July 4th, 2000

My last 4th of July in California. Paul was legendary for his 4th of July parties. This year was a little different, however. He went on vacation with his family, only to return on July 2nd or 3rd. Paul, Scott and I had a feeling that Paul's parents might rescind their previous desicion to host the part at their house, so we made arrangements to move the party, last minute, to Scott's house (where we held the New Year's Eve Party), in that event. Up to Paul's departure date, however, the party was still at his house. While Paul was gone, his friend Chris took it upon himself to inform Paul's guests that the party had been moved to Chris's house. When Paul came home and found out about this, he was upset. But he allowed the party to take place at Chris's house anyway, even though most of his other friends would have prefered to move it back to Paul's house or to Scott's house. So the party was a little out of control. We didn't really have anything bad happen, it just seemed as if no one was really in charge of the party. Chris tried to enforce the rules of his parents home while Paul insisted on making the party as rowdy as possible to discourage Chris from throwing any more parties. The guests were a tad confused as to whom they should listen, but they seemed to enjoy themselves anyway, for the most part.
