I’m sure under 21 can get into something like that… no bouncers… free reign. i think something like this is great. Here is my biggest problem. There is alot of work and organization to make something like this go down. And in most cases it will be me fronting money to make it happen. I have been burned to many times in the past with the fronting money so I have tried to avoid these situations. For me I think its easier that we hold something at a public place… Therefore they are responisble for the food, people, and entertainment. I am not rejecting the idea of holding it at a hall, but i hope you can see my point why I try to stay away from the idea. ---

Well why dont you charge like $5, I know I wouldn’t expect to go to a holiday party, outside of a work function, and not pay something to get in. if 50 people only show up, thats still $250, which covers the hall and probably beer. And everyone can bring something, food wise. it would just have to be organized more. I’d defintiely help plan it, and organize people bringing food. Then all we have to do is collect money before so and so date to pay for the hall. ---

I do not feel comfortable buying the alcohol for a party like this because if something happens to someone its my ass! and people want dancing, that needs music… a DJ for a night like this would probably be around 400 dollars alone! ---

I absolutely understand where you are coming from… Could you… Pick a place now… Receive payment by… XXXX… date If they have not paid they are not coming. If you get a firefighter to book the hall… sometimes they are free. All monies received by you could be for pop, beer, other beverage… Each person bring a covered dish. Mental note: This sounds like our wedding…mine and Eurodad’s. ---
