John:  I think I’m gonna have a house party this weekend.

Derek:  You think so? How many people are you gonna have?

John:  I dunno. Will you come?

Derek:  Sure. I’ll come.

John:  Well that makes two of us. I think maybe, uh, I’ll try to have maybe twenty or thirty. Pretty big.

Derek:  That sounds like it might be kind of a full house.

John:  Yeah. Well, I just got this new barbeque. And, uh, I figured I could go pick up a cooler for drinks and stuff. And I think it’s a lot more fun than going out to a bar. It’s a lot cheaper that’s for sure.

Derek:  Yeah. And you can walk around and mingle with everybody that you know.

John:  Yeah. I’m gonna need some music though. Do you have any cool mp3s?

Derek:  Yeah. I could bring a bunch.

John:  Yeah. That’d be nice. You have an iPod, right?

Derek:  Of course. Who doesn’t have an iPod?

John:  Well, I don’t. Bring that over and we’ll have fun.

Derek:  I’ll do that.

John:  Thanks.

Having an iPod is a good way to bring music to a party. Another way is having a party with live music.
I went to one recently where 4 bands played. It was a lot of fun and very interesting to see performers at a party.
It’s pretty easy to set up. All you have to do is ask your neighbors, find some bands and invite your friends. Instant party!
