Nothing says class like a keg party!
Awsome tidbit in today’s police blotter in the Boston Herald:
It was quite a bash at 45 Selkirk St. Friday night, but the antics of some 100 toga-clad partygoers got 10 underage female hosts arrested and resulted in the seizure of four kegs of beer.
It seems the 10 ladies were charging admission to the party complete with beer and an “ice luge” in the basement in which hard liquor was poured down a crevice in a slab of ice into the mouth of the person below.
Police said the trouble began when a group of Boston College basketball players tried to get in without paying. (Why does this not surprise us?)
“Insisting that their status as Boston College basketball players was good enough for entry, they forced the issue and the people at the party refused their attempt to crash the party and a ruckus ensued,” the cops noted.
When officers responded to send everyone on their way, they found the apartment oozing with beer and the basement moist with water and booze from the ice luge.
10 underage co-eds in toga throwing a keg party? Yes, baby!
It reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me about a keg party that he and some of his buddies organized while going to college in Providence, R.I., several years ago. They, too, charged for admission and were gleefully counting their money when two of the city’s finest showed up. After the cops discovered ten kegs, all but one empty, scattered around the house they informed the party hosts that “Mister Cianci doesn’t like it when the city doesn’t get its tax revenue” (Cianci being the legendary Buddy Cianci, then the mayor of Providence, but now incarcerated in a federal prison). The cops cared nothing about the fact that practically everybody at the party was underage. The organizers got away with paying a fine (though a real, actual fine, as opposed to a cash tips to the officers).
