House parties have become a common fixture in Nairobi and other towns. Partying in clubs has become too clichéd and dangerous both from terrorists attacks and the ever inconveniencing alco-blow. Given we like our tipple as a country, we are constantly contriving ways of enjoying our liquor without having to look over our shoulders. Three things I have observed in house parties are: One, the toilet will always be dirty, definitely from the too many people than a house loo can handle. Two, there will be individuals making out on the balcony, in the car park or in one of the bedrooms. And three, someone always throws up (mostly the most talkative, beautiful or a person you respect so much).
Now let us turn our attention to individuals making out in various stages of undress in the dimly lit parts of the house. Trust me, I have done my background research and can tell, half the time, they are strangers who just met at the party and hit it off well. In many instances, some even sleep together, regardless of the consequences.
