Have you ever crashed a party, picnic, conference or other event(s)?

Never crashed, but I have shown up to listen to a band when I was researching who to hire for my own wedding. We dressed up and went to a reception for about fifteen minutes. The band leader had told us where they would be playing. I think we only stood out because my husband had on a black suit not a tux, not that you can’t get away with that anyway, or maybe just because we were a new set of faces suddenly in the crowd, if someone was good at taking in faces. One woman started talking to us and figured out we were there to see the band. Not that she cared, she was nice and smiled about it, she probably had done the same at some point since guessed it. We didn’t eat or drink anything.

My friend’s dad took us out to dinner in San Francisco and we all wore coat and tie. We went for a nightcap at the then revolving bar at the top of the. Hyatt Regency.

As we were leaving, we took an elevator down, and it stopped ouside one of the ballrooms where a wedding reception was going on. The friend’s dad said, let’s check it out”, and we went in and fit right in with the other guests, went to the bar and got some drinks.

They had a good band so a couple of us asked some girls to dance. Had a lot of fun, but we split before we got caught.

Another time my fraternity was having a costume party, and one of the apartments next door was also having a party. I could hear their stereo when our band took a break, so I went next door to check it out. Turns out it was a party of international students. Met a girl from Sweden there, and took her back to the fraternity party for a little while. I have always wondered what happened to Anna Blum from Uppsala.
