All Yesterday’s Parties
Sunday, September 18, 2005As a giant social experiment (and also as a test of my drinking stamina and ability to navigate around the city), I attended three separate social gatherings last night; two south of the river and one quite a long way north. Travelling ate into drinking time substantially, which was a bad thing. In spite of the fact that these three parties contained very separate groups of people (my uni, work(ish) and warwick uni(ish)), the multiple party-going threw up a number of points about how small the world is:
- One of the people at Party 1 was also invited to Party 3, as he knows a lot of the folk there
- Another of the Party 1 people was torn between Party 1 and Party 2, for romantic reasons (ooh, err!)
- One of the Party 2 people turned up later at Party 3, through some complete roundabout logic
- Party 3 had some other random who I’d had too-expensive cocktails with eons ago
All in all - sticking to one party would’ve been the best idea, mostly for the sake of my sanity…
