For fictional parties, though, definitely the one in the movie version of Breakfast at Tiffanies, with loud mambo records. And of course all of Gatsby's parties!Adairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-62709083755103784992014-01-16T10:01:37.377-06:002014-01-16T10:01:37.377-06:00My first party of choice would be one of Mitrofan ...My first party of choice would be one of Mitrofan Belyayev's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belyayev_circle" rel="nofollow">Friday night music parties</a> in St. Petersburg.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-54394309593729190042014-01-16T08:38:22.414-06:002014-01-16T08:38:22.414-06:00I would have trouble coming up with a real party--...I would have trouble coming up with a real party--maybe the one where Proust met Joyce?--but I can think of several fictional ones I'd like to attend. The Grand Ball in War and Peace might be nice, and so too the airborne, never-ending party in The Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy. Or the "Party in the Woods Tonight" that Jonathan Richman sings about. One nice thing: I never feel awkward at fictional parties.Stefannoreply@blogger.com
