I woke up a week before Christmas to the winter cold that lay dormant on my floor. As usual, I walked up to my comp and just like any other day browsed facebook like it was my morning newspaper. The shocking bit being that I was invited to a party that my friends were throwing. I had received invites before but this was out of the blue. So I called a friend of mine and figured it was for real. It was dated 26th of December, 2011 and the invite list was huge. It was then I realized that this is one party I cannot miss.
As 26th arrived, I tried assisting them in any last minute help they needed but they all had everything well under control. The chairs and tables were in their place, the system was set and the lighting was beautifully done by throwing the mushroom lighting on the center which would later be the dance floor. As the DJ for the night arrived he brought with him some trippy laser lighting which added to the atmosphere that left all those who had come for our parties before, rather speechless because we had never attempted anything as such before. The best part being it was a terrace and the neighbors didn’t seem to mind much since it was Christmas time. As I returned an hour later in my casuals it was breathtaking to watch the food and drinks neatly laid down, two sheesha’s lit, the lighting looked excellent and the music was pumping loud. Obviously someone had done a really good job here and the credit went to more than just one or two people.
As the guests arrived and poured their choice of drinks into their glass, they were well off to the dance floor. I don’t even remember the dance floor being empty even for a second before 4:30 – 5a.m. The dim lights around the corners gave a very good lounge feel. The food was being served non-stop varying from some delicious beef chilly to our very special barbecued chicken. The dancing bit was really fun because I haven’t danced so much for a really long time. Although there were minor interruptions, not by cops but by some little ass-bandits who I assume wanted to gate-crash but that too was handled well without disturbing the guests on top. A little jive and waltz was thrown in the middle and then suddenly the tempo was shot back up to some good beats. As the night drew close and as the guests were leaving the only thing I could hear was what an awesome party it was.
It was something way different than what we usually do every year but nonetheless the change was excellent. There were no complaints at all from all who attended the event. A hats off to the organizers who helped set up everything with such perfection and I hope we have such revelries every year.
