Birthday party

The long awaited birthday party took place last weekend and it was a big success. The hall, were it all happened is not exactly brand new but it has a certain atmosphere, is very spacious and most importantly it is for free. Anyway I started the preparations for the party the day before and it all intensified on Saturday. It felt like I almost moved half of my room down to the hall and I was rather stressed but we (My girlfriend was extremely helpful) managed to pull it all off before the honoured quests started to arrive.

The last party I arranged had very popular quiz which one of my friends arranged (although it contained some strange questions about trees…) so I had prepared a quiz myself containing eight questions. The guests were, in an ingenious way, arranged in different teams. Co-op is the key to success and the quiz contained some hard questions. Especially one question got criticised…it was about a robber’s name in the very famous film about a girl called Ronja who is a daughter to the leader of a band of robbers, Matis. The questions might seem tricky at first glance but it is important to pay attention to details since the robber’s name is presented at the end of the film. The teams also got some texts that belonged to the team name. One text was about a very huggable little animal called dronk. It is also fair to point about that the animal itself was present and received its fair share of admiration and attention from my guests. Anyhow, the winning team scored five out of eight which is a decent result. The worst team only managed to get one point which is a bit too low, but daily reading of a DN (a highly regarded newspaper in Sweden) would probably lead to a vast improvement until next time.

We were supposed to be out of the hall at 10 o clock but the party just carried on until half past one in the middle of the night, and that is a good review to me. The rhythm on the dance floor was awesome. I actually got some use for my vastly improved dancing skills (I have taken a jitterbug course) sevens lesson and a more than moderate amount of alcohol did the trick.

All in all, all the preparations paid of and we all had a great time. This actually opens the door for another beer night happening. But it is by no mean official yet so you can only hope.
