<p>is it like this where you live </p>
<p>where if you hear about a party (it is hosted at a guy's house who you barely know), you just show up?</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>do you go to parties where the people going, you know fairly well?</p>
<p>I go to parties when I know the people pretty well- there can still be people I dont know, but I want to at least have people I can hang out with right away</p>
<p>people I know fairly well.. it would be really awkward to me otherwise</p>
<p>I always know the people throwing the party</p>
<p>Well my town is small enough that everyone who goes to parties knowns each other anyway.</p>
<p>well, where i live you pretty much go to any party you hear about, regardless of if you know the host or not.</p>
<p>There are a bunch of "open parties" in my area, but I never go. I'm more of a small group type person.</p>
<p>Yea, I usually go to parties where I know the hosts pretty well.</p>
<p>Going to parties that you aren't invited to is a good way to get your ass kicked from the scene I grew up in...</p>
<p>I only go to parties I'm invited to, that's the way it works over here.</p>
<p>we want fun, want pie, want fun. we want to have fun, and we want to get wasted.</p>
<p>Ditto to Luwain's post. I only respond to invitations. Not informal "oh my parents aren't home so let's get wasted!" parties.</p>
<p>I knew everyone in my graduating class, so the second option.</p>
<p>interesting....here if u hear about a party from anyone then you can go if you want (even if ur not invited originally)</p>
