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!
