Second Base Make Out Party (II)
Kissing & Dancing & Spinning the Bottle
The Gladstone Hotel, in the Ballroom & some rooms

Friday March 19 2004 9pm


I had my first make out party when I was eleven. My friends and I talked about the party for weeks before hand, mainly making up the perfect list of people we wanted to kiss. Darryl Young was my main agenda for throwing the party. I had a heart throbbing crush on him. I even wrote him a song.*

It took four of us the whole day of the party to get the basement ready, setting up comfy and semi-private places for necking. My friend Shelley Tool didn't have enough time to go home to change so she asked if she could borrow one of my halter tops to make it easy for Darren (her main crush at the time).

The party started early and almost immediately the room divided into two: boys vs girls. Thank god I had an older sister who with confidence got a game of spin the bottle started. She didn't play, but arranged us in a circle and spun the bottle. The kissing started slowly, but by the second hour most of the comfy spots were taken and I necked with Daryl for about an hour.

artists:
  • Darren O'Donnell (spinning the bottle)
  • Emily Hogg (blanket make out forts)
  • Michelle Kasprzak (video loop)
  • Adrian Blackwell (monster inner tube spiral)
  • Cecilia Berkovic (eighties heart throb pin up collection)
  • Ulysses C (Bureau of Personal Guidance)
  • Simone Moir (videostoremakeout)
  • Laura Borealis (surprise videos)
  • Kate Monro (digi porn)
  • Allyson Mitchell (decoupage bottle for spinning)
  • Stacey Boileau and Scott Nihill (kissing video loop)
  • De L'Amour Productions: brings to the Instant Coffee Make Out Party a muse patrol. This team of uniformed vanguard vigilantes comprised of muses Louise Bak, Emilie Chhangur, Lucia de L'Amour, Georgia Dunn, Daisy Mc Cabe-Lokus and in the role of Papa Zeus, Ken Ogawa, will be there in full effect to serve and protect.

    music:
  • dj Isabelle (the most over-the-top, gaylord french pop you've ever heard)
  • Los Cholos (live music)
  • dj Mary Kate Olsen (electro/hair metal mash up set)
  • JP (genre skipping)
  • dj Lewis Kaye (electrowave, technofunk, newlectro)
  • Jubal Brown (whatever he wants).

    TIPS FOR GOOD KISSING: 1. Brush your teeth & groom nicely. 2. find a consenting partner 3. hold, firmly but not to tightly. 4. Move your face closer (to avoid bumping noses we suggest tilting your head slightly). 5. Close your eyes and breathe through your nose 6. Begin kissing with your lips closed. 7. slowly and lightly draw your tongue across the other person's lips before exploring their tongue: licking or sucking, but don't bite. 9. Explore other areas of the mouth. 10. Continue kissing.

    flu, colds, cold sores, viruses, etc...not welcome
