What's the best part of a tailgate? Getting there!

Have you ever ridden on a party bus?  Well if not, I suggest you do it pronto!  If you don't have an occasion coming up, just invent one, invite all your closest friend and prepare to have one of the better nights of your life.  What occasion did we come up with?  Harvard-Yale.  Get together 20 of your closest friends, have them meet at the Harvard club, then take a drive down to New Haven.  Let me tell you, everyone was staring as we rolled up in our huge bus to the tailgate.  And why wouldn't they?  Clearly, in a campus rolling in fun, we were somehow managing to out do the undergrads.  Tailgating in style, that's us. 

Here's how the morning started.  7 am wake-up call and we pull on our matching H-Y t-shirts (in case you aren't aware, All We Do Is Win is Harvard's unofficial theme song).  Coffee and food (don't go on a party bus without being completely fueled up!) are next on the agenda.  After the business is taken care of, it's finally time to get to the fun...Party Bus Time! 


Rules for a successful Party Bus:
1) Stripper Poles add to the entertainment: There is nothing better then watching your drunk friends attempt to show you their moves on the pole.  There will be some falls, but luckily alcohol dulls the pain.

2) Playlists should be strategically created to get people in the mood:  It's sometimes hard to convince people to get the drinks flowing, especially when starting at 7 am like we were.  Solution?  Start your iPod list with the "Shots" song.  Make sure to bring something nice, such as my personal favorite Patron, and haze everyone on the bus to take a Shot as the song commands.  From there, you'll have no problem getting the party going.

3) Alcohol, and more alcohol: You know how much alcohol you think you'll want?  Well, my advice...bring more!  You'll go through much more than you originally planned, and the worst feeling in the world is when the juice runs out.  It's easy to save extra alcohol, but it's annoying to have

4) Time: Trust me, time runs away from you when you are having fun.  So make sure to have a travel plan that makes it so you don't go over the agreed upon hours.  Once you use up the time limit, they will start charging you more per hour and you'll be way to drunk to argue about it.  So leave in plenty of time to get back inside the limit.  At the worst you'll get back home with some time to spare and you can just party in the bus until they kick you out! I mean because let's be real...who wants to leave the bus anyways?  I know I never did!
