let them go nuts with doodling (make sure itβs erasable) I had 12 people in my house for my birthday and was fairly panicked so 50 for an apt party sounds absolutely bonkers have so much fun!
there's something elevating and unifying when we get outside of ourselves with others, when we let our guard down, when we stop giving a damn about our dignity I suspect that most people want to let their hair down, want to let go of the uptight facade, want to move past the performance pressure to be perpetually cool But it's hard to be the first one to do it, so you've got to show people that it is fun and okay to do this Having a themed party seems like a great start Adding in some group activities, I don't know, just making this up right now, like a "funny walks contest" or bobbing for apples βΒ I mean, I've never bobbed for apples, but what does bobbing for apples do: it gets you wet, awkward, looking silly, and that gets us to where we want to be: having unadulterated fun, memorably, together
come one come all
no prixfix menus

My Top 5:
Little Simz - her power and energy are unmatched. truly felt like i witnessed greatness Thundercat - this past fall @ Hollywood Bowl where he just kept bringing out surprise guests β Steve Lacy, Childish Gambino, Suicidal Tendencies, Tame Impala and friends. felt like his own lil festival that he genuinely curated from the heart π§Έ Tyler, The Creator - IGOR album tour James Blake - in a church, vibes and acoustics were immaculate β¨ Four Tet - set up in the center of the room with lights like Kusamaβs infinity room or teamLab surrounding him
