Bad, bad idea. Bad things will happen, especially with that many poeple around. Even if they don't fsck up the house, you'll still have to clean like mad (that will likely include vomit as well).
 
lots of alcohol and loud music.

take anything breakable or expensive and lock it up in a bedroom (all bedrooms should also be locked).

be sure to give yourself a day to clean.

Better they learn to do it right, than staging a party that ends in a catastrophe 😛

From MY point of view, it will be better if it's a total catastrophe, and he posts about it on ATOT😛

It would be even better if the OP ended up being anno's kid. That would be the thread of the year.

1) hide any expensive stuff, and hide it well
2) Lock and i do mean LOCK the parts of the house you want noone in
3) have a sober friend or 2 that can kick ass if needed
4) prepare for the worst, 10x more people then you want are gonna show up
5) hide every kitchen knife you have
6) force people to walk, lots of cars = problems
7) have someone at the door - pref one of the sober ass kicking peoples
8) get 10x more beer then you think you will need
9) trash bags LOTS OF THEM, as well as rags to clean up spills
10) pray

in all honesty its a VERY BAD idea, i speak from expirence, and evenif things go OK something fvcked up will happen, and you parents will find out and thats not good

crap forgot about my neighbors, I live in a really conservative upper class neighborhood. I hope my neighbors dont notice like 20 cars parked outside my house

Find 2-3 guys to act as taxi drivers for the night, hopefully with SUVs or vans. Cars are the #1 way to attract attention, even more so in the neighborhood you describe.

An unfinished basement == perfect. People won't give a crap and if they do you don't want them at your party. Watch out for stupid people. No matter how in control of the place you may be, a single stupid person can ruin it for everyone.

Have fun, stay safe.
 
You young kiddies probably have no clue what a Yukaflux is, but when I was young and my parents left town, that was da bomb!!!
 
mabe i shouldnt go around campus inviting people lol
i donno how im goin to do the carpooling
alot of my friends live in Ann arbor and i live like 20 mins east of that.
 
When I had Yukaflux parties it was $10 all you can drink, and I actually made a profit at the end and everybody got sh|tfaced drunk

Wow, given the way you talked in this thread I would have put you around 15....

Anyays, good luck with the party... if you throw a bad party nobody will ever show up to one again, but if you throw a kickass party people will always expect good parties from you.

In short... don't fvck up.

that doesn't matter. if it's red, it doesn't come in. period. accidents and mistakes happen. red accidents and mistakes will be detected.

I learned this from the people next door. 🙂

Point of contest - Blood is red. And that sh!t requires pro-cleaning.

- M4H

I have personal experience with that...luckily I had plenty of paint left over. I will never forget re-painting the wall at 4:30am on a saturday night while my passed out friends were moaning/snoring/mumbling in their sleep.
You're lucky the blood didn't stain through. Multiple coats = 🙁

good idea

Find yourself a massive container (we use to purchase these huge plastic buckets from Costco with rope handles that were big enough to bath in). Then go out and buy a ton of fresh fruit. (we use to purchase, mellon, strawberries, pineapple). You then need to purchase a bunch of frozen punch (we use McCains frozen fruit punch). You then need alcohol (we preferred vodka and white rum). Now, cut up the fruit and put it in the plastic bucket. Now, add the cans of frozen punch. Add a bunch of water to thin it out. Now, add lots of bottles of rum and vodka. (the last Yukaflux I had had over a dozen 26oz bottles of white rum and vodka in it and about a dozen cans of frozen punch with water). Make this earlier in the day to allow the fruit to soak up alcohol. When the evening rolls around and the guests drop by, have a big ladel so that they can scoop out the beverage and get some fruit as well. (the fruit is the best part because it gets super-saturated with alcohol). Anyway, if you manage this correctly, it's a ton of fun and everybody gets absolutely hosed drinking the booze and eating the fruit. I highly recommend you do this. My Yukaflux were so legendary people still talk about it today, some 20 years later.

 
inviting lots of peeps from a college probably isnt a good idea unless you have a good couple friends helping you there.
