party crashers

Ever dreamed of an endless stream of free drinks and tasty food in a hot nightclub with no cover and great dance music? Well it can happen- if you are willing to crash. The party I crashed was a friend's work's partnering company holiday party. It was meant as a networking event lubricated with dark lighting and fruity drinks (mmm sangria!). 

I was an impostor with a fake, lying nametag and a weak back story. And that story fell all into pieces the moment someone- who just happened to be a COO or something- started asking me what I did and throwing out names. I responded meekly with "I'm new" and sipped my drink and tried to look tipsy. 

Besides the interrogation, the party was a lot of fun. My friends and I ate, drank and danced the night away. One of us even won an Ipod Touch through a texting guessing game! I really enjoyed it, but I also love the parties where we potluck cheap booze and cheezy puffs, board games and computer playlists. Those home grown budget friendly parties also don't require bad lies!
