It's becoming a habit this year to throw parties at the house. Whenever I introduce that or tell it to people, I always do it first by explaining the compulsive, engineering nature of my housemates. Eric and Nick have a tendency to go on adventures together (the forty-foot tall Trebuchet we're building is a good example) and their latest adventure has been planning and throwing a good party. So they do it. The last one was very professional. Now they keep going. Sounds like fun, right? :)
