Shitty.
Was supposed to be 5 - 9 for the "family friendly" version and the adult party was from 9 - 1 or whenever.
I don't drink so I figure I'd go to the family friendly portion, grab some eats, hang out a couple hours and head home to relax.
I should preface this by saying I'm not one those OCD types who has to show up the minute a party is supposed to start. If I go to my relatives homes for something I usually show up 1/2 - 1 hour after the start time. I gave myself a little extra time since I'd never been to this place before.
I got there at 5:15 - no one's home. It's definitely the right address. Call my friend - he's working on something at his house and won't even be there till 8. Apparently his friend whose house they were using for the party had taken the kids out for trick or treating and would be back in around a half hour. Well, okay... but the Facebook invite said 5pm. I'm there after 5pm. It wasn't like I showed up early.
So I guess I'm an asshole for expecting someone to be home when they say their party is supposed to start. If you're going out trick or treating and want people to show up later, SET THE TIME TO 6PM OR SOMETHING. Am I crazy?
Shit, I could have napped for an extra hour. I wasn't in a rush to be there or anything.
Plus I figured - I usually don't know hardly anyone at this guy's parties. Maybe there;ll be another couple of people we went to high school with and that's it. So I said fuck it... there's a diner in my town where "everybody knows your name" and I knew they'd be doing costumes and such, so I went there for dinner. Got some compliments on my costume, hung out with people I know and like, had a nice dinner, listened to some good music. Went home and chilled out.
Aren't you glad you asked?
