It is not very often that one finds a decent party at Ivy Hall. Most of the time, the room is so crowded that it resembles the horror of a Slave Ship. With the apartments of Ivy hardly large enough to fit a small group of people comfortably, it becomes even more difficult to host a party. So, what is the appeal of Ivy?
Okay, I don’t have the answer. All I know is that I continuously get sucked into the vortex of Ivy, swimming back to dear life. I’m experiencing an event equivalent to The Bermuda Triangle and I feel as if I will never surface back to the real world.
It was this Friday night when I made one more journey to Ivy. Walking towards one particular building, I felt the ground pulsing. The walls were shaking as I walked up the soaked stairway. Why were they wet? God only knows. Some would claim that it was urine, beer or melted snow. I claim that the steps were soaked in visions of the Promised Land.
This Promised Land I speak of is the home of the “Country Hicks and Red Hot Slamming Chicks” party hosted by Paul K., Andrew L., Bob C. And Matt G. Due to the club-feeling created by a disco light and the ability to convince every person to dress in costume, one realizes that these boys know how to throw a party. With every attendee actually entering the apartment according to theme and with a room free of obstructing furniture, the party was Red Hot.
When talking to Paul, I asked what made his parties different. With earnestness, he responded, “We play better music than all of those other parties; we play Rock.” With a play list that even consisted of Classic Rock, the party made you feel like you were back at the beach, hanging out with your best friends and listening to the sound of an acoustic guitar (since everyone seems to “play guitar” these days).
The large, yet intimate crowd that showed up for the party were out to have an incredible night and I feel most people did. As Paul said, “This is a great time just hanging out with your friends.”
Make sure you check out the pictures from the party, and make sure you cry if you missed it.
