Blue is the Warmest Colour

I am not one for parties. I am too often held back by my awkward tendencies. However, I find that the House of Blues is a place where I can act a little more naturally. I came here freshman year and immediately fell in love with the place. I do not like venues that lack history or some degree of depth, but I found that the HOB was not lacking in either department. It holds many party rooms in addition to the main music hall. A venue is greater than its interior; it also involves the periphery.  The House of Blues' location on the Sunset Strip means that it is not constrained by the restrictions of time. It provides an extremely intimate and warm atmosphere that can cater to a warm and chaotic time. Therefore, if I was given an opportunity to host a party with financial matters being mere trivialities, then the HOB would be my venue of choice. I would provide an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet (because breakfast is good any time of day), a froyo station, and an endless dessert table embedded with the likes of donuts, IKEA cinnamon rolls, cheese cake, and Nutella ponchik. I would not bother to include dinner entrees, skipping instead to the better meals of the day. My guests would include select classmates, a wide array of strangers, and a few talented friends of mine like Brandon and Savannah Hudson who I first saw at this very location two years back. The performing line-up would range from Lorde to Paul McCartney to Harout Pamboukjian to Jake Bugg. I would not even bother with decorations, as the HOB retains immense aesthetics. Guests could make use of the dance floor or lounge in the intimate party rooms. There would be a multitude of animals on the loose (notably goats) to add to the chaos. The night would speak for itself.
