House Party

The year is 1999 and a kid from my school is having a couple friends over to keep him company while his parents are gone on a business trip. Little did he know that this was going to be one of the wildest nights of his life? Josh’s parents pack the car and hug him while running out of the door screaming “we left you money on the table, we’ll be back on Tuesday, and don’t forget to feed the dog”! Josh, knowing as always that his parents were late for their flight, didn’t slow them down as they ran out the door. As the door slammed and the parents rushed out of the drive way and out of sight, Josh picked up the phone and called Brandon. Now Brandon and Josh did everything together, they we inseparable. They were like mixing gas and matches and they never stayed out of trouble. When Brandon got to Josh’s house they were immediately dumbfounded with what they were going to do with a house to themselves for a whole weekend. It didn’t take them long to realize what had to be done. So each got on the phone and called up all of their buddies and all the local girls from school. Each call consisted of these words, “party at Josh’s house tonight at 6:30, tell everyone”! Before they knew it they had hundreds of kids coming to their party. Well the main key to this whole story is Brandon was good friends with the lead singer of a new local band called 3 Doors Down. When brad picked up the phone and heard the news, it immediately struck him that they had to play at this party. Brad called up Brandon and told him the news, Brandon and Josh became ecstatic! They knew their party would be the best of the century. Well, the band came first that afternoon and started setting up the set. Then, one by one the crowd started flowing in. Before Josh knew it he had over two hundred teenagers in his house screaming and having the time of their life. Finally the band kicked off and the people flowed outside onto the back porch. By the end of the show 3 Doors Down had everyone jumping up and down screaming with excitement. Josh knew this was the best night of his life, until disaster finally struck. 3 Doors Down was actually too pumped they had the crowd jumping so hard that the beams that support the main section of the deck shattered, and all came crashing down. Thankfully no one was hurt and the band was set up on the cement part, not the deck. All in all, after the night whisked away and the last stragglers stumbled off into the night, Josh and Brandon had one of the greatest nights of their life. After that night, everyone was talking about the new local group 3 Doors Down. They were extremely known throughout the community as the new sensational rocking group. Nights like these create memories and even change people’s life. I mean hey, it certainly changed the bands life forever. And that’s the story on how my cousin actually had 3 Doors Down play at his party before they were nationally a huge rock band.
