possible. Great place to meet girls and being under the influence of alcohol and things didn't hurt at all 30's - parties were less often and fewer people. Emphasis was more on food and blender drinks than outright debauchery. 40's - parties became rare and mostly just a few couples, grilling, hot tubbing and wine. 50's - A party is having a beer a shot of Agwa and a smoke with my neighbor.

Augie Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 In our past we did a lot of big function "business development" stuff. Large groups in big settings, hard to hear each other, know which bar has the shortest line kind of stuff. Once seated, I would develop a wonderful relationship with the other 8-10 people at our table, while my wife would work the other 300 people in the room. I would not see her from salad to dessert. She's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
