She Said:

My number one source of inspiration for this column comes from the party my housemates and I threw at the Guy’s Dupe. My second source comes from the crazy antics of our senior class.

It truly amazes me that I can witness nine drunken heart-to-hearts, three boys unsuccessfully hitting on girls and one public make-out in the Long Island Sound [you know who you are] all within the short distance from the Dupe to the Point.

Oh the Point – a’ precious slab of concrete over-looking semi-polluted water that transforms into a beer-saturated free-for-all from the hours of noon to 6 p.m. When the sun goes down, the partying migrates to respective senior homes, and this is where I witnessed some comical underclassmen party fouls that must be commented on.

Here are some general party guidelines:

Keg etiquette:’ ‘ Girls should always be filled up first. Listen guys, no matter how much you may love keg beer, the tap will never make-out with you, but the girl waiting for a drink can. The same rule applies for the bar.’ Boys buying drinks is a total turn on – hint hint.

Guest etiquette:’ Always introduce yourself and/or thank the host of the party. Telling me that you are the birthday girl’s cousin’s, uncle’s step-dad does not exempt you from this rule.’ More important, don’t forget that you are a guest in a house, drinking for free. So if someone tells you to leave, then leave.

House etiquette: Do not eat any of the food in the kitchen.’ Asking the address of the beach house so you can order Dominos is also unacceptable.’ If you bump into someone or spill a drink, say you’re sorry. And above all, respect your elders. You will have your time to shine one day too.

Seniors – let’s all send a thank you card to the owners of the Grape; without that place, there would be no escape, no reason to kick everyone out and no vodka 180s.
