The soundtrack thing does get annoying as it changes depends on who I’m talking to at any given moment. Everyone just has to get used to the occassional pivot from 90s stoner rock to 70s Nigerian funk. That or throw things at me. I’ve had parties like this and it tends to be the latter.

Did this for my 30th (and 31st actually) - rented a big cottage/activity centre in the Peaks that slept 60 in bunk rooms plus space for campers. Took a friend’s PA with us, ordered a load of Pieminister pies and curry from Lily’s Indian vegetarian in Ashton and had a bloody great weekend both times.

dan_thw came both times and turned out to be an excellent DJ

Pub
Bowling
Karaoke
Laser quest
Pub
Curry

I’m basically a big boozy child.

It was this place - I’d strongly recommend it if anyone is looking for a venue:

Incredible value too - I think they charged us £1k for two nights which between everyone who came worked out at around £25pp for two nights plus all food included. Ridiculous.

Nice curry and a couple beers

Theme: some sort of glam fancy dress where everyone makes a massive effort and loves it. If I can shoehorn myself into plastic trousers and body glitter into the theme then that.
Food: painstakingly self-prepared and over-catered. Many baked products, Mediterranean salads, pico de gallo, possibly meze, homemade pittas with kofte, pizza, heavy and moist pistachio cakes.
Soundtrack: loud and fast, rock turning to hard house and psy-trance until the following lunchtime.
Number of guests: loads
Location: my house
Activities/other: dancing, yeah karaoke, cocktails. The kids at grandma’s

Asian karaoke good
British pub karaoke, one of the worst sins known to humankind.

Lots of these sound more like mini break weekends away with friends. Really bloody, lovely weekends away with friends, mind.

#42

Pub with food and as many sludge beers as you can manage til you pass out. 15-20 or so people is plenty.

No need to overthink this, is there?
