All I can say is that Age lifestyle journalists must be attending and hosting very boring parties these days, and if you get invited to a party by an Age lifestyle journalist I would suggest you politely decline.
If I was organising a perfect party this is what I would like:
- guests who are funny and a little bit competitive but not too competitive, so you can have plenty of amusing anecdotes flying but everyone gets to finish their sentences
- outdoorsyness
- food with protein in it
- lots of water available (either for drinking when thirsty or for using in waterpistols)
- children who can entertain themselves in the backyard
- grownups who can entertain themselves in the backyard
- icypoles
- music that comes on vinyl with things like 'Brazil' and '66' on the cover. But not including Bob Dylan and 66 (unless the party has already been going for a very long time and is nearly over)
- fruit
- people who like to sing along (but not competitively for this, please). People who like to sing the Love Boat theme are particularly welcome)
- Parlour Games available if needed, with a suitable number of guests willing to play parlour games and be quite competitive indeed
- a friendly and very old neighbour who enjoys a party
- a jazz band
- diverse beverages
- things that the guests enjoy eating, drinking and doing.

I'd like to come to your party, please. It sounds wonderful.
Yes, you should definitely be there to make it perfect.
Can I come too?
Yeah. Me too. I'm not particularly good at anecdotes but I laugh a lot at others anecdotes, which I think just encourages them to say more.
For a kickass party, I only need three things:
1) great people with great chemistry together;
2) good food;
3) alcohol.
Anything more is really just gravy.

I was thinking I wanted to come to that party, too, then I realised I know own a house and I can throw that party. Wanna come?
I promise to sing the theme to Love Boat LIKE A BOSS if I come to your party.
You can all come to my party. Howsabout next week?
Your party sounds awesome, yay! So much better than matching floral arrangements.
