Bring The House Down


the last ever house party at searles road


and the not-yet-but-close-to-last one at torrens road

this weekend there was funk, there was gabba, there was drum n bass. there were west african drummers and animation video projections. there was much too much alcohol. there was a door busted out of its hinges and frame, there was general disorientation and a kid swinging from a sarong-hammock hung from the beams of the ceiling. there was also waking up to a quiet house and holding hands, and gardening. and lots of tea, orange juice, the weekend papers and laughter to soothe our befrazzled hungover nerves.

  2. yes! staying with parents just destroys the whole houseparty vibe… although neighbours can be a pain as well.

    i’m moving out of this huge house (7 bedrooms!) and moving to a tiny flat, so no more houseparties for me.

    i’ll have to make do with grown-up dinner parties where we all sit around and drink wine and go ‘oh this is wonderful dah-ling, thank you very much for this meal’. *rolls eyes* thank god we have a balcony and a bbq pit.
