By “party”, I mean a physical social gathering of people for the purposes of having fun. It may be used in a sentence as “I am throwing a party!” or “Let’s party!”.
Basically what I am trying to say is the default “party”.
I’ve never been to any, and I have no idea how people spend their time on parties, so I am curious how you did.
We need to ban the acoustic guitar players from parties. They’re vibe killers and they don’t even realize it.
Who actually wants to sit around in a silent group to watch some guy or girl sing a slow acoustic cover of Bruce Springsteen?
I love guitars at parties. You don’t play with the intention of being the focus of everyone’s attention, but rather to provide some background music to fit the mood of the ongoing conversation around you.
I have so much respect for musicians who can play in the background
The silence is the issue. I usually hum or sing along or give song recommendations.
(My friends are disproportionately likely to be musicians.)
If getting drunk around a campfire counts as a party, that ban needs an exception. If the bluetooth speakers are dead at 2am, someone pulling out a guitar is the best thing that can happen.
