The first ever party at the Vatican was last night, the JUne 15th, 2002. The music was mixed, the emails were sent (that same day mind you), calls were made (that same day), alcohol was purchased, and we got the Vatican nice and "dolled up". After a couples hours of waiting and depression over the fact that nobody was there, people started showing up at around 1230am. From then on, wave after wave of people came and went, creating a party of mixed peoples, ages, interests, and most importantly, a FUN party...
...the party at Cavern Club was my first Cavern experience. During the year every thursday night was kept blocked off on my schedule for Blind Pig parties. Cavern is right next door and everytime i'd walk into Blind Pig, i'd always see hordes of people (mostly white...as opposed to the Pig's crowd which was mostly people of color) heading into Cavern, wondering what it was like inside. Well four days ago i finally got the Cavern experience. And i have to say that the experience was a positive one. THere were a lot of people that i knew, a nice dance floor, and Hip hop music- a necessity at any good party. Yes, i have decided. Cavern Club was a good experience...
...the party experience is one that i have never had much of in my years before college. As you can see, that has all changed in the past three years. BUt the question that i often find myself asking is if i, myself, have changed. Have i changed from the "nice, quiet, innocent" boy that i was back in hs and all of my childhood? I think i have, but i'd rather say that i've grown. There is a crucial difference. To change is to be different from what you were before, altering the core of who you were (in my opinion). To grow is to be the same core person you were before but with more experiences which you learned from.
Mom...Dad...i think i'm growing up.
or maybe not
