 Its Friday night, do you know where your party is? If you want to go to a themed party but don’t want to sweat all that booze out don’t hit up the fraternities. Run, hop, skip and or jump over to Townhouses where you might find the best party since 1999.
Hosted by three guys in what they call “the best party place on campus,” they let their party guests to whatever they want. They boast a “regulation sized” Beirut table which is in their kitchen, a dance floor, full bar, DJ mixed music and the best party scene this side of the river.
These three guys, who wished to remain anonymous due to fears that their parties would get shut down from the massive attention my articles usually bring, have also spent time mastering drinks. They have created two “new” drinks which they call the TP Connection, and Sneaky Punch.
The TP Connection is made with black cherry seltzer and a shot of Brandy. Its served as a mixed drink. Sneaky Punch is made with 100 proof Southern Comfort, fruit juice concentrate and seltzer water. One of them said it “f**ks you up, and goes down smooth. Girls love it!”
They do have a giant policy on alcohol consumption, just like Pacific however. They are proud of the fact that no one has ever puked in their apartment during a party. They recognize when people are at their limit. “We want people to leave happy, not sick.”
To advertise their parties they use Facebook as their advertising tool. Themed parties is what they’re best at. Their first being a Halloween party and the latest one being Moustaches and Mini-Skirts. They “give people who don’t want to go to the frats an option. Frats aren’t the only option on campus.”
As far as their financial obligations, they don’t enforce people to pay for the booze they drink. Instead they have created a “party council”, much like a fraternity has with their social chair and all the members of the house, they all chip in and pay for the booze. So far they’ve had three parties and spent only $700 total between those parties.
One thing that does separate these guys from fraternities is the quality of booze they have on hand. Upon opening their freezer and the cabinet below their bar, it was chock full of every kind of mid-shelf alcohol you would find at S-Mart. No plastic handles in this apartment.
While I sat on their couch late one evening interviewing these guys I couldn’t help but notice the walls were covered in scantily clad women from magazines taped. When asked about it, they said that they like to look at them, and the girls that come through seem to not mind either. It provides a conversation piece and something for the girls to strive for.
“There is nothing on main campus that we can’t provide here. Quality booze, a dance floor, Beirut, and the best music.” They don’t allow their party goers to control the music but they do take suggestions of what people want to listen to.
Their one word of advice however is to buy your hard alcohol at Wal Mart and your beer and mixers at Winco Foods. You’ll save money and you’ll get the most bang for your buck. So next time you’re interested in attending a themed party, first check out Facebook, look for the townies and then look for these guys.
