I totally hear you on the party thing. Every time I've had a place that's ideal to entertain company, it's more of a challenge to wrangle up attendees.
Paintball was a tonne of fun!
I was actually pretty worried I was going to get shot like a milion times but i only got hit twice and they both didn't hurt. Some of the other guys i was with weren't quite so lucky though - they had some pretty nice marks to show.
Sorry to hear about your party. I had one like that one time. I invited a bunch of people and three turned out...not all at once, either.
On the subject of space, I have a theory that friends take it for granted when you have a lot of room. They assume you're going to have the place for a while, and reason that you're always going to want to have parties. That's just my theory, though.
Glad I made a difference, though. Hearing that made that whole inane journal entry worth so much more than I had any right to expect.
Yeah I had similar party disasters but what I did to build up the actual show percentage was to have them a little more frequently and soon it became when will you have another party.... I started charging at the door so I could bring a little green in the house and then our landlord said cease and desist or we will kick you out... so we did
Good luck with the band...
The reason I have so much to do on the weekends is because everything is new right now I am sure I will become boring soon...
I woulda come.
